1. A radar is designed to report the track of an aircraft every second. If
this radar reports 30 tracks in one minute, what percentage of the time did
the radar track the aircraft?
A. 3%
B. 30%
C. 40%
D. 50%
ANS 50%
2. *A woman is looking for a bigger square office. She finds an office twice
the area of her current office. If the perimeter of her current office is 88 feet,
how many square feet is the new office?
A. 176 sq ft.
B. 352 sq. ft.
C. 968 sq. ft.
D. 1,200 sq. ft.
ANS 88ft/4 22ft x
22=484
484ft is the current office
,twice the size of her current
office 484ft x 2= 968 ft
3. *if the perimeter of a square garden is 84 feet, what is the area of the
garden
A. 21 sq ft
B. 84 sq ft
C. 336 sq ft
D. 441 sq ft
ANS - square has 4 sides
- 84/4= 21
- Area of a square= a^2
- 21^2= 441 sq ft

6. A train goes twice as fast downhill as it can go uphill, and 2/3 as fast
uphill as it can go on level ground. If it goes 120 mph downhill, how long will
it take
, to travel 45 miles on flat land?
A. 1/2 hour
B. 2/3 hour
C. 1-1/2 hours
D 2 hours
ANS speed uphill=120/2=60
speed level=3/2 * uphill=90
speed
downhill=120 on
flat land,
d=45=90*t t=1/2
