✔✔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?

• 150 miles
• 180 miles
• 165 miles
• 185 miles
• 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:

• hours X 60 miles per hour=120 miles

The second stage is calculated using the same formula:

• hour X 65 miles per hour=65 miles

Therefore, the total distance between the cities is 120 miles + 65 miles = 185 miles.

✔✔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 1 / 2

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.

✔✔The volume of a rectangle prism is 100 cubic inches. Which of the alternatives is its greatest possible length?

A. 100

• 10
• 20
• 60
• 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?

• Rapidly
• Exceedingly
• Hastily
• Eventually
• 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.

✔✔In the following set of words, which word is different from the others? A. Inflation
