There are 808 four penny nails in a pound. How many are there in 22 3/4 pounds?
- 17,776
- 18,180
- 18,382
- 18,584
Correct Answer

A. 18,382

Explanation

To find the number of four penny nails in 22 3/4 pounds, we can multiply the number of nails in one pound (808) by the weight in pounds (22) and then add the number of nails in the remaining 3/4 pound. To find the number of nails in 3/4 pound, we can multiply the number of nails in one pound (808) by 3/4. The calculation would be: (808 * 22) + (808 * 3/4) = 17,776 + 606 = 18,382. Therefore, the correct answer is 18,382.

How many 2x4 blocks 22 1/2 inches long can be cut from a 2x4 that is 8 feet long?
- 2
- 4
- 6
- 8
Correct Answer

A. 4

Explanation

The question asks how many 2x4 blocks can be cut from a 2x4 that is 8 feet long. Since each block is 22 1/2 inches long, we need to convert the length of the 2x4 to inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, the 2x4 is 96 inches long. Dividing 96 inches by 22 1/2 inches, we get approximately 4.3. However, since we cannot have a fraction of a block, we round down to the nearest whole number, which is 4. Therefore, 4 blocks can be cut from the 2x4.

- 5 19/32 inches
- 5 15/16 inches
- 6 inches
- 6 19/32 inches
Correct Answer

A. 5 19/32 inches

Explanation

To subtract 3 15/32 inches from 9 1/16, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator for 32 and 16 is 32. Converting 9 1/16 to an improper fraction, we get 145/16. Subtracting 3 15/32 from 145/16 gives us 5 19/32. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 19/32 inches.

- 11 feet and 10 inches
- 11 feet and 11 25/32 inches
Correct Answer

A. 11 feet and 11 25/32 inches

Explanation

To find one-half of 23 feet and 11 9/16 inches, we divide the given measurement by 2.

First, we divide 11 9/16 inches by 2, which equals 5 13/32 inches.

Next, we divide 23 feet by 2, which equals 11 feet and 6 inches.

Therefore, one-half of 23 feet and 11 9/16 inches is 11 feet and 6 inches + 5 13/32 inches, which simplifies to 11 feet and 11 25/32 inches.

- 39 feet and 9 inches
- 40 feet
- 40 feet and 9 inches
- 42 feet and 6 inches
Correct Answer

A. 39 feet and 9 inches

Explanation

The given question asks to add four different measurements in feet and inches. To solve this, we need to add the feet and inches separately. Adding the feet, we get 15 + 5 + 11 + 6 = 37 feet. Then, adding the inches, we get 6 3/4 + 11 5/8 + 5 7/16 + 9 3/16 = 32 inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can convert the 32 inches to feet by dividing it by 12, which gives us 2 feet and 8 inches. Adding the feet and inches together, we get 37 feet + 2 feet = 39 feet and 8 inches. However, since we have 8 inches, which is greater than 12 inches, we can convert it to 1 foot by dividing it by 12. So, the final answer is 39 feet + 1 foot = 40 feet and 9 inches.

Rate this question:

A lot measures 112 feet and 5 inches x 88 feet and 3 inches x 97 feet and 6 inches x 114 feet and 2 inches. What is the distance around the lot?
- 412 feet and 4 inches
- 412 inches and 10 inches
- 414 inches
- 420 inches
Correct Answer

A. 412 feet and 4 inches

Explanation

The distance around the lot can be calculated by adding the measurements of all four sides. Converting the measurements to the same unit (inches), we have:
112 feet and 5 inches = (112 * 12) + 5 = 1349 inches
88 feet and 3 inches = (88 * 12) + 3 = 1059 inches
97 feet and 6 inches = (97 * 12) + 6 = 1170 inches
114 feet and 2 inches = (114 * 12) + 2 = 1378 inches
Adding these measurements together, we get 1349 + 1059 + 1170 + 1378 = 4956 inches. Converting this back to feet and inches, we have 4956 inches = 412 feet and 4 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 412 feet and 4 inches.

What is the perimeter of a square with sides 9 feet and 6 inches long?
- 36 feet and 2 inches
- 38 feet
- 38 feet and 6 inches
- 40 feet
Correct Answer

A. 38 feet

Explanation

The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding up the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the square has sides that are 9 feet and 6 inches long. To find the perimeter, we convert the 6 inches to feet by dividing it by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot), which gives us 0.5 feet. Adding up the lengths of all four sides (9 + 9 + 9 + 0.5), we get a total of 27.5 feet. However, the question asks for the perimeter in feet and inches, so we convert the 0.5 feet back to inches by multiplying it by 12, which gives us 6 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 38 feet.

Rate this question:

Which is greater in inches: 9/16, 5/8, 3/16, 3/4, 47/64 or 1/2?
- 9/16 inch
- 3/4 inch
- 5/8 inch
- 47/64 inch
Correct Answer

A. 3/4 inch

Explanation

To determine which fraction is greater in inches, we need to find a common denominator for all the fractions. The common denominator for 9/16, 5/8, 3/16, 3/4, 47/64, and 1/2 is 64. When we convert each fraction to have a denominator of 64, we get 36/64, 40/64, 12/64, 48/64, 47/64, and 32/64 respectively. Comparing these fractions, we can see that 48/64 (or 3/4) is the greatest.
