dozen eggs, and each successive cake needed twice as many eggs as the previous cake. How
many eggs were used to make the fourth cake? - Correct Answer- c) 96
The correct answer is C.
1st Cake = 1(12),

The local high school had 1,000 bottles of water on hand. The school issued 1/4 of the supply
to the 9th grade, 1/5 of the supply to the 10th grade, and 2/5 of the supply to the 11th grade.
How many bottles remained for the 12th grade? - Correct Answer- d) 150
The correct answer is D.
1,000 1/4 + 1,000 1/5 + 1,000 2/5
250 + 200 + 400 = 850
So, 1,000-850=150 bottles

bicycle. How many bicycles were there? - Correct Answer- d) 44

Many American cars feature speedometers that show kilometers per hour. If you are required
to drive 500 miles, and you know that one kilometer is approximately 5/8 of a mile, how
many kilometers would you cover in that journey? - Correct Answer- b) 800
The correct answer is B. To find how many kilometers are in 500 miles, divide 500 miles by
5/8 (the ratio of miles to kilometers). 5001÷5/8=5001×8/5=800 kilometers.
(1 mile = 1.609)

Six gross of special drawing pencils were purchased for use in a department. If the pencils
were used at the rate of 24 a week, the maximum number of weeks that the 6 gross of pencils
would last is - Correct Answer- d)

24 = 36 weeks' worth of pencils.

A stock clerk had 600 pads on hand. He then issued 3/8 of his supply of pads to Division X,
1/4 to Division Y, and 1/6 to Division Z. The number of pads remaining in stock is - Correct
Answer- c) 125
The correct answer is C.
First, consider that the question describes each fraction, as a fraction of the original total. This
means that we can apply each fraction to the total, then subtract these three numbers from the
total to get the remaining number of pads in stock.
3/8 of 600 is 225.
1/4 of 600 is 150.
1/6 of 600 is 100.
225 + 150 + 100 = 475
475 - 600 = 125
