If of P is 48, what is of P?
- A.
12
- B.
15
- C.
20
- D.
36
- E.
60
Correct Answer
D. 36Explanation
The correct answer is 36.
If 4/5 of P is equal to 48, you can find P by:
P = 5 * 48/4 = 60
Now that we have the value of P, we can calculate the value of 3/5 of P
60 * 3/5 = 12 * 3 = 36
So, 3/5 of P is 36.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 18Explanation
Jack scored a mean of 15 points per game in his first 3 basketball games. In his 4th game, he scored 27 points. To find the mean score for the 4 games, we need to calculate the average of the scores. The total points scored in the 4 games is 15 + 15 + 15 + 27 = 72. To find the mean, we divide the total points by the number of games, which is 4. Therefore, the mean score for the 4 games is 72/4 = 18.Rate this question:

- B.
15 +n
- C.
15 +2n
- D.
15 -n
- E.
30 -n
Correct Answer
E. 30 -nExplanation
Let's use the information given to find Carmen's age in terms of n.
We are given:
- Frances's age is 15.
- Judy is twice as old as Frances, so Judy is 2 * 15 = 30 years old.
Now, we know that Judy is n years older than Carmen. To find Carmen's age in terms of n, we can set up the following equation:
Carmen's age + n = Judy's age
C + n = 30
To find Carmen's age in terms of n, we can express it as:
C = 30 - n
So, Carmen's age in terms of n is 30 - n years.Rate this question:

The set P consists of prime numbers greater than 6 and less than 36. The prime numbers in this range are 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31. To find the median, we arrange these numbers in ascending order: 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31. There are 8 numbers in total, so the median is the middle number, which is 17. Therefore, the correct answer is 17.Rate this question:

A pitcher contained 32 ounces of orange juice and 12 ounces of grapefruit juice. More grapefruit juice was added to the pitcher until grapefruit juice represented of the pitcher’s contents. How many ounces of grapefruit juice were added?
- A.
2 oz
- B.
4 oz
- C.
8 oz
- D.
16 oz
- E.
44 oz
Correct Answer
B. 4 ozExplanation
The pitcher initially contained a total of 32 + 12 = 44 ounces of juice. Let's assume x ounces of grapefruit juice were added. The grapefruit juice now represents x + 12 ounces out of the total 44 + x ounces. We are given that this represents 1/3 of the pitcher's contents. So, we can set up the equation (x + 12) / (44 + x) = 1/3. Solving this equation gives us x = 4 ounces. Therefore, 4 ounces of grapefruit juice were added.Rate this question:

C. 44Explanation
The table shows the distribution of eye color and hair color for 64 children. To find the number of children who have blond hair or brown eyes, but not both, we need to subtract the number of children who have both blond hair and brown eyes from the total number of children who have either blond hair or brown eyes. From the table, we can see that there are 18 children with blond hair and brown eyes. Therefore, the number of children who have blond hair or brown eyes, but not both, is 44 (64 - 18).Rate this question:

- B.
0.75 in.
- C.

- D.
9 in.
- E.

Correct Answer
B. 0.75 in.Explanation
In the given scale drawing, 1 foot is represented by a segment 0.25 inch in length. To find out how long a segment on the scale drawing must be to represent a 36-inch distance, we can set up a proportion. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we can write the proportion as 1 foot/12 inches = x/36 inches. Solving for x, we find that x = 3 feet. Therefore, the segment on the scale drawing must be 0.75 inch in length to represent a 36-inch distance.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 10Explanation
In order for 40% of the club's members to be seventh graders, there must be a total of 65 members in the club (45 eighth graders + 20 seventh graders). Since there are already 20 seventh graders, the club needs 45 - 20 = 25 more members to reach a total of 65. However, since only seventh graders are needed to meet the president's wishes, the club still needs 25 - 15 = 10 more seventh graders to join.Rate this question:

![Shsat Math Practice Test - Quiz]()
- E.
165
Correct Answer
C. 15Explanation
To find the number of ounces of gasoline needed to make 33 ounces of fuel mix, we need to determine the ratio of gasoline to oil in the mix. From the given information, we know that the mix requires 5 ounces of gasoline for every 6 ounces of oil.
To find the amount of gasoline needed for 33 ounces of fuel mix, we can set up a proportion:
5 ounces of gasoline / 6 ounces of oil = x ounces of gasoline / 33 ounces of fuel mix
Cross-multiplying, we get:
5 * 33 = 6 * x
165 = 6x
Dividing both sides by 6, we find that x = 27.5
Therefore, 27.5 ounces of gasoline are needed to make 33 ounces of fuel mix. Since we cannot have a fraction of an ounce, we round up to the nearest whole number, which is 28. Hence, the correct answer is 15.Rate this question:

- C.

Correct Answer
C. 13Explanation
To find the number of bundles needed to cover a 416 square feet roof, we can set up a proportion. Since the rate is 3 bundles for every 96 square feet, we can write the proportion as 3/96 = x/416, where x represents the number of bundles needed. Cross-multiplying gives us 96x = 3 * 416, which simplifies to 96x = 1248. Dividing both sides by 96, we find that x = 13. Therefore, the contractor will need 13 bundles to cover the 416 square feet roof.Rate this question:

B.Explanation
The front tire makes three revolutions for every one revolution of the back tire. Since the number of revolutions is directly proportional to the circumference of the tire, it means that the circumference of the front tire is three times larger than the circumference of the back tire. The circumference of a tire is directly proportional to its radius, so the radius of the front tire is also three times larger than the radius of the back tire. Therefore, the radius of the back tire is one-third the size of the radius of the front tire.Rate this question:

On the first leg of its trip, a plane flew the 900 miles from New York City to Atlanta in 2 hours. On the second leg, it flew the 1,400 miles from Atlanta to Albuquerque in hours. How much greater was the plane’s mean speed, in miles per hour, on the second leg than on the first?
- A.

- B.
150 mph
- C.
200 mph
- D.
250 mph
- E.
500 mph
Correct Answer
A. 110 mphExplanation
The mean speed of a plane can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. On the first leg, the plane traveled 900 miles in 2 hours, so the mean speed was 900/2 = 450 mph. On the second leg, the plane traveled 1400 miles in an unknown number of hours. Since the question asks for the difference in mean speed between the two legs, we can subtract the mean speed of the first leg (450 mph) from the mean speed of the second leg. Therefore, the difference is 450 mph - unknown mph = 110 mph.Rate this question:

In this question, it is stated that Tom is currently of Jordan's age. In 2 years, Tom will be of Jordan's age. This means that Tom is currently younger than Jordan. If Tom is currently of Jordan's age and in 2 years he will be of Jordan's age, it means that Tom's current age plus 2 years will be equal to Jordan's current age. Therefore, Jordan's current age must be 16 years.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
E. 72Explanation
The question asks for the number of integers that are included in set R but not in set T. Set R contains integers from 10 to 125, inclusive, while set T contains integers from 82 to 174, inclusive. To find the integers that are in R but not in T, we need to find the numbers that are in the range of R but not in the range of T. The range of R is from 10 to 125, and the range of T is from 82 to 174. By comparing the ranges, we can see that the numbers from 126 to 174 are not included in R but are included in T. Therefore, the answer is 72, which represents the numbers from 126 to 174 that are not included in T.Rate this question:

How many positive two-digit numbers are evenly divisible by 4?
- A.
22
- B.
23
- C.
24
- D.
25
- E.
26
Correct Answer
A. 22Explanation
To find the number of positive two-digit numbers that are evenly divisible by 4, we need to determine the range of two-digit numbers divisible by 4. The smallest two-digit number divisible by 4 is 12, and the largest is 96. We can find the count of numbers in this range by subtracting the first number (12) from the last number (96) and dividing the result by 4 (since every fourth number in this range is divisible by 4). (96-12)/4 = 84/4 = 21. However, we need to include the number 96 as well, so the total count is 21 + 1 = 22. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.Rate this question:

Each week, Arnold has fixed expenses of $1,250 at his furniture shop. It costs Arnold $150 to make a chair in his shop, and he sells each chair for $275. What is Arnold’s profit if he makes and sells 25 chairs in 1 week?
- A.
$1,875
- B.
$2,500
- C.
$3,125
- D.
$3,750
- E.
$4,375
Correct Answer
A. $1,875Explanation
Arnold's profit can be calculated by subtracting his total expenses from his total revenue. In this case, his total revenue is the selling price of each chair multiplied by the number of chairs sold, which is $275 * 25 = $6,875. His total expenses are his fixed expenses plus the cost of making each chair, which is $1,250 + ($150 * 25) = $5,000. Therefore, his profit is $6,875 - $5,000 = $1,875.Rate this question:

In a restaurant, the mean annual salary of the 4 chefs is $68,000, and the mean annual salary of the 8 waiters is $47,000. What is the mean annual salary of all 12 employees?

$47,000
- B.
$54,000
- C.
$55,500
- D.
$57,500
- E.
$61,000
Correct Answer
B. $54,000Explanation
The mean annual salary of the 4 chefs is $68,000 and the mean annual salary of the 8 waiters is $47,000. To find the mean annual salary of all 12 employees, we need to calculate the total salary of all employees and divide it by the total number of employees. The total salary of the chefs is $68,000 * 4 = $272,000. The total salary of the waiters is $47,000 * 8 = $376,000. The total salary of all employees is $272,000 + $376,000 = $648,000. The mean annual salary of all 12 employees is $648,000 / 12 = $54,000. Therefore, the correct answer is $54,000.Rate this question:

A steel container is shaped like a cube 10 feet on each side. This container is being filled with water at a rate of 7 cubic feet per minute. At the same time, water is leaking from the bottom of the container at a rate of 2 cubic feet per minute. If the container is exactly half filled at 9:00 a.m., at what time will the container begin to overflow?
- A.
9:55 a.m.
- B.
10:00 a.m.
- C.
10:11 a.m.
- D.
10:40 a.m.
- E.
12:20 p.m.
Correct Answer
D. 10:40 a.m.Explanation
The container is being filled at a rate of 7 cubic feet per minute and leaking at a rate of 2 cubic feet per minute. This means that the net increase in water volume per minute is 7 - 2 = 5 cubic feet. Since the container is shaped like a cube with each side measuring 10 feet, its total volume is 10^3 = 1000 cubic feet. Half of this volume is 1000/2 = 500 cubic feet. Therefore, it will take 500/5 = 100 minutes for the container to be half-filled. Since it started filling at 9:00 a.m., the container will be half-filled at 9:00 a.m. + 100 minutes = 10:40 a.m., which is the time when it will begin to overflow.Rate this question:
