  1. A building inspector completes 6 inspections every 4 hours. At this rate, how many inspections will be completed during a 10-hour shift?

    Answer: 15

    Rate = 6/4 = 1.5 inspections/hour; 1.5 × 10 = 15 inspections.

  2. A city vehicle travels 312 miles on 12 gallons of fuel. What is the vehicle's fuel efficiency in miles per gallon?

    Answer: 26 mpg

    312 ÷ 12 = 26 miles per gallon.

  3. An agency's headcount increased from 240 to 300 employees. What is the percentage increase in headcount?

    Answer: 25%

    (300 − 240) ÷ 240 × 100 = 60 ÷ 240 × 100 = 25%.

  4. A supply room has 480 reams of paper. Each department receives 32 reams per month. If there are 6 departments, how many months will the supply last?

    Answer: 2.5

    6 departments × 32 reams = 192 reams/month; 480 ÷ 192 = 2.5 months.

  5. A contractor is paid $3,600 for completing a job in 9 days with 4 workers. If the job instead requires 6 workers for the same duration, what will the total payment be?

    Answer: $5,400

    Per-worker daily rate = $3,600 ÷ (9 × 4) = $100; 6 workers × 9 days × $100 = $5,400.

  6. A city block is rectangular, measuring 660 feet long and 330 feet wide. What is the area of the block in square feet?

    Answer: 217,800 sq ft

    660 × 330 = 217,800 square feet.
