GED TEXAS MATH PRACTICE TEST 1
QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE CORRECT
ANSWERS
10 people can paint a building in 5 days. Each person paints 1/10 of the building in 5 days. In 5 days 7
people would paint 7 × 1/10 of the building In 5 days 7 people would paint 7/10 of the building. - answer
✔✔-10 people can paint a building in 5 days. If each person paints as quickly as the others then how
much of the building could 7 people paint in 5 days?
3.25 feet = 1 meter
1 foot = 1÷3.25 meters
21 feet = 21×1÷3.25 = 6.4615 meters - answer ✔✔-How many meters are there in 21 feet?
y =15 - 3x and y = 0
Hence 15 - 3x = 0
Hence 3x = 15 x = 5 - answer ✔✔-What is the x value such that y =15 - 3x and y = 0?
If 1/4, 2/3, 4/7, 1/2 are converted to decimals we get 0.25, 0.6666...., 0.571....., 0.5 then the correct
order is obvious
or
If 1/4, 2/3, 4/7, 1/2 are converted to fractions with a common denominator 21/84, 56/84, 48/84, 42/84
then the correct order is obvious. - answer ✔✔-Put these four fractions in order from smallest to
largest: 1/4, 2/3, 4/7, 1/2
The distance between numbers can be found by using absolute values (|a| or abs(a)).
The distance between these numbers is abs(-3/7 − -2/3 )
= abs(-(3/7 -2/3))
