### Questions 1-30
**Question 1**
144,140 ÷ 12 = ?
A) 12,011 r8
B) 12,010 r7
C) 12,012 r4
D) 12,011 r0
**Correct Answer: A**
,2|Page
**Rationale:** 144,140 ÷ 12 = 12,011 remainder 8. 12 × 12,011 = 144,132,
leaving a remainder of 8. This is a basic division calculation often tested on the
GED Mathematical Reasoning exam .

**Question 2**
At a certain store, loose-leaf paper comes only in packages of 400 sheets. If a
student buys enough paper at this store to fill 3 binders with 150 sheets of paper
each, how many sheets will be left over?
A) 17
B) 50
C) 350
D) 450
**Correct Answer: C**
**Rationale:** 3 × 150 = 450 sheets will be used. Since the paper sells in packages
of 400 sheets, 2 packages are needed, and 2 × 400 = 800. 800 − 450 = 350 sheets
left over . This question tests multiplication, division, and problem-solving skills.

A certain health insurance plan costs $3,000 per year for a family of six. If each
member of the family has $750 in medical expenses in a year, and the plan pays
100% of those expenses, how much will the family save by purchasing the plan?
A) $1,500
B) $2,000
C) $2,500
D) $3,000
**Correct Answer: A**
**Rationale:** Calculate: (6 × $750) − $3,000 = $4,500 − $3,000 = $1,500. The
family saves $1,500 by purchasing the plan . This question tests multi-step
problem-solving with real-world applications.

**Question 4**
If a train travels 270 miles in 3 hours, what is the train's average speed?
A) 60 mph
B) 80 mph
C) 90 mph
D) 100 mph
, 4|Page
**Correct Answer: C**
**Rationale:** d/t = r, so 270/3 = 90 miles per hour. This is a basic rate calculation
(distance ÷ time = speed) . Average speed is a common concept tested on the GED
math exam.

**Question 5**
A company sold a total of $640 in gift boxes. If the gift boxes cost $20 apiece, how
many gift boxes did the company sell?
A) 32
B) 320
C) 660
D) 1,280
**Correct Answer: A**
**Rationale:** c/r = n, so $640/$20 = 32. This is a basic division problem testing
understanding of cost, rate, and quantity relationships .
