An oven can bake 8 pies of thin crust pizza per hour, or 2 pies of deep dish pizza pies per hour. How many hours will it take to prepare an order of 16 thin crust pies and 4 pies of deep dish? A. 4 hours B. 2.5 hours C. 2 hours D. 1 hours
The correct answer is (A). Time = work/rate In order to calculate how long it would take to prepare 16 thin crusts, we need to divide 16 by the rate of thin crusts per hour. 16 thin crust pies/8 thin crust pies per hour = 2 hours Similarly, to calculate how long it would take to prepare 4 deep dish pies, we need to divide 4 by the rate of deep dish pies per hour. 4 deep dish pies/2 deep dish pies per hour = 2 hours The number of hours it will take to complete the order is 2 hours + 2 hours = 4 hours

The correct answer is (D). An hour consists of 60 minutes. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes as 15 * 4 = 60. Thus, divide the distance traveled per hour by 4, which is 85/4=21.25.
If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? Fair haired dogs live longer than black haired ones. Rocco is a fair haired dog. Rocco will live longer than Bonzo. A. Yes B. No C. Uncertain

What is the following number in the series? 0.18 -- 0.36 -- 0.72 -- ? -- 2.88 A. 0.9 B. 1.26 C. 1.44 D. 1.62
The correct answer is (C). Each term is double the previous term. 0.18 x 2 = 0.36 0.36 x 2 = 0.72 0.72 x 2 = 1.44 1.44 x 2 = 2.88
17 out of 20 lung diseases are curable; what is the percentage of lung diseases that are curable? A. 17% B. 72% C. 85% D. 87% E. 90% F. None of these
The correct answer is (C). In order to find out how much is 17 out of 20 in percentage, we need to reach a denominator of 100 (a percent is simply a fraction with a denominator of 100). In order to do this we multiply the fraction 17/20 by 5 and reach 85/100 which is 85%.
If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? All dogs have a brown leg. Barky has a brown leg. Barky is a dog. A. True B. False C. Uncertain

The volume of a rectangle prism is 100 cubic inches. Which of the alternatives is its greatest possible length? A. 100 B. 10 C. 20 D. 60 E. 50
The correct answer is (A). In order to answer the question correctly, we need to understand it. In order to find out the greatest possible size, we have to think in extremes. The volume formula of a rectangular prism is: Length * Width * Depth = Volume. If the volume is already set at 100 cubic inches, we can obtain from the formula the greatest value for length if we set the lowest values for width and depth. Theoretically, both the width and depth may each be 1 inch, and the length 100 inches; thus the correct answer is A.
Which THREE of the following words have similar meanings? A. Rapidly B. Exceedingly C. Hastily D. Eventually E. Swiftly
The correct answers are: (A) rapidly, (C) hastily, and (E) swiftly. All three words are adverbs that mean "quickly." "Exceedingly" does not belong because it means "extremely." "Eventually" is not related to speed but to chronological order; therefore, it does not belong.

The correct answer is (B). 25% equals one quarter and a quarter of 1200 is 1200/4=300. Therefore, an addition of a quarter to 1200 equals 1200+300=1500.
Jade is 9 years older than Rose. In 4 years' time, Jade's age will be double Rose's age. What are their ages today? A. Jade is 5 years old and Rose is 14 years old B. Jade is 14 years old and Rose is 5 years old C. Jade is 2 years old and Rose is 11 years old D. Jade is 10 years old and Rose is 1 year old E. Cannot be determined
The correct answer is (B). All the information given is based on the relation between Jade's age and Rose's age. Let's denote Jade's age by X and Rose's age by Y. "Jade is 9 years older than Rose " - we can translate this information into an equation. X = Y + 9 Unfortunately, an equation with two variables is not solvable unless we have another equation. "In 4 years' time, Jade's age will be double Rose's age" - the second sentence also represents a relation. It means that in 4 years Jade's age will be X+4 and will be double Rose's age, which will be Y+4. Look at the equation below: X + 4 = 2 (Y + 4) Now we have two different equations with 2 variables. The first variable (X) is isolated in the first equation so we can insert its value in the second equation by denoting X as an expression of Y. (Y + 9) + 4 = 2(Y + 4) (Y + 9) + 4 = 2Y + 8 Y + 13 = 2Y + 8 Y = 5 Another method: Is understanding the relation between the ages too difficult? You can't convert them into equations properly? There is another way to solve this question without all those calculations. The question asks about their ages, and the alternatives offer different ages to choose from. We do not need to try and find the answers ourselves because one of the answers is correct (and if not, the alternative "Cannot be determined" is correct). All we have to do is to check which of the values from the answers fits into the right terms that the question states. We need to find two different ages, with a 9-year gap between them. Furthermore, Jade has to be the older one. The only answers which fit are B and D. How can we determine which one of them is the correct answer? The second relation between the ages will help. In 4 years Jade will be twice as old as Rose. Answer B is correct because if Jade is now 14 and Rose is 5, in 4 years' time Jade will be 18 and Rose will be 9. Solving tip: 18 is twice as much as 9 so this can be the right answer. Although it fits the information the answer "Cannot be determined" is a trap. Why is that? Because maybe there are two correct answers. If there are, the correct answer is "Cannot be determined." Therefore, we have to check whether answer D fits the terms as well. If it doesn't, the correct answer is B, and if it does the correct answer is E. Answer D contradicts the information, because in 4 years' time Jade will be 14 and Rose will be 5. 5*2 is not 14 and therefore the correct answer is B.
John's gross pay for the past month is $4687.24. If $421.78 was deducted from John's gross pay, how much take-home pay did John earn this past month? A. $ 421.78 B. $ 4265.46 C. $ 4687.24 D. $ 5109.02
The correct answer is (B). If John's gross pay was $4687.24 and $421.78 was deducted from that amount, John's take-home pay was: $4687.24 - $421.78 = $4265.46.
In the stock market, four different stocks have an average price of $100 per stock. The price of a Drone stock is $70. What is the average price of the three other stocks (not including the Drone stock)? A. 107 B. 110 C. 112 D. 117 E. Cannot say
The correct answer is (B). In order to calculate an average, we have to know the sum of the individual values, and the number of individuals. We know that there are four different stocks, so the number of individuals is four (Number of individuals). Now, find the sum of the prices of all the stocks (Sum of the individuals' value). We can calculate the sum of the group's value with the average of the values: Sum of all the values ------------------------ = Average Number of Values Let's insert the figures that we know into the formula. Sum of all values ---------------------- = 100 Dollars 4 Sum of all values = 400 Dollars The average of the 4 stock prices is $100, and therefore the sum of the stock prices is $400. If the value of the Drone stock is $70, we can conclude that the sum of the remaining three stock prices is $330. If the value of three of them is $330, the average price is $110. Quick tip: If an average is provided followed by the number of values, the sum of the values can be calculated. The sum is calculated as follows: Number of values X Average=Sum of the values.
If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? Dave spoke with Sally. Sally spoke with John. Dave did not speak with John. A. Yes B. No C. Uncertain
The correct answer is (C) - It is uncertain whether the last statement is true. The first 2 statements do not tell us anything about Dave talking to John, therefore we cannot know if it is true or not.
If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? Some officers carry a gun. Most officers carry a club. The chances of finding an officer who carries both a gun and a club are high. A. Yes B. No C. Cannot say
The correct answer is (C), cannot say. Although most officers carry a club, we do not know how many of them carry a gun. Therefore, we cannot reach any conclusions about the probability of finding an officer carrying both a gun and a club.
John's monthly salary is $7,000. If John deposits 0.75 of his paycheck into a savings account. How much money does he put in his savings account every month? A. $4,240 B. $4,250 C. $5,250 D. $ 6,250
The correct answer is (C). In order to find how much money he puts in his savings account, we need to find how much is 0.75 of $7,000: (75/100)×7000 = $5,250. Solving Tip: If multiplying 7,000 × 0.75 seems to be a bit too difficult, we can also use estimations and eliminate wrong answer choices. Let's round 0.75 down to 0.70, while keeping in mind that the correct answer must be slightly larger than the result. 7,000×0.70= 7,000×(70/100) =70×70 =4900. Answers A and B can definitely be eliminated as they are too low. Since we only rounded down by 0.05, know that the correct answer will only be slightly larger than 4900. We can therefore conclude with fair certainty that C is the correct answer.
START is the opposite of... A. Source B. Inception C. Conclusion D. Initiation E. Origin
The correct answer is (C). Start means "to begin," so the antonym is conclusion. Inception and origin are synonyms. Source is not related. Therefore, the correct answer is conclusion.
In the following set of words, which word does not belong? A. Dentist B. Economist C. Surgeon D. Layman E. Neuropsychologist
The correct answer is (D). A layman is a word used to describe a person who does not belong to a particular profession while the other words are all different professions.
A motorcyclist rode between Flibbertown and Guinevill at a steady pace of 60 miles per hour for 2 hours. After two hours she accelerated to 65 miles per hour for another full hour. What is the distance between those cities? A. 150 miles B. 180 miles C. 165 miles D. 185 miles E. None of the above
The correct answer is (D). In order to solve the question, we need to separate the two stages. The first stage is: the two-hour ride at a rate of 60 mph; the second stage is the one-hour ride at a rate of 65 mph. Time (hours) Speed Distance Stage 1 3 X 3X Stage 2 ? 2X 3X If we sum up the distance of both stages, we will find the distance between the cities. The first stage is calculated using the formula Time * Speed = Distance: 2 hours X 60 miles per hour=120 miles The second stage is calculated using the same formula: 1 hour X 65 miles per hour=65 miles Therefore, the total distance between the cities is 120 miles + 65 miles = 185 miles.
Arrange the following words to make a complete sentence. What comes just before the word "by?" suitcase by managed the carry to himself Mike A. Himself B. Managed C. Carry D. Suitcase E. To
The correct answer is (D). The sentence should read: "Mike managed to carry the suitcase by himself." Therefore, the word that comes before the word "by" is "suitcase." Solving tip: There is one capitalized word in this sentence and it is "Mike." Therefore, it is the first word in the sentence and it is the subject of the sentence. The following word after a subject will probably be a verb or a "to be" verb, thus the only word which fits afterwards is "managed." In addition, the word that comes after the word "by" has to be the word "himself."
What is the next number in the series? 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___ A. 9 B. 13 C. 10 D. 20 E. 15 F. None of these
The correct answer is (D). This series is made up of two separate subseries that alternate: 1. A series of numbers (the odd terms) that increase by 5 (5, 10, 15). 2. A series of numbers (the even terms) that decrease by 2 (15, 13, 11) The pattern is: 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___ As you can see, the numbers that increase by 5 are bolded, and the numbers that decrease by 2 are underlined. We are missing the seventh number which is an odd term; therefore, it should be greater than the last odd term (the fifth number) by 5. The fifth number is 15. Thus, the answer is 15 + 5 = 20
In the following set of words, which word is different from the others? A. Inflation B. Interest C. Debt D. Budget E. Drought
The correct answer is (E). All of the other answers are closely related to money, while drought is related to the weather/climate. This question is confusing because a drought can bring on financial difficulties to a country, causing inflation and debt, but a drought is simply a period of dry weather.
________ is to JUICE as WHEAT is to BREAD A. Water B. Pitcher C. Supermarket D. Soda E. Orange
The correct answer is (E). An orange is used to produce juice like wheat is used to produce bread. In addition, both wheat and oranges must be processed to produce the final product. This eliminates answer (A).
There are three times elephants compared to giraffes in the safari. If there is a total of 88 elephants and giraffes, how many elephants are there in the safari? A. 22 B. 31 C. 43 D. 59 E. 66 F. None of these
The correct answer is (E). If there are 3 times as many elephants as there are giraffes, giraffes can be defined as X, and elephants as 3X, and build the following equation: 3X + X = 88 4X = 88 X = 88/4 X = 22 As stated above, X stands for the number of giraffes. Thus, there are 22 giraffes. As mentioned in the problem, there are three times as many elephants as there are giraffes in the safari. Thus, to find how many elephants there are in the safari, multiply the number of giraffes by 3: 22 * 3 = 66 66 is the number of elephants in the safari.
Oranges are to fruits as ____ are to shapes. A. Angles B. Dimensions C. Dots D. Rulers E. Triangles
The correct answer is (E). To solve this questions correctly, it is necessary to understand the relationship between X and Y (oranges and fruits). Creating a sentence with the first pair of words and applying it to the second pair is a useful method for solving this type of question. Thus, we should phrase a sentence to define what X is to Y. Oranges are a specific kind of fruit. Now, we can try to apply this relation to shapes: A. Angles are a specific kind of shape. B. Dimensions are a specific kind of shape. C. Dots are a specific kind of shape. D. Rulers are a specific kind of shape. E. Triangles are a specific kind of shape. Options B, dimensions, can be eliminated because it is a characteristic of a shape, not a type of one. Option D, rulers, can also be eliminated as rulers may assist us in creating shapes, but they are not a shape. Angles, dots, and triangles are the only options left. Although angles and dots are a part of shapes, they do not constitute as shapes. Thus, the correct answer is E.
________ is to CLEANING as MEDICINE is to CURING A. Chore B. Dirt C. Soap D. Germs E. Shiny

A car dealership sells used cars for $7,000 and new cars for $16,000. If a total of 17 cars were sold for $191,000, how many of the cars sold were used? A. 2 B. 3 C. 5 D. 8 E. 10 F. None of these
The correct answer is (F) - None of the above. First of all, in order to simplify the calculations we can divide all the numbers by a common denominator: 1000, in that way we can get rid of all those annoying zeroes. Now we define the used cars as U (with a price of 7 each) and the new cars as N (with a price of 16 each) Now we can build two equations, the first representing the total price and the second the total amount of cars: a. 7U+16N=191 b. N+U= 17 So according to the second equation N = 17-U, and we can now substitute N in the first equation: 7U+16(17-U)=191 ; 7U+272-16U=191 ; 9U=81 ; U=9. 9 used cars were sold. Solving Tip: You could try solving this question by elimination. For starters, since 191 is an odd number and 16 is an even number, then the number of used cars must be odd (even+odd=odd) - which means we can eliminate answers A, D & E. Now that we are left only with B and C, let's try to calculate it for each of these options: *. 3*7 + 16*(17-3) = 245, which means we can eliminate B as an answer. *. 5*7 + 16*(17-5) = 227, which means we can eliminate C as an answer. Therefore, the only possible answer is F - none of the above.
