  1. A rectangular room measures 24 ft by 18 ft with a ceiling height of 10 ft. What is the total volume of the room?

    Answer: 4,320 cu ft

    24 × 18 × 10 = 4,320 cubic feet.

    Answer: 400 sq ft

    In 12 minutes the fire doubles 3 times: 50 × 2³ = 50 × 8 = 400 sq ft.

  6. A firefighter's schedule is 24 hours on duty followed by 48 hours off. How many days does the firefighter work in a 30-day month?

    Answer: 10 days

    One cycle = 3 days; 30 ÷ 3 = 10 on-duty days.

  7. A nozzle discharges 95 gpm. A backup nozzle discharges 60 gpm. What is the combined discharge rate?

    Answer: 155 gpm

    95 + 60 = 155 gpm.
