To calculate this answer mentally, use the Rule of 72. Divide 72 by the rate of growth. In this example, Ron’s money would double in 8 years (72/9). The rule of 72 is a quick mental calculation tool that provides an estimate of how long it would take an investment to grow double. Key Takeaway: For a few days, practice this every time you see a growth rate in the newspaper or at work.

Question: 2

If the speed of a car is 200 km per hour, how may minutes does it take to travel 60 km?A.3 1/3 hours B.20 minutes C.18 minutes D.22 minutes E.24 minutes

Answer: C 1 / 2

18 minutes. The quickest way to do this problem is to divde 60 by 200. You can quickly reduce that to 3/10. Then multiply 3/10 by 60 to get 18 minutes.Key Takeaway: Again, we can't emphasize the value of being really comfortable with the time units. 60 breaks down nicely with fractions as it is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30.

Answer: D

15 x 15 is 225 square feet. Key Takeaway: To square any number that ends in 5, use this trick.Take the first digit of the number, in this case 1. Multiply that by itself and the next consecutive digit, which is 2. So far, we have 1 x (1+1) = 1 x 2 = 2. Then, simply put 25 on the end, which results in 225. This trick works for squaring any number that ends in 5.
