    If seven erasers equal two pencils in length, how many pencils would equal 28 erasers?

    • Twelve

    • Six

    • Five Hours

    • Seven Hours

    • Six Hours

    • Four Hours

    Correct Answer
    A. Six Hours
    Explanation
    To find the time it takes to drive a certain distance, we can use the formula: time = distance / speed. In this case, the distance is 420 miles and the speed is 70 miles per hour.

    How long will it take a boy to save $280 for a video game if he makes $7 a week delivering papers?

    • 10 Months

    • 2 Years

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 Months
    Explanation
    The boy makes $7 a week delivering papers. To find out how long it will take him to save $280, we can divide $280 by $7. This calculation gives us 40, meaning it will take the boy 40 weeks to save $280. Since there are 4 weeks in a month, dividing 40 by 4 gives us 10 months. Therefore, it will take the boy 10 months to save $280 for the video game.

    If Bob had 30 minutes for TV and saw a game for 7 minutes and Lost for 9, how much did he have left?

    • 16 Minutes

    Explanation
    Bob initially had 30 minutes for TV. He watched a game for 7 minutes and lost for 9 minutes. To find out how much time he had left, we subtract the time he spent from the starting time. Therefore, Bob had 30 - 7 - 9 = 14 minutes left.

    If your car gets 20 miles per gallon, how many full gallons of gas do you need to drive 273 miles?

    • 15

    • 13

    • 12

    • 14

    Correct Answer
    A. 14
    Explanation
    To find the number of gallons of gas needed to drive 273 miles, we divide the total distance by the car's mileage. In this case, the car gets 20 miles per gallon, so we divide 273 by 20. The result is approximately 13.65. Since we can't have a fraction of a gallon, we round up to the nearest whole number, which is 14. Therefore, you would need 14 full gallons of gas to drive 273 miles.
