QUESTION: 87

In a 60-minute gym class, 40 girls want to play volleyball, but only 10 can play at a time.
For each player to get the same amount of playing time, how many minutes should each person play?

11/2 minutes
6 minutes
30 minutes
15 minutes

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Divide the group of 40 girls by the number of girls who can play at the same time: 40 ÷ 10 = 4. This means 4 groups of girls have to share the 60 minutes or 60 minutes ÷ 4 = 15 minutes. Thus, each girl plays for 15 minutes.

QUESTION: 88

The video-rental store charges $2.00 for the first day a rented video is overdue and $1.25 for each day after that.
If a person paid $8.25 in late fees, how many days was the video overdue?

7 days
6 days
4 days
5 days

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Subtract the first day's late charge from the total: $8.25 $2.00 = $6.25.
Then divide the remainder by $1.25 to determine the number of additional days the video was overdue: $6.25 ÷ $1.25 = 5.
Add those 5 days to the first day the video was late, to find that the video was 6 days overdue.

QUESTION: 89

Janet is trying to watch her weight. A 1/2 cup of pudding has 150 calories. The same amount of broccoli has 60 calories.
How much broccoli can Janet eat to equal the same number of calories in the 1/2 cup of pudding?

2 cups
21/2 cups
11/2 cups
11/4 cups

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Divide the number of calories in the pudding by the number of calories in the broccoli: 150 ÷ 60 = 21/2. Janet can eat 21/2 times the amount of broccoli as she can eat pudding for the same number of calories. Multiply 21/2 by 1/ 2 cup (the amount of pudding that contains 150 calories) to find how many cups of broccoli she can eat for 150 calories: 2.5 × 0.5 = 1.25 or 11/4 cups.

QUESTION: 90

The neighbor's dog barks at a squirrel every 15 minutes at night.
If he first barks at 10 p.m., when you're trying to fall asleep, how many times will he bark by 2 a.m., when you give up trying to sleep and decide to read a book instead?

16 times
132 times
17 times
15 times

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The time between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. is 4 hours or 240 minutes. Divide the total number of minutes in the time period by 15 minutes the interval that the dog barks. Then add 1 because the dog started barking at the beginning of the period: (240 ÷ 15) + 1 = 17.
