QUESTION 1 · Translate a rate and honor whole-package constraints
A volunteer workshop needs 9 identical kits, each requiring 14 fasteners. Fasteners are sold only in sealed packages of 20, and unused fasteners can be shared across kits. There is no other stock. What is the minimum number of packages needed?
8 packages.
9 packages.
7 packages.
6 packages.
Read the answer and explanation
Answer: 7 packages.
The kits need 9 × 14 = 126 fasteners. Six packages contain 120, which is insufficient. Seven contain 140, enough with 14 left over. Because packages cannot be split at purchase, the quotient 126/20 = 6.3 must be rounded up, not to the nearest whole number.
Review the lesson QUESTION 2 · Distribute completely and keep both sides balanced
What value of x satisfies 4(x − 2) = 2x + 10?
3.
1.
9.
6.
Read the answer and explanation
Answer: 9.
Distribute first: 4x − 8 = 2x + 10. Subtract 2x from both sides and add 8 to both sides to obtain 2x = 18, so x = 9. Substitution checks both sides: 4(9 − 2) = 28 and 2(9) + 10 = 28.
Review the lesson QUESTION 3 · Use the sentence to constrain a word meaning
The committee was frugal: instead of replacing every worn chair, it repaired usable chairs and bought only the few replacements it needed. As used here, frugal most nearly means:
generous.
economical.
indecisive.
careless.
Read the answer and explanation
Answer: economical.
The stated choices limit unnecessary spending while meeting the need. Economical fits that meaning. The sentence does not describe difficulty deciding, giving more to others, or failing to take care. The interpretation comes from the contrast between blanket replacement and selective repair/purchase.
Review the lesson QUESTION 4 · Read for the central claim before collecting details
Read the original passage.
The community center held two trial repair clinics. Volunteers repaired many chairs and small household items, although some requests required tools the center did not own. The attendance log showed interest on both Saturdays. The coordinator proposes a monthly clinic, with advance descriptions of items so volunteers can identify requests beyond their equipment. Because materials were donated during the trials, their low expenses do not establish the cost of future clinics.
Which statement best expresses the passage’s main point?
A monthly clinic is proposed, while equipment and cost limits still need attention.
The trial expenses establish a dependable budget for every future repair clinic.
The trials mainly compared which neighborhoods supplied replacement materials.
New equipment purchases should replace the proposed monthly repair sessions.
Read the answer and explanation
Answer: A monthly clinic is proposed, while equipment and cost limits still need attention.
The proposal is a monthly clinic, informed by interest but qualified by equipment limits and uncertain future costs. The proposal-with-limits statement integrates the recommendation and its stated reservations. Equipment and donated materials are supporting details; the passage does not replace the clinic with purchases or report a neighborhood comparison.
Review the lesson QUESTION 5 · Convert completion times before combining independent work
Printer A can print a 120-page job in 4 minutes; printer B can print the same size job in 6 minutes. For this arithmetic model, both work simultaneously at constant rates on different pages of one 120-page job, with no startup time. Fractional minutes are allowed. How long does the job take?
2.4 minutes.
2 minutes.
10 minutes.
5 minutes.
Read the answer and explanation
Answer: 2.4 minutes.
A prints 120/4 = 30 pages/minute and B prints 120/6 = 20 pages/minute. Together they print 50 pages/minute because their outputs are independent and distinct. The 120-page job therefore takes 120/50 = 2.4 minutes. At that time A prints 72 pages and B 48, totaling 120.
Review the lesson QUESTION 6 · Separate material area from boundary length and diagonal length
A flat rectangular display frame has outer dimensions 9 cm by 7 cm and a rectangular opening 7 cm by 5 cm. The opening is entirely inside the outer rectangle. What is the area of the frame material, ignoring thickness?
28 cm².
63 cm².
32 cm².
35 cm².
Read the answer and explanation
Answer: 28 cm².
The outer area is 9 × 7 = 63 cm². The opening area is 7 × 5 = 35 cm². Material occupies the difference, 63 − 35 = 28 cm². The problem asks for area, so a boundary length is not the requested quantity.
Review the lesson QUESTION 7 · Check the sense against the event and its conditions
The paper display was taken apart for transport. At the new venue, Lena reassembled it, using the numbered tabs to restore its earlier arrangement. In this sentence, reassembled most nearly means:
decorate for display.
take apart completely.
put together again.
check for damage.
Read the answer and explanation
Answer: put together again.
The display starts in separate parts and ends in its earlier arrangement. Put together again fits both the prior disassembly and the restoration. Decorating or inspecting could occur separately, but neither describes the stated rebuilding action. The word shape can prompt a hypothesis; the surrounding sentence confirms it here.
Review the lesson QUESTION 8 · Follow a stated rule and resolve what a phrase refers to
Read the original passage.
A workshop publishes its digital weekend schedule each Monday. Any change made after Wednesday is displayed in red on that digital schedule. Printed Monday copies are not revised. A Friday notice states that the Saturday start time was changed on Thursday; no other change is mentioned. The notice directs readers to the digital version for the updated time.
Which conclusion must follow from the passage?
The Saturday entry must have been changed at least twice.
The printed Monday copies now show the Thursday change.
Every weekend session has a different start time this week.
The digital Saturday entry displays the change in red.
Read the answer and explanation
Answer: The digital Saturday entry displays the change in red.
The change occurred on Thursday, which is after Wednesday. The stated rule therefore requires red display on the digital schedule. The passage explicitly says printed copies are not revised. It gives no basis for changes to every session or for a second change to Saturday. Only the forward application of the rule is needed.
