How many states are there in the U.S.A? A. 20 B. 30 C. 40 D. 50
There are three times elephants compared to giraffes in the safari. If there is a total of 88 elephants and giraffes, how many elephants are there in the safari? A. 22 B. 31 C. 43 D. 59 E. 66
times as many elephants as there are giraffes, giraffes can be defined as X, and elephants as 3X, and build the following equation: 3X + X = 88 4X = 88 X = 88/ X = 22 As stated above, X stands for the number of giraffes. Thus, there are 22 giraffes. As mentioned in the problem, there are three times as many elephants as there are giraffes in the safari. Thus, to find how many elephants there are in the safari, multiply the number of giraffes by 3: 22 * 3 = 66 66 is the number of elephants in the safari. What is the next number in the series? 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, A. 9 B. 13 C. 10 D. 20 E. 15
made up of two separate subseries that alternate:
from the sale is the selling price minus the cost of purchase, which is $7300- $5500= $1800.If the total profit is $1800 and each shovel accounts for $50 profit, the amount of shovels is 1800/50=36. A car travels at a speed of 85 miles per hour. How far will it travel in 15 minutes? A. 9 miles B. 11 miles C. 13.25 miles D. 21.25 miles E. 22.75 miles
consists of 60 minutes. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes as 15 * 4 = 60. Thus, divide the distance traveled per hour by 4, which is 85/4=21.25. A car dealership sells used cars for $7,000 and new cars for $16,000. If a total of 17 cars were sold for $191,000, how many of the cars sold were used? A. 2 B. 3 C. 5 D. 8
above. First of all, in order to simplify the calculations we can divide all the numbers by a common denominator: 1000, in that way we can get rid of all those annoying zeroes. Now we define the used cars as U (with a price of 7 each) and the new cars as N (with a price of 16 each) Now we can build two equations, the first representing the total price and the second the total amount of cars: a. 7U+16N= b. N+U= 17 So according to the second equation N = 17 - U, and we can now substitute N in the first equation: 7U+16(17-U)=191 ; 7U+272-16U=191 ; 9U=81 ; U=9. 9 used cars were sold. Solving Tip: You could try solving this question by elimination. For starters, since 191 is an odd number and 16 is an even number, then the number of used cars must be odd (even+odd=odd) - which means we can eliminate answers A, D & E. Now that we are left only with B and C, let's try to calculate it for each of these options: . 37 + 16(17-3) = 245, which means we can eliminate B as an answer. . 57 + 16(17-5) = 227, which means we can eliminate C as an answer.
is to JUICE as WHEAT is to BREAD A. Water B. Pitcher C. Supermarket D. Soda
produce juice like wheat is used to produce bread. In addition, both wheat and oranges must be processed to produce the final product. This eliminates answer (A). Does FAQ mean "frequently asked questions"? A. Yes
question". ATTRACTION is the opposite of: A. Disgust B. Inclination C. Fascination D. Inducement
to describe the power of drawing, alluring or enticing while disgust is a word used to describe a feeling of loathing that causes aversion.

How many of the five pairs listed below are exact duplicates? 6845 - 6845 45641 - 45641 987878 - 987788 124555 - 123555 9898547 - 9898745
B. Dirt C. Soap D. Germs

diameter over than 100 times larger than earth, which has a diameter larger than the all the other answers. Sam and Edna have 56 marbles together. Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam. How many marbles does Sam have? A. 8 B. 12 C. 32 D. 46 E. 49
times more marbles than Sam, we can define Sam as X and Edna as 6X, and build the following equation: X+6X=56, therefore X=8. 17 out of 20 lung diseases are curable; what is the percentage of lung diseases that are curable? A. 17% B. 72% C. 85% D. 87% E. 90%
out how much is 17 out of 20 in percentage, we need to reach a denominator of 100 (a percent is simply a fraction with a denominator of 100). In order to do this we multiply the fraction 17/20 by 5 and reach 85/100 which is 85%. AFFLUENT WEALTHY - The meanings of these words are:
(A). Both affluent and wealthy mean having a great deal of resources or money. Therefore, the words are similar in meaning.

If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? All dogs have a brown leg. Barky has a brown leg. Barky is a dog.
Answers A and B can definitely be eliminated as they are too low. Since we only rounded down by 0.05, know that the correct answer will only be slightly larger than 4900. We can therefore conclude with fair certainty that C is the correct answer. An oven can bake 8 pies of thin crust pizza per hour, or 2 pies of deep dish pizza pies per hour. How many hours will it take to prepare an order of 16 thin crust pies and 4 pies of deep dish? A. 4 hours B. 2.5 hours C. 2 hours
Time = work/rate In order to calculate how long it would take to prepare 16 thin crusts, we need to divide 16 by the rate of thin crusts per hour. 16 thin crust pies/8 thin crust pies per hour = 2 hours Similarly, to calculate how long it would take to prepare 4 deep dish pies, we need to divide 4 by the rate of deep dish pies per hour.
4 deep dish pies/2 deep dish pies per hour = 2 hours The number of hours it will take to complete the order is 2 hours + 2 hours = 4 hours John's gross pay for the past month is $4687.24. If $421.78 was deducted from John's gross pay, how much take-home pay did John earn this past month? A. $ 421. B. $ 4265. C. $ 4687.
was $4687.24 and $421.78 was deducted from that amount, John's take-home pay was: $4687.24 - $421.78 = $4265.46. A motorcyclist rode between Flibbertown and Guinevill at a steady pace of 60 miles per hour for 2 hours. After two hours she accelerated to 65 miles per hour for another full hour. What is the distance between those cities? A. 150 miles B. 180 miles C. 165 miles D. 185 miles
solve the question, we need to separate the two stages. The first stage is: the two-hour ride at a rate of 60 mph; the second stage is the one-hour ride at a rate of 65 mph.
an average, we have to know the sum of the individual values, and the number of individuals. We know that there are four different stocks, so the number of individuals is four (Number of individuals). Now, find the sum of the prices of all the stocks (Sum of the individuals' value). We can calculate the sum of the group's value with the average of the values: Sum of all the values = Average Number of Values Let's insert the figures that we know into the formula. Sum of all values = 100 Dollars 4 Sum of all values = 400 Dollars The average of the 4 stock prices is $100, and therefore the sum of the stock prices is $400.
If the value of the Drone stock is $70, we can conclude that the sum of the remaining three stock prices is $330. If the value of three of them is $330, the average price is $110. Quick tip: If an average is provided followed by the number of values, the sum of the values can be calculated. The sum is calculated as follows: Number of values X Average=Sum of the values. The volume of a rectangle prism is 100 cubic inches. Which of the alternatives is its greatest possible length? A. 100 B. 10 C. 20 D. 60
question correctly, we need to understand it. In order to find out the greatest possible size, we have to think in extremes. The volume formula of a rectangular prism is: Length * Width * Depth = Volume. If the volume is already set at 100 cubic inches, we can obtain from the formula the greatest value for length if we set the lowest values for width and depth. Theoretically, both the width and depth may each be 1 inch, and the length 100 inches; thus the correct answer is A. Which THREE of the following words have similar meanings?
