GMAS Mathematics 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A rectangular garden has a length of 12 feet and a width of 8 feet. What is the area of the garden?
- 20 square feet
- 40 square feet
- 96 square feet (Correct answer)
- 80 square feet
Correct answer: 96 square feet
Area of a rectangle = length × width = 12 × 8 = 96 square feet.
Question 2: Which of the following is equivalent to 3/4?
- 0.25
- 0.50
- 0.75 (Correct answer)
- 0.34
Correct answer: 0.75
3 ÷ 4 = 0.75, so 3/4 is equivalent to 0.75.
Question 3: If a train travels 240 miles in 4 hours, what is its average speed?
- 40 mph
- 60 mph (Correct answer)
- 80 mph
- 960 mph
Correct answer: 60 mph
Speed = distance ÷ time = 240 ÷ 4 = 60 mph.
Question 4: What is the value of 5² + 3²?
- 64
- 34 (Correct answer)
- 16
- 30
Correct answer: 34
5² = 25 and 3² = 9, so 25 + 9 = 34.
Question 5: A store sells apples for $0.45 each. How much do 12 apples cost?
- $4.50

12 × $0.45 = $5.40.
Question 6: What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6?
- 2
- 12 (Correct answer)
- 24
- 10
Correct answer: 12
The smallest number divisible by both 4 and 6 is 12.
Question 7: A line passes through points (0, 2) and (3, 8). What is the slope of the line?
- 1
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 3
- 6
Correct answer: 2
Slope = (8 − 2) ÷ (3 − 0) = 6 ÷ 3 = 2.
