A rectangle has a perimeter of 36 inches. Its length is 3 inches greater than twice the width.
What's the rectangle's length?

  1. 5 inches
  2. 13 inches
  3. 18 inches
  4. 20 inches

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A rectangle's perimeter is determined by the formula P = 2(l + w). The length of this rectangle is 3 + 2w.
Substituting the known values into the formula results in 36 = 2(w + 3 + 2w).
36 = 2(3w + 3)
18 = 3w + 3
15 = 3w
w = 5
As the length is 3 + 2w, then l = 3 + 2(5), or l = 13.



A back yard is 50 feet by 100 feet.
What's its area?

  1. 150 square feet
  2. 500 square feet
  3. 2,500 square feet
  4. 5,000 square feet

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the length × the width of the rectangle. 50 × 100 = 5,000.



Eric is driving a car in which the speedometer is calibrated in kilometers per hour (kph). He notes that his car is traveling at a rate of 75 kph, when he passes a speed limit sign stating the limit is 40 miles per hour (mph). He knows that a kilometer is about 5/8 of a mile.
If a police officer stops him at this point, how many mph over the limit will the ticket read?

  1. 5
  2. 7
  3. 9
  4. 11

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A kilometer is 5/8 of a mile, so multiply 75 × 5/8, or 75/1 × 5/8 = 375/8. Divide 8 into 375 to reduce the fraction and determine that Eric was traveling at 47 miles per hour, 7 mph over the 40 mph posted limit.



Three apples and twice as many pears add up to one-half the number of grapes in a fruit basket.
How many grapes are in the basket?

  1. 8
  2. 18
  3. 28
  4. 38

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Let x = the number of grapes. 3 apples and 6 pears equals 1/2 of x or 1/2(x) = 9. x = 2(9) or x = 18.
