There are triple the apples as oranges in a basket. Also in the basket are 1/2 as many lemons than oranges. There are 45 pieces of fruit. How many oranges are there?
- A.
10 oranges
- B.
9 oranges
- C.
8 oranges
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. 10 orangesExplanation
Let's assume the number of oranges in the basket is x. According to the given information, there are triple the number of apples as oranges, so the number of apples is 3x. Additionally, there are 1/2 as many lemons as oranges, so the number of lemons is (1/2)x. The total number of fruits in the basket is given as 45. Therefore, the equation can be formed as x + 3x + (1/2)x = 45. Simplifying this equation gives us 7x = 45, which means x = 45/7. However, since the number of oranges must be a whole number, the closest whole number to 45/7 is 6. So, the correct answer is 10 oranges.Rate this question:

A school is going to give a timed test to students with 15 minutes to complete 9 items. If the school wants to make the test 12 items instead, how much time should be given to keep the same proportion of minutes to items?
- A.
15 minutes
- B.
20 minutes
- C.
22 minutes
- D.
25 minutes
Correct Answer
B. 20 minutesExplanation
If the school wants to make the test 12 items instead of 9, and they want to keep the same proportion of minutes to items, then they should increase the time given accordingly. Since the original test had 15 minutes for 9 items, the proportion is 15/9 minutes per item. To find out how much time should be given for 12 items, we can set up a proportion: 15/9 = x/12. Cross-multiplying, we get 9x = 180. Dividing both sides by 9, we find that x = 20. Therefore, the test should be given 20 minutes to keep the same proportion of minutes to items.Rate this question:

John trades 2 pencils for 22 buttons. If John has 6 more pencils, how many buttons will he have in total if he trades all of his pencils for buttons?
- A.
44 buttons
- B.
66 buttons
- C.
88 buttons
- D.
110 buttons
Correct Answer
C. 88 buttonsExplanation
If John trades 2 pencils for 22 buttons, we can determine the ratio of pencils to buttons as 2:22. This means that for every 2 pencils, John receives 22 buttons. If John has 6 more pencils, he would have a total of 8 pencils. Using the ratio, we can calculate that John would receive (22/2) * 8 = 88 buttons if he trades all of his pencils. Therefore, the correct answer is 88 buttons.Rate this question:

John has one bag of marbles and one bag of rocks. A bag of marbles has 4 marbles. A bag of rocks has 8 rocks. How many more bags of marbles are needed until John's marbles double his number of rocks if his number of rocks remains 8?
- A.
1 more bag of marbles are needed
- B.
2 more bags of marbles are needed
- C.
3 more bags of marbles are needed
- D.
4 more bags of marbles are needed
Correct Answer
C. 3 more bags of marbles are neededExplanation
John currently has 8 rocks and wants to double that number. Since a bag of marbles has 4 marbles, he needs to have 16 marbles in order to double the number of rocks. Since he already has 4 marbles, he needs an additional 12 marbles. Since each bag of marbles has 4 marbles, he needs 3 more bags of marbles to reach the desired number of marbles.Rate this question:

John is 18 today and his dad is twice his age. When John is 27, how old will his dad be then?
- A.
33 years old
- B.
36 years old
- C.
45 years old
- D.
54 years old
Correct Answer
C. 45 years oldExplanation
John is 18 years old today, and his dad is twice his age. Therefore, his dad's current age is:
18×2 = 36 years old
In 9 years, John will be 27 years old (since 27 - 18 = 9). Since the same amount of time will have passed for his dad, we need to add 9 years to his dad's current age:
36+9= 45 years oldRate this question:

It takes 49 minutes to heat water to 350 degrees when the initial temperature of the water is room temperature of 25 degrees. If the water heats evenly over time, how many minutes will it take for the water to reach 200 degrees?
- A.
35.5 minutes
- B.
26.5 minutes
- C.
22 minutes
- D.
25 minutes
Correct Answer
B. 26.5 minutesExplanation
To determine how many minutes it will take for the water to reach 200 degrees, we can use a proportion since the heating process is assumed to be constant and linear.
Let's set up the proportion:
(Change in temperature) / (Time taken) = (Change in temperature) / (Time required)
In this case:
(350 degrees - initial temperature) / 49 minutes = (200 degrees - initial temperature) / (time required)
Now, we want to solve for "time required" (the time it takes to reach 200 degrees):
(350 - initial temperature) / 49 = (200 - initial temperature) / (time required)
If the initial temperature is room temperature (around 25 degrees Celsius), you can calculate:
(time required) = (49 * (200 - 25)) / (350 - 25)
(time required) = (49 * 175) / 325
(time required) ≈ 26.5 minutesRate this question:

What number does NOT FIT within the pattern of the numbers: 48, 24, 36, 18, 32, 27, 13.5, 20.25
- A.
32
- B.
18
- C.
13.5
- D.
27
Correct Answer
A. 32Explanation
To determine which number does not fit within the given pattern: 48, 24, 36, 18, 32, 27, 13.5, 20.25, we need to analyze the relationship between the numbers.
Observing the sequence:
48 to 24 is halved (48 / 2 = 24).
24 to 36 looks like a multiplication by 1.5 (24 * 1.5 = 36).
36 to 18 is halved again (36 / 2 = 18).
18 to 32 does not seem to fit a simple half or 1.5 multiplication pattern (18 * 1.5 = 27, not 32).
32 to 27 seems unrelated by simple multiplication or division.
27 to 13.5 is halved (27 / 2 = 13.5).
13.5 to 20.25 is multiplied by 1.5 (13.5 * 1.5 = 20.25).
From this observation, we can see a repeating pattern of halving or multiplying by 1.5. However, the transitions from:
18 to 32
32 to 27
do not fit this halving or 1.5 multiplication pattern. Among these, 32 stands out particularly as not fitting any logical continuation from the preceding number 18 or to the following number 27 based on the recurring operations in other parts of the sequence.
Hence, the number 32 does not fit within the established pattern of the given sequence.

There are 4 people that form a company and invest, collectively, $86,000 into the company. They will split the profits in the proportion they invested, which is as follows: A =$2,000, B =$4,000, C = $20,000 and D = $60,000. If the company has $430,000 profit to split, how much does A get?
- A.
$7,000
- B.
$8,000
- C.
$9,000
- D.
$10,000
Correct Answer
D. $10,000Explanation
To find out how much A gets, we need to calculate the proportion of A's investment out of the total investment and then multiply it by the total profit. A's investment is $2,000 out of the total investment of $86,000, which is 2,000/86,000 = 0.0233. Multiplying this proportion by the total profit of $430,000 gives us 0.0233 * 430,000 = $10,009. Since we are asked for the closest whole number, A gets $10,000.Rate this question:
