  1. A patrol car uses 9 litres of fuel per 100 km. How much fuel is used on a 350 km patrol?

    Answer: 31.5 litres

    (350 ÷ 100) × 9 = 3.5 × 9 = 31.5 litres of fuel used.

  2. A police district has 8 officers per shift and runs 3 shifts per day. How many officer-shifts occur in a standard 7-day week?

    Answer: 168

    8 officers × 3 shifts × 7 days = 168 officer-shifts per week.

  3. Of 500 surveyed community members, 320 rated police response as 'satisfactory or better'. What percentage is this?

    Answer: 64%

    (320 ÷ 500) × 100 = 64% of respondents rated the response satisfactorily.

  4. An incident report must be completed within 48 hours. If it was logged at 09:00 on Monday, by what time on what day must it be submitted?

    Answer: 09:00 Wednesday

    48 hours after 09:00 Monday is 09:00 Wednesday.

  5. A speeding vehicle is detected travelling at 112 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. By how many km/h is it exceeding the limit?

    Answer: 32 km/h

    112 − 80 = 32 km/h over the speed limit.

  6. A property worth $85,000 is stolen during a burglary. Insurance covers 80% of the value. What amount is NOT covered?

    Answer: $17,000

    20% of $85,000 is not covered: $85,000 × 0.20 = $17,000.
