A bonded courier drove for 7 hours on back roads at an average speed of 48 miles per hour. Her car gets 21 miles per gallon of gas.
How many gallons of gas did she use?

  1. 24
  2. 11
  3. 18
  4. 16

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Find the number of miles traveled by multiplying the rate, 48 miles per hour, by the time, 7 hours.
48 × 7 = 336 miles
The number of gallons of gas used is the number of miles driven divided by the number of miles per gallon.
336 / 21 = 112 / 7 = 16 gallons



A wall is 7 feet 8 inches in height; four vertical pieces of wallpaper are needed to cover the wall.
Assuming there is no waste, what is the minimum length that a roll of wallpaper must be to cover the wall?

  1. 29 feet, 2 inches
  2. 31 feet, 2 inches
  3. 31 feet
  4. 30 feet, 8 inches

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

If there are four pieces of wallpaper, each 7 feet, 8 inches long, the total length of the wallpaper is 4 × 7 feet, 8 inches, or 28 feet, 32 inches. Since 12 inches = 1 foot, 32 inches = 2 feet, 8 inches. Thus, 28 feet, 32 inches = 30 feet, 8 inches.



We bought 5 pounds of cashew nuts worth $1.80 per pound, mixed with 4 pounds of peanuts worth $1.62 per pound.
What is the value per pound of the mixture?

  1. $1.72
  2. $1.71
  3. $3.42
  4. $l.82

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

5 pounds of cashew nuts at $1.80 per pound is worth 5 × $1.80 = $9.00 4 pounds of peanuts at $1.62 per pound is worth 4 × $1.62 = $6.48.
The total value of the 9-pound mixture is $9.00 + $6.48 = $15.48. The value of the mixture per pound is found by dividing the total value by the number of pounds.
$15.48 / 9 = $1.72



In a clothing factory, 5 workers finish production of 6 garments each per day, 3 others turn out 4 garments each per day, and 1 worker turns out 12 per day.
What is the average number of garments produced per worker per day?

  1. 22/9
  2. 6
  3. 4
  4. 71/3

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

5 workers making 6 garments each = 30 garments per day
3 workers making 4 garments each = 12 garments per day
1/9 workers making 12 garments = 12/54 garments per day
Add the number of workers and the number of garments per day.
9 workers make 54 garments per day.
To find the average number of garments per worker per day, divide the number of garments per day by the number of workers.
54/9 = 6 garments per worker per day.
