Question 2 of 5
Joe makes $20 an hour and Tim makes $30 an hour. How many more hours than Tim must Joe work to earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours, Tim earns $30 per hour, totaling $120 in 4 hours. Joe earns $20 per hour, so to match Tim's earnings in 4 hours, Joe must work 2 hours more than Tim. Therefore, Joe needs to work 2 hours more than Tim to earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the additional hours Joe needs to work compared to Tim to earn the same amount in 4 hours.
Question 3 of 5
At a comic book store, Robert purchased three comics for $2.65 each. If he paid with a $20 bill, how much change did he receive?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Robert spent a total of $7.95 on three comics ($2.65 each). When he paid with a $20 bill, the change he received can be calculated by subtracting the total cost from the payment amount: $20 - $7.95 = $12.05. Therefore, Robert received $12.05 in change. Choice B ($11.05) is incorrect because it doesn't reflect the correct calculation. Choice C ($10.00) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total cost of the comics. Choice D ($13.50) is incorrect as it overestimates the change Robert received.
Question 4 of 5
How many ounces are in a ton?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 32,000 ounces. A ton is equivalent to 2,000 pounds. Since each pound contains 16 ounces, you can calculate the total number of ounces in a ton by multiplying 2,000 pounds by 16 ounces, which equals 32,000 ounces. Choice B (30,000 ounces), Choice C (35,000 ounces), and Choice D (40,000 ounces) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the number of ounces in a ton based on the conversion of pounds to ounces.
