  1. A worker processes mail at 9 trays per hour. How many trays in a 7.5-hour shift?

    Answer: 67.5

    9 × 7.5 = 67.5 trays.

  2. Which number does NOT belong in the group: 3, 9, 15, 22, 27?

    All are multiples of 3 except 22.

  3. A parcel costs $8.40 to ship. With a 25% discount, what is the new price?

    Answer: $6.30

    25% of $8.40 is $2.10, so $8.40 − $2.10 = $6.30.

  4. If two carriers split a 36-mile route so one covers twice as much as the other, how many miles does the longer portion cover?

    Answer: 24 miles

    The route splits into 3 parts (1 + 2), so 36 ÷ 3 = 12, and the longer is 2 × 12 = 24 miles.

  5. A bin holds letters in 8 rows of 15 letters each. How many letters fit in the bin?

    Answer: 120

    8 × 15 = 120 letters.

  6. A carrier walks 0.6 mile per loop and completes 12 loops. How far did the carrier walk?

    Answer: 7.2 miles

    0.6 × 12 = 7.2 miles.

  7. If a shift starts at 6:00 AM and a 30-minute break is taken after every 3 hours, how many breaks occur in an 8-hour shift?

    Answer: 2

    Breaks fall at the 3-hour and 6-hour marks, giving 2 breaks within 8 hours.
