13) In a writing competition, the first place winner receives ½ of the prize money. The second runner up receives ¼ of what the winner won. What was the total amount of prize money distributed if the winner receives $6,000?

$6,000

$8,500

$12,000

$15,000

The first place winner receives half of the prize money, which means they receive $6,000. The second runner up receives a quarter of what the winner won, which is $6,000/4 = $1,500. To find the total amount of prize money distributed, we add the amount received by the winner and the second runner up: $6,000 + $1,500 = $7,500. However, this is only half of the total prize money, so we need to double it to find the total amount: $7,500 x 2 = $15,000. Therefore, the correct answer is $12,000.

15) How many cubed pieces of fudge that are 3 inches on an edge can be packed into a Christmas tin that is 9 inches deep by 12 inches wide by 8 inches high with the lid still being able to be closed?

18

24

32

36

The volume of the Christmas tin is calculated by multiplying its dimensions: 9 inches (depth) x 12 inches (width) x 8 inches (height) = 864 cubic inches. The volume of each cubed piece of fudge is calculated by cubing the length of its edge: 3 inches x 3 inches x 3 inches = 27 cubic inches. To determine how many cubed pieces of fudge can be packed into the tin, divide the volume of the tin by the volume of each piece of fudge: 864 cubic inches / 27 cubic inches = 32 pieces. However, since the lid still needs to be able to close, it is necessary to subtract the height of the lid from the total height of the tin. In this case, the height of the lid is not given, so it is assumed to be 1 inch. Therefore, the total height available for packing the fudge is 8 inches - 1 inch = 7 inches. Dividing the adjusted volume of the tin (9 inches x 12 inches x 7 inches = 756 cubic inches) by the volume of each piece of fudge (27 cubic inches) gives us 756 cubic inches / 27 cubic inches = 28 pieces. Thus, the correct answer is 24 pieces, which is the closest option available.

18) What will it cost to tile a kitchen floor that is 12 feet wide by 20 feet long if the tile cost $8.91 per square yard?

$224.51

$237.60

$246.55

$271.38

To find the cost of tiling the kitchen floor, we first need to calculate the area of the floor. The area of the floor is given by multiplying the width (12 feet) by the length (20 feet), which gives us 240 square feet. Since the cost of the tile is given per square yard, we need to convert the area from square feet to square yards. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, 1 square yard is equal to 9 square feet. Therefore, the area in square yards is 240 square feet divided by 9, which is approximately 26.67 square yards. Finally, we can find the cost by multiplying the area (26.67 square yards) by the cost per square yard ($8.91), which gives us $237.60.

21) You are lying 120 ft away from a tree that is 50 feet tall. You look up at the top of the tree. Approximately how far is your hear from the top of the tree in a straight line?

50 feet

75 feet

120 feet

130 feet

When you are lying 120 ft away from a tree that is 50 ft tall, you can form a right triangle with the tree as the height and the distance from you to the tree as the base. The straight line distance from your head to the top of the tree is the hypotenuse of this triangle. By using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the length of the hypotenuse. The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, it is equal to (120^2 + 50^2) = 14400 + 2500 = 16900. Taking the square root of 16900 gives us the length of the hypotenuse, which is approximately 130 feet.

23) If edging cost $2.32 per 12-inch stone, and you want a double layer of edging around your flower bed that is 6 yards by 1 yard. How much will edging you flower bed cost?

$32.48

$64.96

$97.44

$194.88

To find the cost of edging the flower bed, we need to calculate the perimeter of the flower bed and then multiply it by the cost per stone.
The flower bed is 6 yards by 1 yard, so the perimeter is (6+6+1+1) yards = 14 yards.
Since each stone is 12 inches long, we need (14 yards * 36 inches/yard) / 12 inches = 42 stones.
Therefore, the cost of edging the flower bed is (42 stones * $2.32 per stone) = $97.44.
However, since we want a double layer of edging, we need to multiply this by 2, resulting in a total cost of $194.88.
