Question 1

A meter reader is facing north and turns 90 degrees to the right. Which direction are they now facing?

Accepted Answer

East

Answer

Turning 90 degrees clockwise (to the right) from north brings you to face east.

Question 2

On a grid street map, a meter reader starts at the intersection of 3rd Street and Elm Avenue. They walk 2 blocks east, then 3 blocks north. Which intersection are they at?

Accepted Answer

5th Street and Elm Avenue

Answer

Moving 2 blocks east stays on 3rd Street but advances from Elm to 5th Avenue equivalent in east direction; moving 3 blocks north advances the street count — the final position is 5th Street (after 2 east blocks) then north 3 = 5th + 3 north streets on the 5th Avenue column, but for a simple grid moving east 2 blocks and north 3 blocks from (3rd & Elm) lands at 5th Street and Elm (east) / north would be 3 blocks up.

Question 3

A meter reader's route shows meters on the north side of Oak Street between 1st and 5th Avenue. Moving west to east, which meter comes LAST?

Accepted Answer

Meter at 5th Ave

Answer

Moving west to east means you travel from lower-numbered avenues to higher-numbered ones, so 5th Avenue is reached last.

Question 4

Which shape best represents the cross-section of a standard round gas service pipe as viewed from the end?

Accepted Answer

Circle

Answer

Standard gas service pipes have a round (circular) cross-section when viewed end-on.

Question 5

A meter is located at the back of a property that is 100 feet deep from the street. The meter reader enters from the front and walks straight back. How far will they walk in total (to and from the meter)?

Accepted Answer

200 feet

The meter reader walks 100 feet to the meter and 100 feet back, totaling 200 feet of walking for that single read.
