EXAM QUESTIONS
QUESTION 1
A radar is designed to report the track of an aircraft every second. If this radar reports 30 tracks in
one minute, what percentage of the time did the radar track the aircraft?
CORRECT ANSWER
50%
RATIONALE: There are 60 seconds in a minute, and the radar reports 30 tracks in that time, indicating it successfully
tracked the aircraft once every two seconds. Since the radar tracks the aircraft once every two seconds, it effectively
tracks the aircraft 50% of the time due to the equal distribution of successful and unsuccessful tracking intervals within
the minute.
QUESTION 2
Jerry walked a dog from 6:40 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. one day. If he was paid at the rate of $6 per hour, how
much did he earn that day?
Trusted by thousands of students and professionals worldwide Page 1 of 62
, CORRECT ANSWER
$5.00
RATIONALE: The key concept here is the time period during which Jerry walked the dog, which is 50 minutes, or 50/60
= 5/6 of an hour. Since he was paid at the rate of $6 per hour, his earnings can be calculated by multiplying $6 by the
fraction of the hour he worked, resulting in $5.00.
QUESTION 3
A woman is looking for a bigger square office. She finds an office twice the area of her current office.
If the perimeter of her current office is 88 feet, how many square feet is the new office?
CORRECT ANSWER
968 sq feet
RATIONALE: The woman's current office has a perimeter of 88 feet, which allows us to find its side length by dividing
88 by 4 (since a square has 4 equal sides). Once we know the side length of the original office, we can calculate its area
by squaring the side length, and then double this area to find the area of the new office.
QUESTION 4
If the perimeter of a square garden is 84 feet, what is the area of the garden?
CORRECT ANSWER
441 sq ft
RATIONALE: The perimeter of a square is the sum of all its sides, so since all sides of a square are equal, we can divide
the total perimeter by 4 to find the length of one side. Using this side length, we can square it to find the area of the
square, resulting in the correct calculation of the garden's area.
QUESTION 5
How many feet of chain fence are necessary to enclose a dog pen that is square and has an area of 64
sq feet?
CORRECT ANSWER
32 feet
RATIONALE: The area of the square dog pen is 64 sq feet, and since it's a square, all sides are equal in length. To find
the length of one side, we take the square root of the area, resulting in a side length of 8 feet, and since a square has
four equal sides, we multiply this by 4 to get the perimeter, which is the total length of fence needed.
QUESTION 6
Five people, each working 8 hours a day can assemble 400 toys in a 5 day work week. what is the
average number of toys assembled per hour per person?
CORRECT ANSWER
Trusted by thousands of students and professionals worldwide Page 2 of 62
, 16
RATIONALE: First, calculate the total number of hours worked by five people in a 5-day work week, which is 5 people *
8 hours/day * 5 days = 200 hours. Then, divide the total number of toys assembled by the total number of hours
worked, 400 toys / 200 hours, to find the average number of toys assembled per hour per person.
QUESTION 7
If a 5-foot post casts an 8-foot shadow at the same time that a nearby tree casts a 48-foot shadow,
how tall is the tree?
CORRECT ANSWER
30 feet
RATIONALE: The problem can be solved using similar triangles, as the angle of elevation of the sun is the same for both
the post and the tree, resulting in proportional relationships between their heights and shadow lengths. By setting up a
ratio and cross-multiplying, the height of the tree and the length of its shadow form a similar triangle to the post and its
shadow, allowing the tree's height to be calculated.
QUESTION 8
if 35 of the 140 cars delivered to a dealer were blue.. what % were blue?
CORRECT ANSWER
25%
RATIONALE: To find the percentage of blue cars, we need to divide the number of blue cars (35) by the total number of
cars (140) and then multiply by 100, which represents the conversion from a ratio to a percentage. This calculation will
give us the proportion of blue cars in relation to the total number of cars, resulting in the correct percentage.
QUESTION 9
Before being painted, a concrete play area was marked off into squares and then into triangles. For
the square shown, what is the area of the triangular part labeled XYZ?
CORRECT ANSWER
16 sq ft
RATIONALE: The area of the triangular part labeled XYZ is a fraction of the total square's area, which is divided into
four equal parts by the diagonal, forming two identical triangles on each side of the diagonal. Since the square is
divided into two identical triangles by the diagonal, the area of the triangular part labeled XYZ is half of the total
square's area, which is 16 sq ft.
QUESTION 10
A pie was cut into two equal pieces. Each of the pieces of pie was cut into halves again, and each of
those smaller pieces was cut into two equal pieces. If two of the pieces of the pie were eaten what
portion of the pie remains?
Trusted by thousands of students and professionals worldwide Page 3 of 62
, CORRECT ANSWER
3/4
RATIONALE: When the pie is cut into 2 equal pieces and then each of those pieces is cut into halves again, the total
number of pieces is 4. If two of the pieces are eaten, it means 2 out of the 4 equal pieces remain.
QUESTION 11
A box of nails weigh 1-5/6 pounds. What is the weight of 12 boxes?
CORRECT ANSWER
22
RATIONALE: To find the weight of 12 boxes of nails, first convert the mixed number 1-5/6 to an improper fraction by
multiplying 1 by 6 and adding 5, resulting in 11/6 pounds per box. Then, multiply 11/6 pounds by 12 boxes to find the
total weight, which simplifies to 22 pounds.
QUESTION 12
A plumber has a car payment of $250 per month. $225 of which goes to paying off the principal, and
the rest goes towards the interest. What percent is being payed for interest?
CORRECT ANSWER
10%
RATIONALE: The key to solving this problem lies in understanding that the interest is the remaining amount after
subtracting the principal from the total car payment, which in this case is $250 - $225 = $25. This remaining amount
represents the interest paid, and to find the percentage, we need to express it as a proportion of the total car payment,
which is a fundamental concept in percentage calculations.
QUESTION 13
How many 5-pound bags of apples can be made from 400 apples, each weighing 1/4 pound?
CORRECT ANSWER
20
RATIONALE: To find the number of 5-pound bags of apples that can be made, first calculate the total weight of apples,
which is 400 apples * 1/4 pound per apple = 100 pounds. Then, divide the total weight of apples by the weight of each
bag, 100 pounds / 5 pounds per bag, to get the number of bags that can be filled.
