QUESTION: 71

A treasure map is drawn to a scale of 2 inches = 3 miles. On the map, the distance between Point A and X- marks-the-spot is 91/2 inches.
How many actual miles does this represent?

281/2 miles
141/4 miles
61/3 miles
19 miles

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

If 2 inches = 3 miles, then 1 inch equals 11/2 miles: 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5. Multiply 11/2 miles × 91/2 inches to determine the actual distance: 1.5 × 9.5 = 14.25 or 141/4 miles.

A painter has painted a picture on a piece of canvas that measures 10 × 14 inches. In order to accommodate a frame, he has left an unpainted margin of 1 inch all the way around.
What part of the canvas has been painted?

80%
75%
25%
66%

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The area of the entire piece of canvas = 10 inches × 14 inches = 140 square inches. The portion painted on equals 8 inches × 12 inches = 112 square inches. (This is determined by subtracting 1 inch from the length of each side to account for the margin.) The portion used for painting can be expressed as a fraction: 112/140.
Reduce this fraction (divide 112 by 140) to determine that 80% of the canvas is covered with paint.

QUESTION: 74

A rectangle is 11/2 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter of the rectangle is 100 inches.
What's the length of the rectangle?

20 inches
30 inches
40 inches
45 inches

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. In this case, P = 100 and L = 1.5W.
100 = 2(1.5W) + 2W
100 = 3W + 2W
100 = 5W
W = 100/5
W = 20.
The width of the rectangle is 20 inches. Because the length is 11/2 the width, 1.5 × 20 = 30.
