  1. A mail carrier delivers 252 pieces of mail over a 7-hour shift at a constant rate. How many pieces of mail does he deliver per hour?

    Answer: 36

    Divide 252 pieces by 7 hours: 252 ÷ 7 = 36 pieces per hour.

  2. A city sanitation crew covers 18 streets in 6 hours. At the same rate, how many streets will they cover in 9 hours?

    Answer: 27

    The crew covers 18 ÷ 6 = 3 streets per hour. In 9 hours they cover 3 × 9 = 27 streets.

  3. A fire station receives 45 calls on Monday, 38 on Tuesday, 52 on Wednesday, and 41 on Thursday. What is the average number of daily calls over these four days?

    Answer: 44

    Add all calls: 45 + 38 + 52 + 41 = 176. Divide by 4 days: 176 ÷ 4 = 44 calls per day.

  4. A city employee earns $24.50 per hour and works a standard 40-hour week. What are their total weekly earnings?

    Answer: $980.00

    Multiply the hourly rate by hours worked: $24.50 × 40 = $980.00.

  5. A transit authority purchases 12 new buses at $85,000 each. What is the total purchase cost?

    Answer: $1,020,000

    Multiply the number of buses by the unit cost: 12 × $85,000 = $1,020,000.

  6. A water meter reader checks 8 meters every 3 hours. At this rate, how many meters will he check during a 12-hour workday?

    Answer: 32

    The reader completes 8 meters per 3 hours. In 12 hours there are 12 ÷ 3 = 4 such intervals, so 4 × 8 = 32 meters.
