Question #31
If a hexahedral die is rolled two times, what's the probability of NOT rolling a five both times?
  1. A
    1/36
  2. B
    1/6
  3. C
    4/36
  4. D
    25/36

Correct Answer:
D
The probability of rolling a 5 is 1 out of 6 (1ג„6), so the probability of NOT rolling a 5 is 1 ג€" 1ג„6, or 5ג„6. The probability of not rolling a 5 twice is 5ג„6 ֳ— 5ג„6, or 25ג„36.

Question #32
Jack loaned Bob $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 7%.
After one year, how much will Bob owe Jack?
  1. A
    $105
  2. B
    $1,500
  3. C
    $1,605
  4. D
    $1,507

Correct Answer:
C
Multiply loaned money, $1,500, by 7% to determine how much is the annual interest rate. $1,500 ֳ— 0.07 = $105.
Then add the annual interest state to the total amount of debt $105 + $1,500 = $1,605.

Question #33
A 2-ton truck is taxed at a rate of $0.12 per pound.
How much is the total tax bill?
  1. A
    $480
  2. B
    $240
  3. C
    $120
  4. D
    $600

Correct Answer:
A
2 tons = 4,000 pounds. 4,000 ֳ— $0.12 = $480.00.

Question #34
If ab = 10, and a -
= 30, solve for y in the equation, y = (a + b)
.
  1. A
    40
  2. B
    45
  3. C
    50
  4. D
    55

Correct Answer:
C
y = (a + b)
. Expanding the equation results in y = a
+ b
+ 2ab. You know that a
+ b
= 30, and ab = 10. When you substitute these known values into the equation, you get y = 30 + 2(10). Solving for y, results in y = 50.

Question #35
A half-pint of cream is what part of a gallon?
  1. A
    1ג„8
  2. B
    1ג„4
  3. C
    1ג„16
  4. D
    1ג„6

Correct Answer:
C
8 pints make up a gallon, so a gallon contains 16 half-pints. One half-pint equals 1ג„16 of a gallon.

Question #36
The cost of a protein bar increased from $2.50 to $2.80.
How much was the percent increase to the $2.80 rate?
  1. A
    16%
  2. B
    10%
  3. C
    15%
  4. D
    12%

Correct Answer:
D
First subtract the old cost from the new cost: $2.80 ג€" $2.50 = $0.30. Then divide the difference by the old cost to find the percent difference: $0.30 ֳ· $2.50 = 0.12
= 12%.

Question #37
An aircraft flies over Boondock Air Force Base at 10:20 a.m. At 10:32 a.m., the plane passes over Sea Side Naval Air Station, 120 miles away.
How fast is the aircraft traveling?
  1. A
    400 mph
  2. B
    500 mph
  3. C
    600 mph
  4. D
    700 mph

Correct Answer:
C
The aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes, which is 1ג„5 of an hour. Therefore, in 5ג„5 (one) hour, it would travel 5 ֳ— 120, or 600 miles. The aircraft is traveling 600 miles per hour.

Question #38
Last year, Margot grew 50 bushels of corn in her backyard. This year, the yield has increased 8%.
How many bushels of corn did Margot grow this year?

    56
  2. B
    52
  3. C
    60
