1. Jeff needed a 6 ft. rope. He found 2 pieces of rope and thought maybe he could tie them together. One rope was 40 inches and the other was 36 inches. How long would the rope be, and would he have enough rope if he ties them together?

• A. No, the rope would be 76 inches.
• B. Yes, the rope would be 76 inches.
• C. Yes, the rope would be 6 feet.
• D. No, the rope would be 6 feet.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 6 feet to inches, we multiply 6 by 12 (1 foot = 12 inches), giving us 72 inches needed. By adding the lengths of the two ropes (40 inches + 36 inches), Jeff would have a total of 76 inches, which is more than the 72 inches required. Therefore, he would have enough rope if he ties them together. Choice A and D are incorrect because they misinterpret the conversion from feet to inches. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the actual combined length of the two ropes.

2. A delivery of medical supplies includes 36 boxes. If each box weighs 2.5 pounds, what is the total weight of the delivery?

• A. 90 pounds
• B. 75 pounds
• C. 120 pounds
• D. 100 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total weight of the delivery, you need to multiply the number of boxes (36) by the weight of each box (2.5 pounds). This gives you 36 boxes * 2.5 pounds = 90 pounds, which is the correct answer. Choice B (75 pounds), C (120 pounds), and D (100 pounds) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total weight based on the given information.

3. Divide: 92 ÷ 11 =

• A. 8 r3
• B. 8 r4
• C. 8 r7
• D. 9 r1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 92 by 11, you get 8 as the whole number part of the quotient. The remainder is 4, so the correct answer is 8 r4. Choice A, 8 r3, is incorrect because the remainder is 4, not 3. Choice C, 8 r7, is incorrect as the remainder cannot be greater than the divisor. Choice D, 9 r1, is incorrect as the whole number part of the quotient is 8, not 9.

4. If Bill has 5.5 vacation days left for the rest of the year and 3.25 sick days left, how many days will he have off work if he uses all of this time?

• A. 8.75
• B. 7.75
• C. 9
• D. 6.75

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total days off, you need to sum up the remaining vacation days and sick days. 5.5 vacation days + 3.25 sick days = 8.75 days off. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (7.75) is incorrect because it doesn't account for all available days off. Choice C (9) is incorrect as it overestimates the total days off. Choice D (6.75) is incorrect as it underestimates the total days off.

5. A bookshelf has triangular shelves with a base of 40cm and a height of 30cm. The depth of the shelf is 25cm. What is the volume of each shelf?

• A. 3000 cu cm
• B. 3750 cu cm
• C. 5000 cu cm
• D. 7500 cu cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the volume of the triangular shelf, first calculate the area of the triangle (1/2 * base * height) which is (1/2 * 40 * 30) = 600 sq cm. Then, multiply this area by the depth of the shelf (600 * 25) = 15000 cu cm. Therefore, the volume of each shelf is 3750 cu cm. Choice A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume based on the dimensions provided.
