Two trains running in the sam direction on the same track travel at the rate of 40 and 45 mph. if slower train start out at an hour earlier, how long will it take the faster one to catch up with it?
a- 5 hours
b- 6 hours
c- 7 hours
d- 8 hours

A naval detatchment has enough rations to feed 15 people for 8 days. if 5 more people join, how many fewer days will the rations last?
a- 1
b- 2
c- 3
d- 4
ANSWER- B
let x=the number of rtion days for 20 people
15 * 8= 20 * x
120= 20x
20x= 120
x= 120/20
x= 6 ration days for 20 persons
so 8 days - 6 days= 2 ration days
A field can be plowed by 12 machines in 7 hours. if 4 machines are broken and cannot be used how many hours will it take to plow the field?
a- 7.5 hours
b- 8.5 hours
c- 9.5 hours
d- 10.5 hours
ANSWER- D
let x equal the numbr of hours to plow with 8 machines.
12 * 7= 8 * x
84= 8x
8x= 84
x= 84/8
x=10.5 hours
What is the square root of 4 raised to the 5th power

b-16
c- 32
d-64
ANSWER- C
SQR of 4=2
2^5= 2*2*2*2*2
=32
If 3^ (n-2)= 27, what does n equal?
a- 5
b- 7
c- 8
d- 12
ANSWER- A
3 ^ (n-2)= 27
3^3= 27
n-2= 3
n=5
If the sum of the edged of a cube is 24 inches, what is the volume of the cube?
a- 4 cubic inches
b- 8 cubic inches
c- 16 cubic inches
d- 64 cubic inches
ANSWER- B
a cube has 12 edges, so each edge is 24/12= 2
volume= L*W*H
v= 2*2*2
v=8
What is the perimeter of a right triangle whose legs are 3 and 4 feet?
a. 10 feet
b. 12 feet
c. 14 feet
d. 16 feet
ANSWER- B
Using the Pythagorean theorm, the hypotenuse of the right triangle = 5:

3′ + 4′ + 5′ = 12
How much pure acid must be added to 10 ounces of a 55% acid solution in order to produce a 75% acid solution?
a- 5 ounces
b- 6 ounces
c- 7 ounces
d- 8 ounces
ANSWER- D
pure acid:
# of ounces= x, parts pure acid= 100, # of ounces of pure acid= 100x
40% acid solution:
# of ounces= 10, parts pure acid= 44, # of ounces of pure acid= 550
60% acid solution:
# of ounces= 10 + x, parts pure acid= 75, # of ounces of pure acid= 75(10+ x)
SO....
100x + 550= 75 (10 + x)
100x + 550= 750 + 75x
-550 -550
100x= 200+ 75x
-75x - 75x
25x= 200
x= 8
A farmer who is 6 feet tall wants to determine the height of his barn, he notices that his shadow is 14 feet long and that his barn casts a shadow of 70 feet long. how high is the barn?
a- 30 feet
b- 35 feet
c- 40 feet
d- 45 feet
ANSWER- A
6 : 14= x: 70
14x= 70 * 6
14x= 420
x= 30
If (x-y)^2= 60 and x^2 + y^2= 40, then xy=
a= -40
b= -20
c= -12
d= -10
ANSWER= D
(x-y) ^2= x^2 - 2xy + y^2
60= 40 - 2xy
-2xy= 20
xy= -10

Question 11
What is the measure of angle x?
a- 35 degree
b- 45 degree
c- 50 degree
d- 70 degee
ANSWER- C
arc AB= 80 degrees therefore, AOB = 80 degrees, the two radii are equal.
angle x= (180 degree- 80 degree)
= 1/2 (100 degrees)
= 50 degrees

A family drove from new york to san francisco, a distance of 3000 miles, they drove 1/8 of the distance the first day and 1/7 of the remaining distance the second day. how many miles were left to be driven?
a- 2200 miles
b- 2250 miles
c- 2400 miles
d- 2500 miles
ANSWER- B
1/8 of 3000= 375
3000- 375= 2625
1/7 of 2625= 375
2625- 375= 2250 miles still to be driven
In a 4- hour exam of 420 question, there are 60 math probs. if twice as much time should be allowed for each math prob as for each of the question, how many minutes should be spent on the math prob?
a- 60 min
b- 65 min
c- 70 min
d- 75 min
ANSWER- A
let x= min to be spent on each math prob
x * 60 + x/2 * 360= 240
60 x + 180 x= 240
240 x= 240
x=1
so, 60x= 60 minutes to be spent on the 60 math probs
