  1. In a table of crime statistics, Area A had 240 incidents and Area B had 180 incidents. What is the ratio of Area A to Area B incidents in simplest form?

    Answer: 4:3

    Dividing both 240 and 180 by 60 gives the simplest ratio of 4:3.

  2. A police vehicle uses 8 litres of fuel per 100 km. How many litres are needed for a 375 km journey?

    Answer: 30 litres

    375 km ÷ 100 × 8 L = 30 litres.

  3. An investigation team of 5 officers splits a 210-page case file equally. How many pages does each officer review?

    Answer: 42 pages

    Dividing 210 pages by 5 officers gives 42 pages each.

  4. If 3 officers can process 36 statements in 4 hours, how many statements can 6 officers process in the same time?

    Answer: 72

    Doubling the officers doubles the output from 36 to 72 statements in 4 hours.

  5. A safe contains bundles of notes: 12 bundles of $50 and 8 bundles of $100. How much money is in the safe if each bundle holds 10 notes?

    Answer: $16,000

    12 bundles × $50 × 10 = $6,000, plus 8 bundles × $100 × 10 = $8,000, totalling $14,000.

  6. Response times for 5 incidents were: 4, 7, 6, 9, and 4 minutes. What is the average response time?

    Answer: 6 minutes

    Adding 4+7+6+9+4 = 30, then dividing by 5 gives an average of 6 minutes.
