  1. A fire truck's water tank holds 750 gallons. The pump discharges water at 150 gallons per minute. How many minutes will the tank last before it runs empty?

    Answer: 5 minutes

    Divide the total tank capacity by the discharge rate: 750 ÷ 150 = 5 minutes.

  2. A firefighter's full gear weighs 45 pounds. If 4 firefighters suit up, what is the combined weight of all their gear?

    Answer: 180 pounds

    Multiply the weight per firefighter by the number of firefighters: 45 × 4 = 180 pounds.

  3. A building has 6 stories, each story measuring 10 feet in height. What is the total height of the building in feet?

    Answer: 60 feet

    Multiply the number of stories by the height per story: 6 × 10 = 60 feet.

  4. A fire crew lays 3 sections of hose, each 50 feet long, toward a structure fire 200 feet away. How many additional feet of hose are needed to reach the structure?

    Answer: 50 feet

    Total hose laid = 3 × 50 = 150 feet. Remaining distance = 200 − 150 = 50 feet.

  5. A fire station logs 3 calls on Monday, 5 on Tuesday, 2 on Wednesday, 6 on Thursday, and 4 on Friday. What is the total number of calls for those five days?

    Answer: 20

    Add all daily calls: 3 + 5 + 2 + 6 + 4 = 20 calls total.

  6. A fire department has 12 firefighters who are divided equally among 3 shifts. How many firefighters are assigned to each shift?

    Answer: 4

    Divide the total number of firefighters by the number of shifts: 12 ÷ 3 = 4 firefighters per shift.
