  1. A fire engine travels 48 miles in 1 hour and 20 minutes. What is its average speed in miles per hour?

    Answer: 36 mph

    1 hour 20 minutes = 4/3 hours; 48 ÷ (4/3) = 48 × (3/4) = 36 mph.

  2. A hose line delivers 125 gallons per minute. How many gallons are delivered in 36 minutes?

    Answer: 4,500 gallons

    125 × 36 = 4,500 gallons.

  3. A ladder that is 35 feet long leans against a building. If the base is 7 feet from the wall, what percentage of the ladder's length is the base distance?

    Answer: 20%

    7 ÷ 35 = 0.20, which equals 20%.

  4. A fire station has 3 shifts. Shift A responds to 42 calls per week, Shift B to 38, and Shift C to 40. What is the average number of calls per shift per week?

    Answer: 40

    (42 + 38 + 40) ÷ 3 = 120 ÷ 3 = 40 calls.

  5. A water tank holds 2,400 gallons. A pump drains it at 80 gallons per minute. How long will it take to empty the tank?

    Answer: 30 minutes

    2,400 ÷ 80 = 30 minutes.

  6. If firefighter protective gear weighs 45 pounds and a firefighter carries an additional 30 pounds of equipment, what is the total load as a percentage of the firefighter's 200-pound body weight?

    Answer: 37.5%

    (45 + 30) ÷ 200 = 75 ÷ 200 = 0.375 = 37.5%.

  7. A fire department purchased 6 sets of turnout gear at $1,850 each. What was the total cost?
