If a runner starts a race at 11:15 and runs for 34 minutes, at what time does he finish?
-
11:39

How much fencing would be needed to enclose a rectangular back yard that is 20 feet by 10 feet?
-
200 Feet
-
30 Feet
-
60 Feet
-
100 Feet
Correct Answer
A. 60 FeetExplanation
To calculate the amount of fencing needed to enclose a rectangular backyard, we need to find the perimeter. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides. In this case, the length is 20 feet and the width is 10 feet. So, the perimeter would be 2 times the length plus 2 times the width, which is (2 * 20) + (2 * 10) = 60 feet. Therefore, 60 feet of fencing would be needed to enclose the backyard.Rate this question:

If a recipe calls for 3/4 cup of flour but you are doubling it, how much flour do you need?
-
1 1/2 Cups
-
2/3 Cup
-
3 Cups
-
3/8 Cup
Correct Answer
A. 1 1/2 CupsExplanation
If a recipe calls for 3/4 cup of flour and you are doubling it, you need to multiply 3/4 by 2. This can be done by multiplying the numerators (3) and the denominators (4) separately. Multiplying 3 by 2 gives 6, and multiplying 4 by 2 gives 8. Therefore, the amount of flour needed when doubling the recipe is 6/8 cup. Simplifying this fraction gives 3/4 cup, which is equal to 1 1/2 cups.Rate this question:

If you buy groceries 8 times a month and spend about $60 each time, how much is that per month?
-
575
-
680
-
480
-
800
Correct Answer
A. 480Explanation
If you buy groceries 8 times a month and spend about $60 each time, you can calculate the total amount spent per month by multiplying the number of times you buy groceries (8) by the amount spent each time ($60). Therefore, the total amount spent per month would be 8 * $60 = $480.Rate this question:

If you pay five cents per minute for long distance calls, how much will 90 minutes of calls cost?
-
1.4
-
9.5
-
7
-
4.5
Correct Answer
A. 4.5Explanation
If you pay five cents per minute for long distance calls, the cost of 90 minutes of calls can be calculated by multiplying the cost per minute (5 cents) by the number of minutes (90). This can be done as follows: 5 cents/minute * 90 minutes = 450 cents. Since there are 100 cents in a dollar, the cost of 90 minutes of calls is $4.50. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.5.Rate this question:

If Chris got 22, 26, and 24 points in his last three games, what is his average of points per game?
-
26
-
24
-
72
-
20
Correct Answer
A. 24Explanation
Chris got 22, 26, and 24 points in his last three games. To find the average, we add up the points and divide by the number of games played. Adding 22, 26, and 24 gives us a total of 72. Since Chris played 3 games, we divide 72 by 3 to find the average. Therefore, his average points per game is 24.Rate this question:

If a recipe calls for 20 quarts of milk, how many two-gallon jugs of milk should I purchase?
-
Nine
-
12
-
Six
-
Three
Correct Answer
A. ThreeExplanation
To find the number of two-gallon jugs of milk needed, we need to convert the 20 quarts of milk into gallons. Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, 20 quarts is equal to 5 gallons. Each two-gallon jug can hold 2 gallons, so we divide 5 gallons by 2 gallons per jug. The result is 2.5, but since we can't purchase a fraction of a jug, we round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, we need to purchase three two-gallon jugs of milk.Rate this question:
