  1. A fire hose delivers water at 125 gallons per minute. How many gallons are delivered in 36 minutes?

    Answer: 4,500 gallons

    125 × 36 = 4,500 gallons.

  2. A building has 4 floors, each with 8 rooms. If 3 rooms on each of 2 floors are affected by smoke, what percentage of all rooms are smoke-affected?

    Answer: 18.75%

    6 affected rooms out of 32 total rooms = 6/32 = 18.75%.

  3. A ladder extends 24 feet and is placed at a 3:4 ratio of horizontal distance to vertical height. What is the horizontal distance from the building?

    Answer: 18 feet

    Using the ratio 3:4, if height is 24 ft, horizontal = (3/4) × 24 = 18 feet.

  4. A fire station responds to 48 calls in one week. If 25% are false alarms, how many are actual emergencies?

    Answer: 36

    25% of 48 = 12 false alarms; 48 − 12 = 36 actual emergencies.

  5. A tanker truck holds 2,500 gallons of water. If 375 gallons are used at the first scene, what fraction of the tank remains?

    Answer: 43/50

    Remaining = 2,125 gallons; 2,125/2,500 = 17/20, but simplified: 2125/2500 = 43/50.

  6. If firefighter gear weighs 65 lbs and a firefighter carries an additional 40 lbs of equipment, what is the total load as a percentage of a 150 lb body weight?

    Answer: 66.7%

    Total load = 105 lbs; 105/150 × 100 = 70%.
