QPSea QPSea Numeracy and Mathematical Reasoning 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A police officer works 8-hour shifts and patrols 12 km per shift. How many kilometers does the officer patrol in a 5-day work week?
- 48 km
- 60 km (Correct answer)
- 72 km
- 96 km
Correct answer: 60 km
Multiplying 12 km per shift by 5 shifts gives 60 km total for the week.
Question 2: A report states that 45 out of 180 incidents involved traffic offences. What percentage of incidents were traffic-related?
- 20%
- 25% (Correct answer)
- 30%
- 35%
Correct answer: 25%
Dividing 45 by 180 and multiplying by 100 gives 25%.
Question 3: If a police vehicle travels at 90 km/h, how long will it take to travel 45 km?
- 20 minutes
- 25 minutes
- 30 minutes (Correct answer)
- 45 minutes
Correct answer: 30 minutes
Dividing distance (45 km) by speed (90 km/h) gives 0.5 hours, which equals 30 minutes.
Question 4: A station has 24 officers divided equally into 3 shifts. How many officers are assigned to each shift?
- 6
- 7
- 8 (Correct answer)
- 9
Correct answer: 8
Dividing 24 officers by 3 shifts gives 8 officers per shift.
Question 5: Evidence logs show items valued at $320, $75, $540, and $65. What is the total value of the logged evidence?
- $900
- $970
- $1,000 (Correct answer)
- $1,100
Correct answer: $1,000
Adding $320 + $75 + $540 + $65 gives a total of $1,000.
Question 6: A patrol area is 150 square kilometres and must be covered by 6 officers. How many square kilometres is each officer responsible for?
- 20 km²
- 25 km² (Correct answer)
- 30 km²
- 35 km²
Correct answer: 25 km²
Dividing 150 km² by 6 officers gives 25 km² per officer.
