If 20 typists can type 48 letters in 20 minutes, then how many letters will 30 typists working at the same rate complete in 1 hour?
Answer(s): D
First calculate the number of letters completed by 30 typists in 20 minutes. Let x = the number of letters typed by 30 typists and set up the proportion typists/letters = 20/48 = 30/x. Cross-multiply to get 20x = 1,440. Divide both sides by 20 and get x = 72. Since 20 minutes is one-third of an hour, multiply 72 × 3 = 216 to get the total letters for one hour.
What is the final balance of a bank account after two years if the starting balance is $1,000 at an annual rate of 5%, using simple interest? Assume no other money was withdrawn or deposited.
This problem can be solved by using the simple interest formula: interest = principal × rate × time. Remember to change the interest rate to a decimal before using it in the formula. I = (1,000) (0.05) (2) = $100. Since $100 was made in interest, the total in the bank account is $1,000 + $100 = $1,100.
Which of the following has the smallest numerical value?
Answer(s): A
Using the rules for exponents, choice a simplifies to 25 and choices b, c, and d simplify to 26 = 64. Choice e becomes 27 × 81, which is obviously much larger than 64.
How many liters of a 40% iodine solution need to be mixed with 35 liters of a 20% iodine solution to create a 35% iodine solution?
Let x = the number of liters of the 40% solution. Use the equation 0.40x + 0.20(35) = 0.35 (x + 35) to show the two amounts mixed equal the 35% solution.Solve the equation: 0.40x + 0.20(35) = 0.35(x + 35)Multiply both sides by 100 in order to work with more compatible numbers:40x + 20(35) = 35(x + 35)40x + 700 = 35x + 1,225Subtract 700 on both sides: 40x + 700 – 700 = 35x + 1,225 – 700 Subtract 35x from both sides 40x – 35x = 35x – 35x + 525Divide both sides by 5:5x/5 = 525/5 x = 105 liters of 35% iodine solution
If it takes Steve 6 hours to tile a floor and Cheryl 4 hours to tile the same floor, how long would it take both Steve and Cheryl to tile the floor if they worked together?
Answer(s): B
Let x = the part of the floor that can be tiled in 1 hour. Since Steve can tile a floor in 6 hours, he can tile 1/6 of the floor in 1 hour. Since Cheryl can tile the same floor in 4 hours, she can tile 1/4 of the floor in 1 hour. Use the equation 1/6 + 1/4 = 1/x, where 1/x represents the part of the floor they can tile in an hour together. Multiply each term by the LCD = 12x. 12x × 1/6 + 12x × 1/4 = 12x × 1/x. The equation simplifies to 2x + 3x = 12.5x =12. Divide each side by 5 to get x = 12/5 =2.4 hours. Since 0.4 times 60 minutes equals 24 minutes, the final answer is 2 hours 24 minutes.
