1) A carpenter is installing carpet in a house. He earns $100 per room. The cost of material is $25 per room and comes directly out of his pay. There are 12 rooms that need carpet. How much money does he earn?

Explanation

Multiply $100 x 12 rooms = $1200
Multiply $25 x 12 rooms = $300
Subtract $300 from $ 1200: 1200-300 = $900

Review: Whole Numbers And Length Measurements - Quiz

This quiz assesses knowledge in whole numbers and length measurements, covering units in metric and standard rulers, practical arithmetic in job contexts, and basic metric system applications. It sharpens practical math skills relevant to everyday and professional scenarios.

2) The metric ruler is divided into which units?

Explanation

The metric ruler is divided into millimeters and centimeters. Millimeters are smaller units of measurement, with each centimeter being divided into 10 millimeters. Centimeters are larger units, with each centimeter representing one-tenth of a meter. This division allows for precise measurements in the metric system, which is widely used in many countries around the world.

3) The standard ruler is divided into which units?

Explanation

The standard ruler is divided into inches and feet. Inches are used for smaller measurements, while feet are used for larger measurements. This allows for precise measurements in both small and large scales.

Submit
4) Which scale is divided into 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 parts?

Explanation

An engineer's scale is divided into 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 parts. This scale is commonly used by engineers and architects to measure and draw accurately scaled diagrams and plans. It allows for precise measurements and calculations in engineering and construction projects.

Submit
5) You can use the metric system to measure length (meters), weight (grams), volume (cubic meter) and ____________?

Explanation

Temperature (celsius)

Submit
6) As a plumber, you get paid $30/hour. Last week you worked 40 hours. How much is your paycheck if $94 and $29 were taken out for taxes?

Explanation

Multiply $30 x 40 hours = $1200
Add $94 and $29 = $123
Subtract: $1200 - $123 = $1077

Submit
7) What is 8 yards converted to inches?

Explanation

8 yards x 36 inch/yard = 288 inches

Submit
8) What is 500 centimeters converted to meters?

Explanation

Multiply: 500 cm x 1m/100cm = 5 meters

Submit
9) A millimeter is what part of a centimeter?

Explanation

A millimeter is a unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to one thousandth of a meter. On the other hand, a centimeter is equal to one hundredth of a meter. Therefore, to find out what part of a centimeter a millimeter is, we need to divide the value of a millimeter by the value of a centimeter. Dividing 1 millimeter by 1 centimeter gives us 1/10, which means that a millimeter is one-tenth or 1/10th of a centimeter.

10) Wire rope can be purchased in rolls of 4,500 feet. On the construction site, you need 15' sections of the wire rope. How many 16 foot sections will 1 roll of wire rope make and how much wire rope will be left over?

Explanation

Divide 4500 by 15 = 281 r4

Submit
11) Which scale is divided into fractions of an inch that equals a foot.

Explanation

The correct answer is Architect's Scale. An architect's scale is a specialized ruler used by architects and designers to make accurate measurements on blueprints and scaled drawings. It is divided into fractions of an inch that represent a foot. This allows architects to easily convert measurements on paper to the actual dimensions of a building or structure. An engineer's scale is also used for measuring, but it is divided differently and is typically used for more technical and precise measurements. A standard ruler, on the other hand, does not have the specific divisions required for measuring in feet and is not commonly used in architectural or engineering work.
