  1. A worker earns $14.50 per hour and works 38 hours in a week. What is the gross weekly pay?

    Answer: $551.00

    Multiply $14.50 by 38 hours to get $551.00.

  2. A recipe for 6 servings calls for 3 cups of flour. How many cups are needed for 10 servings?

    Answer: 5 cups

    3 cups ÷ 6 servings = 0.5 cup per serving, times 10 servings equals 5 cups.

  3. A box weighs 2.5 pounds. How much do 16 identical boxes weigh?

    Answer: 40 pounds

    2.5 pounds × 16 boxes = 40 pounds.

  4. An item costs $80 and is marked down 25%. What is the sale price?

    Answer: $60

    25% of $80 is $20, so $80 − $20 = $60.

  5. A tank holds 240 gallons and is filled at 8 gallons per minute. How long to fill it?

    Answer: 30 minutes

    240 gallons ÷ 8 gallons per minute = 30 minutes.

  6. A rectangular room is 12 feet by 9 feet. What is its area?

    Answer: 108 square feet

    Area = length × width = 12 × 9 = 108 square feet.

  7. If 3 workers paint a fence in 6 hours, how long for 1 worker at the same rate?

    Answer: 18 hours

    Total work is 3 × 6 = 18 worker-hours, so 1 worker needs 18 hours.
