1. If 8 - x = 4, and 10 + y = 12, then x - y = _____ ?

Explanation

Given that 8 - x = 4, we can solve for x by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation, which gives us -x = -4. Dividing both sides by -1, we find that x = 4. Similarly, we can solve the equation 10 + y = 12 by subtracting 10 from both sides, resulting in y = 2. Finally, we can find x - y by subtracting 2 from 4, which gives us 2. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.

Submit
6. Christopher is nine times the age of his twin 4-year old sons. How old is Christopher ?

Explanation

Christopher is nine times the age of his twin 4-year old sons. This means that if we multiply the age of the sons by 9, we will get Christopher's age. Since the sons are 4 years old, 4 multiplied by 9 is 36. Therefore, Christopher is 36 years old.

Submit
7. Kurt has four boxes. He wants to use the box with the smallest volume. Which box should Kurt use ?

Explanation

The box with the smallest volume is the one with dimensions 2" high X 3" wide X 4" long. This can be determined by calculating the volume of each box using the formula length x width x height. The volume of the first box is 2 x 3 x 4 = 24 cubic inches. The volume of the second box is 2 x 4 x 5 = 40 cubic inches. The volume of the third box is 3 x 4 x 5 = 60 cubic inches. The volume of the fourth box is 4 x 5 x 6 = 120 cubic inches. Therefore, the box with dimensions 2" high X 3" wide X 4" long has the smallest volume.

9. Rebecca, Ian, and Clare were driving at the same speed. It took Rebecca 20 minutes to drive 15 miles. How long did it take Ian to drive 30 miles ?

Explanation

Since Rebecca and Ian were driving at the same speed, it can be assumed that their speed was constant. Rebecca took 20 minutes to drive 15 miles, which means she was driving at a speed of 15 miles/20 minutes or 0.75 miles per minute. Therefore, if Ian had to drive 30 miles, it would take him 30 miles / 0.75 miles per minute, which equals 40 minutes.

Submit
10. The school bus can hold 50 children. Which two classes can use the school bus for their field trip ?

Explanation

The school bus can hold 50 children. Since the first class has 14 children and the second class has 32 children, the total number of children is 14 + 32 = 46, which is less than the capacity of the bus. Therefore, these two classes can use the school bus for their field trip.

Submit
17. The O'Malley's have a rectanglar pool that is 16' long and 8' wide. Their next-door neighbors want to build a congruent pool. What measurements will the neighbor's pool have ?

Explanation

The O'Malley's pool is rectangular and measures 16' long and 8' wide. The question asks for the measurements of the neighbor's pool, which needs to be congruent to the O'Malley's pool. Congruent means that the two pools will have the same shape and size. Therefore, the neighbor's pool will also be rectangular and have the same length as the O'Malley's pool, which is 16', and the same width as the O'Malley's pool, which is 8'. So, the neighbor's pool will have measurements of 8' x 16'.

Submit

22. Jennifer and Jose each swam five laps in 15 minutes. At the same rate of speed, how long would they need in order to swim 35 laps?

Explanation

If Jennifer and Jose each swam five laps in 15 minutes, this means that they swim at a rate of one lap every three minutes. To find out how long they would need to swim 35 laps, we can multiply the rate by 35. One lap every three minutes multiplied by 35 laps equals 105 minutes. Therefore, the correct answer is 105 minutes.

Submit
23. Look at this series: 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, .... What number comes next ?

Explanation

The pattern in the series is that each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2 and then subtracting 1. Starting with 1, we have 1*2-1=1, 1*2-1=3, 3*2-1=7, and so on. Therefore, the next number in the series would be 63*2-1=127.

Submit
24. Which of the following is equal to two-thirds?

Explanation

The given answer, 10/15, is equal to two-thirds because when simplified, both fractions reduce to the same value. By dividing the numerator and denominator of 10/15 by their greatest common divisor, which is 5, we get 2/3. Therefore, the two fractions are equivalent.

Submit
26. Twenty students brought animals to school for pet day. Eight students brought dogs, four students brought birds, two brought cats, and the rest brought other animals. What fraction of the students brought other animals?

Explanation

Out of the twenty students, eight brought dogs, four brought birds, and two brought cats. This means that a total of 8 + 4 + 2 = 14 students brought either dogs, birds, or cats. Therefore, the remaining students, which is 20 - 14 = 6 students, brought other animals. To find the fraction, we divide the number of students who brought other animals (6) by the total number of students (20), resulting in 6/20. Simplifying this fraction gives us 3/10, which is the correct answer.

Submit
27. In a grocery cart, there is an equal number of vegetables, fruits, and breads. How many items could be in the cart ?

Explanation

Cecile received $10 as an allowance. She spent $1.15 on ice cream and $3.49 on a magazine. To find out how much she has left, we need to subtract the total amount she spent from her initial allowance. $10 - $1.15 - $3.49 = $5.36. Therefore, Cecile has $5.36 left.

Submit
31. Rover's dog food costs $19.85 for a 20-pound bag. Trixie's cat food costs $9.24 for a 10-pound bag. Which costs more?

Explanation

One bag of dog food costs more than two bags of cat food because the price of the dog food is $19.85 for a 20-pound bag, while the price of the cat food is $9.24 for a 10-pound bag. Therefore, the cost per pound of the dog food is higher than the cost per pound of the cat food.

Submit
32. In a semester of 40 school days, Mrs. Alvarez was out sick twice. What percent of the time was she out sick ?

Explanation

Mrs. Alvarez was out sick twice in a semester of 40 school days. To find the percentage, we divide the number of days she was out sick (2) by the total number of school days (40) and multiply by 100. This gives us (2/40) * 100 = 5 percent. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 percent.

Submit
33. Darby was making a fruit smoothie. The ingredients included 15 percent yogurt, 40 percent ice, and 10 percent bananas. The only other thing she put in was frozen strawberries. What fractional part of the smoothie was made up of strawberries ?

Explanation

The correct answer is 7/20. This can be determined by adding up the percentages of the ingredients in the smoothie. The yogurt, ice, and bananas make up a total of 15% + 40% + 10% = 65%. Since the remaining 35% must be the frozen strawberries, this means that the strawberries make up 35% of the smoothie. To express this as a fraction, we can write it as 35/100, which can be simplified to 7/20.

Submit
34. Which of the following numbers is NOT a prime factor of 90 ?

Explanation

A prime factor of a number is a prime number that divides the given number without leaving a remainder. In this case, 2, 3, and 5 are prime factors of 90 because they divide 90 evenly. However, 9 is not a prime factor of 90 because it is not a prime number and it does not divide 90 evenly. Therefore, 9 is the correct answer as it is the only number among the given options that is not a prime factor of 90.

Submit
35. Casey makes a 30 percent profit for every sale she makes selling cosmetics. If she sells $300 worth of cosmetics, how much money will she make ?

Explanation

If Casey makes a 30 percent profit for every sale she makes selling cosmetics, it means that she earns an additional 30 percent of the sale price as profit. So, if she sells $300 worth of cosmetics, her profit would be 30% of $300, which is $90. Therefore, Casey will make $90.
