  2. If 'HOUSE' is coded as 'IPVTF', what is the code for 'BRAIN'?

    Answer: 5/11

    Converting to decimals: 3/7≈0.429, 5/11≈0.455, 7/15≈0.467, 9/20=0.45 — 7/15 is the greatest.

  4. A factory produces 240 units in 8 hours. At the same rate, how many units are produced in 5 hours?

    Answer: 150

    Rate = 240 ÷ 8 = 30 units/hour; 30 × 5 = 150 units.

  6. If you fold a square piece of paper in half twice and then cut a triangle from the folded corner, how many triangles appear when unfolded?

    Folding twice creates 4 layers, so one cut produces 4 identical triangles when unfolded.

  7. A number is increased by 20%, then decreased by 20%. What is the net change?

    Answer: −4%

    If the number is 100: 100 × 1.2 = 120, then 120 × 0.8 = 96, a net decrease of 4%.
