A treasure map is drawn to a scale of 2 inches = 3 miles. On the map, the distance between Point A and X- marks-the-spot is 91/2 inches.
How many actual miles does this represent?

  1. 281/2 miles
  2. 141/4 miles
  3. 61/3 miles
  4. 19 miles

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

If 2 inches = 3 miles, then 1 inch equals 11/2 miles: 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5. Multiply 11/2 miles × 91/2 inches to determine the actual distance: 1.5 × 9.5 = 14.25 or 141/4 miles.



A painter has painted a picture on a piece of canvas that measures 10 × 14 inches. In order to accommodate a frame, he has left an unpainted margin of 1 inch all the way around.
What part of the canvas has been painted?

  1. 80%
  2. 75%
  3. 25%
  4. 66%

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The area of the entire piece of canvas = 10 inches × 14 inches = 140 square inches. The portion painted on equals 8 inches × 12 inches = 112 square inches. (This is determined by subtracting 1 inch from the length of each side to account for the margin.) The portion used for painting can be expressed as a fraction: 112/140.
Reduce this fraction (divide 112 by 140) to determine that 80% of the canvas is covered with paint.



A dog trainer is building a dog run that measures 9 × 16 feet.
If she wants to fence the perimeter of the run, how many feet of chain link fence will she need?

  1. 144 feet
  2. 25 feet
  3. 32 feet
  4. 50 feet

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Calculate perimeter by adding the lengths of all four sides of a quadrilateral: 9 + 9 + 16 + 16 = 50 feet.



A rectangle is 11/2 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter of the rectangle is 100 inches.
What's the length of the rectangle?

  1. 20 inches
  2. 30 inches
  3. 40 inches
  4. 45 inches

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. In this case, P = 100 and L = 1.5W.
100 = 2(1.5W) + 2W
100 = 3W + 2W
100 = 5W
W = 100/5
W = 20.
The width of the rectangle is 20 inches. Because the length is 11/2 the width, 1.5 × 20 = 30.
