  1. A mail carrier delivers to 320 addresses in 8 hours. At that rate, how many addresses does the carrier deliver to per hour?

    Answer: 40

    320 divided by 8 equals 40 addresses per hour.

  2. A package weighs 3 pounds 12 ounces. What is its weight in ounces? (1 pound = 16 ounces)

    Answer: 60 ounces

    3 × 16 = 48, plus 12 equals 60 ounces.

  3. If first-class postage costs $0.68 per letter, how much does it cost to mail 25 letters?

    Answer: $17.00

    0.68 × 25 = $17.00.

  4. Which number comes next in the sequence: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

    Answer: 42

    The differences increase by 2 each time (4,6,8,10,12), so 30 + 12 = 42.

  5. A route has 5 mail collection boxes spaced equally over 4 miles. What is the distance between consecutive boxes?

    Answer: 1.0 mile

    5 boxes create 4 equal gaps, so 4 miles ÷ 4 gaps = 1 mile each.

  6. A clerk sorts 1,200 letters in 2.5 hours. How many letters does the clerk sort per minute?

    Answer: 8

    2.5 hours = 150 minutes, and 1,200 ÷ 150 = 8 letters per minute.

  7. If a parcel's volume is length 12 in × width 8 in × height 5 in, what is its volume in cubic inches?

    Answer: 480

    12 × 8 × 5 = 480 cubic inches.
