If 4 people can run 8 machines, how many machines can 2 people run?

  1. 2
  2. 4
  3. 1
  4. 3

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Two people is 1/2 as many as 4 people: 2 ÷ 4 = 1/2. Multiply the number of machines 4 people can run by 1/2 to determine how many machines 2 people can run: 8 × 1/2 = 4.



The price of daily admission at an amusement park is $36. The park sells an unlimited season pass for $240.
How many trips would you need to make with the season ticket in order for it to cost less than paying the daily admission rate?

  1. 6
  2. 7
  3. 8
  4. 9

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Let x equal the number of daily tickets you would purchase. 36x = the daily ticket cost.
240 < 36x
240/36 < x
62/3 < x
You would need to use the ticket more than 62/3 times (or 7 times) in order for it to be cheaper to use the season ticket.



A plumber needs four lengths of pipe, each 3-feet, 6-inches long. Pipes are sold by the foot. How many feet does he need to buy?

  1. 15
  2. 16
  3. 14
  4. 12

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Convert the pipe length to inches: 3 feet, 6 inches = 42 inches. Multiply 42 inches by the number of pipes needed to find the number of inches of pipe needed: 42 × 4 = 168. Divide the total amount of pipe needed in inches by 12 to determine how many feet of pipes are needed: 168 ÷ 12 = 14.
