Solve the proportion (find the value of x):

9/14 = x/56

  1. x = 14
  2. x = 25
  3. x = 36
  4. x = 42

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The first step to solving a proportion problem is to rewrite the problem as a fraction.


Then you cross-multiply and solve the resulting equation. 14x = (9)(56)
14x = 504
x = 504/14
x = 36



How many centimeters are there in a foot?

  1. 12
  2. 24.5

Joe makes $20 an hour and Tim makes $30 an hour. How many hours more than Tim must Joe work to earn the same amount Tim makes in 4 hours?

  1. 1
  2. 2

  4. 4

Answer(s): B

Tim will make $120 in 4 hours and Joe will need 6 hours to make $120. So 6 − 4 = 2



Solve for x:

3(x − 4) = 18

  1. x = 3/2
  2. x = 22/3
  3. x = 6
  4. x = 10

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

This is a basic algebra problem where you are need to solve for a variable. To solve this, first divide both sides by 3: 3(x − 4) = 18
x − 4 = 18/3
x − 4 = 6

Then solve for x:
x − 4 = 6
x = 6 + 4
x = 10
