  1. A fire hose delivers water at 125 gallons per minute. How many gallons are delivered in 36 minutes?

    Answer: 4,500 gallons

    125 × 36 = 4,500 gallons.

  2. A ladder truck's aerial ladder is extended to 85 feet. If the base of the ladder is 12 feet off the ground on the truck, how high does the tip reach above the ground?

    Answer: 97 feet

    85 + 12 = 97 feet above the ground.

  3. A station has 4 firefighters on duty and each must complete 3 equipment checks per shift. How many total checks are completed across a 5-day work week?

    Answer: 60

    4 × 3 × 5 = 60 total checks.

  4. If a fire spreads at a rate of 0.5 acres per minute, how many acres will it cover in 1 hour and 20 minutes?

    Answer: 40 acres

    1 hour 20 minutes = 80 minutes; 80 × 0.5 = 40 acres.

  5. A fire truck has a 500-gallon water tank. After fighting a fire, 340 gallons remain. What percentage of water was used?

    Answer: 32%

    Used = 500 − 340 = 160; 160 ÷ 500 = 0.32 = 32%.

  6. Firefighter wages are $28.50 per hour. How much does a firefighter earn for a 56-hour work week, including 16 hours of overtime paid at 1.5× the base rate?

    Answer: $1,824

    Regular: 40 × $28.50 = $1,140; OT: 16 × $42.75 = $684; total = $1,824.

  7. A department orders 240 pairs of gloves. If 3 cases each hold 15 pairs, and the rest come in individual pairs, how many individual pairs are needed beyond the 3 cases?

    Answer: 195

    3 cases × 15 = 45 pairs; 240 − 45 = 195 individual pairs.
