  1. An officer patrols a 12-mile route. If she completes 3/4 of the route in 45 minutes, how long will the entire route take at the same pace?

    Answer: 60 minutes

    45 minutes covers 3/4 of the route, so the full route takes 45 ÷ 0.75 = 60 minutes.

  2. A police department receives 240 emergency calls in a 24-hour period. What is the average number of calls per hour?

    Answer: 10

    240 calls ÷ 24 hours = 10 calls per hour.

  3. Evidence storage holds 500 items. If 35% are from this year and 25% are from last year, how many items are from two or more years ago?

    Answer: 200

    35% + 25% = 60% are from the past two years, so 40% of 500 = 200 items are older.

  4. A suspect drove 180 miles in 3 hours. What was the average speed in miles per hour?

    Answer: 60 mph

    Speed = distance ÷ time = 180 ÷ 3 = 60 mph.

  5. If a police unit has a budget of $84,000 and spends $7,000 per month, how many months until the budget runs out?

    Answer: 12

    $84,000 ÷ $7,000 per month = 12 months.

  6. Officers work 8-hour shifts. If a station needs 24-hour coverage with 3 officers on duty at all times, how many officer-shifts are needed each day?

    Answer: 9

    24 hours ÷ 8 hours per shift = 3 shifts; 3 shifts × 3 officers = 9 officer-shifts per day.
