For every 5 yards you run, Jill runs 6 yards. If you have run 30 yards, then how far has Jill run?
-
36 yards
-
45 yards
-
27 yards
-
18 yards
Correct Answer
A. 36 yardsExplanation
Jill runs 6 yards for every 5 yards you run. If you have run 30 yards, it means that Jill has run 6 yards for every 5 yards you ran. To find out how far Jill has run, we can set up a proportion: 6/5 = x/30. By cross-multiplying, we get 5x = 180, and solving for x, we find that x = 36. Therefore, Jill has run 36 yards.Rate this question:

You are taking a test in Science. There are 20 questions and is allotted 45 minutes. How much time do you have for 10 questions?

-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. 22 minutes and 5 secondsExplanation
Since there are 20 questions in total and 45 minutes allotted, we can calculate the average time per question by dividing the total time by the number of questions: 45 minutes ÷ 20 questions = 2 minutes and 15 seconds per question. Therefore, for 10 questions, we can multiply the average time per question by 10: 2 minutes and 15 seconds × 10 = 22 minutes and 5 seconds.Rate this question:
