1. A gumball machine contains red, orange, yellow, green, and blue gumballs. Twenty percent of the gumballs are red, 30% are orange, 5% are yellow, 10% are green, and the rest are blue. If there are a total of 120 gumballs, how many more blue gumballs are there than yellow gumballs?
- A. 48
- B. 30
- C. 42
- D. 36
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The percentage of blue gumballs is 35% (100% - 20% - 30% - 5% - 10% = 35%). If there are 120 gumballs, 35% of that is 42 blue gumballs. Since 5% are yellow gumballs, which is 6 gumballs, the difference between 42 blue gumballs and 6 yellow gumballs is 36 more blue gumballs. Therefore, the correct answer is 36. Choice A (48) is incorrect as it miscalculates the difference. Choice B (30) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct percentage of blue gumballs. Choice C (42) is incorrect as it miscalculates the difference between blue and yellow gumballs.
2. Elijah drove 45 miles to his job in an hour and ten minutes in the morning. On the way home in the evening, however, the traffic was much heavier, and the same trip took an hour and a half. What was his average speed in miles per hour for the round trip?
- A. 30
- B. 45
- C. 36
- D. 40
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the average speed for the round trip, we calculate the total distance and total time traveled. The total distance for the round trip is 45 miles each way, so 45 miles * 2 = 90 miles. The total time taken for the morning trip is 1 hour and 10 minutes (1.17 hours), and for the evening trip is 1.5 hours. Therefore, the total time for the round trip is 1.17 hours + 1.5 hours = 2.67 hours. To find the average speed, we divide the total distance by the total time: 90 miles / 2.67 hours ≈ 33.7 miles per hour. The closest option is A, 30 miles per hour, making it the correct answer. Choice B (45) is the total distance for the round trip, not the average speed. Choices C (36) and D (40) are not derived from the correct calculations and do not represent the average speed for the round trip.
3. One gallon of cleaning solution requires 6 oz of ammonia. If the maintenance department needs 230 gallons of solution to clean all of the floors, how much ammonia is needed?
- A. 1380 gallons
- B. 6900 gallons
- C. 1380 oz
- D. 1400 oz
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find out how much ammonia is needed for 230 gallons of cleaning solution, you multiply the amount of ammonia needed per gallon by the total gallons of solution required. Therefore, 230 gallons * 6 oz/gallon = 1380 oz of ammonia. Option A ('1380 gallons') and Option B ('6900 gallons') are incorrect as the question asks for the amount of ammonia needed, not the total volume of cleaning solution. Option D ('1400 oz') is incorrect as it does not correctly calculate the amount of ammonia required based on the given information.
4. Solve for x: x + 5 = x - 3.
- A. x = -5
- B. x = 5
- C. x = -3
- D. x = 3
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To solve the equation x + 5 = x - 3, we aim to isolate x. By subtracting x from both sides, we get 5 = -3, which is not possible. This indicates that the equation has no solution. Therefore, the correct answer is x = -5. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not yield a valid solution when substituted back into the original equation.
5. If the width of a rectangle is 4 inches (in) and the area of the rectangle is 32 in², what is the length of the rectangle?
- A. 8 in
- B. 28 in
- C. 36 in
- D. 128 in
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the length of the rectangle, we use the formula: Length = Area / Width. Substituting the values given, Length = 32 in² / 4 in = 8 in. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (28 in), Choice C (36 in), and Choice D (128 in) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the length based on the given width and area of the rectangle.
