  1. A suspect ran at 8 mph for 15 minutes before being apprehended. How far did the suspect run?

    Answer: 2 miles

    Distance = 8 mph × (15/60) hour = 8 × 0.25 = 2 miles.

  2. A court-ordered fine of $1,200 is to be paid in monthly installments of $150. How many months will it take to pay off the fine?

    Answer: 8

    $1,200 ÷ $150 per month = 8 months to pay off the fine.

  3. A patrol route covers 3/8 of the town's 96-mile road network. How many miles does the patrol route cover?

    Answer: 36

    96 × (3/8) = 36 miles covered by the patrol route.

  4. An officer works 240 days per year and drives an average of 45 miles per shift. How many miles does the officer drive annually?

    Answer: 10,800

    240 × 45 = 10,800 miles driven per year.

  5. A training class begins with 60 candidates. After physical testing, 1/4 are eliminated. After written testing, 1/3 of the remaining are eliminated. How many candidates remain?

    Answer: 30

    60 × (3/4) = 45 after physical testing; 45 × (2/3) = 30 after written testing.

  6. A vehicle was traveling at 65 mph in a 45 mph zone. By approximately what percentage was the vehicle exceeding the speed limit?

    Answer: 44%

    (65 − 45) ÷ 45 × 100 = 20/45 × 100 ≈ 44% over the speed limit.

  7. A correctional facility spends $85 per inmate per day and houses 320 inmates. What is the total weekly cost?

    Answer: $190,400

    $85 × 320 × 7 = $27,200 per day × 7 days = $190,400 per week.
