Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    If a vehicle is driven 22 miles on Monday, 25 miles on Tuesday, and 19 miles on Wednesday, what is the average number of miles driven each day?

    • A.

      19 miles

    • B.

      21 miles

    • C.

      22 miles

    • D.

      23 miles

    Correct Answer
    C. 22 miles
    Explanation
    The average number of miles driven each day can be calculated by adding up the total number of miles driven (22 + 25 + 19 = 66) and dividing it by the number of days (3). Therefore, the average number of miles driven each day is 22 miles.

    Correct Answer
    D. 35%
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 35%. To find the percentage of videos that are comedies, divide the number of comedy videos (420) by the total number of videos (1,200) and multiply by 100. This gives us (420/1200) * 100 = 35%.

    • D.

      3,200

    Correct Answer
    B. 50
    Explanation
    Alex bought 400 hot dogs for the school picnic, and each package contains 8 hot dogs. To find the total number of packages, we need to divide the total number of hot dogs by the number of hot dogs in each package. Therefore, 400 divided by 8 equals 50. So, Alex bought a total of 50 packages of hot dogs.

    Given the picture above, if gear 1 turns clockwise, which other gear(s) will also turn clockwise?

    • A.

      2 only

    • B.

      3 only

    • C.

      2 and 3

    • D.

      3 and 4

    Correct Answer
    D. 3 and 4
    Explanation
    If gear 1 turns clockwise, it will cause gear 2 to turn clockwise as well, due to their meshing teeth. Gear 2, in turn, will cause gear 3 to turn clockwise, as they are also meshed together. However, gear 4 is not directly connected to gear 1 or 2, so it will not be affected by the clockwise rotation of gear 1. Therefore, the only gears that will turn clockwise are gear 3 and gear 4.
