  1. A TAP problem: a map uses a scale of 1 inch = 50 miles. If two cities are 3.5 inches apart on the map, what is the actual distance?

    Answer: 175 miles

    3.5 inches × 50 miles/inch = 175 miles.

  2. On the TAP, a student scores 78, 85, 92, and 89 on four tests. What is the average score?

    Answer: 86

    (78 + 85 + 92 + 89) ÷ 4 = 344 ÷ 4 = 86.

  3. A TAP applied math question: 5 workers complete a project in 12 days. How many days would it take 10 workers at the same rate?

    Answer: 6 days

    Doubling the workers halves the time: 12 ÷ 2 = 6 days.

  4. On the TAP, a triangle has angles of 45° and 65°. What is the measure of the third angle?

    Answer: 70°

    The sum of triangle angles is 180°: 180 − 45 − 65 = 70°.

  5. A TAP problem: if 4 notebooks cost $7.20, what is the cost of 10 notebooks?

    Answer: $18.00

    Unit cost = $7.20 ÷ 4 = $1.80; 10 × $1.80 = $18.00.

  6. On the TAP, a cylindrical container has a radius of 3 inches and height of 10 inches. Using π ≈ 3.14, what is the volume?

    Answer: 282.6 cubic inches

    V = π r² h = 3.14 × 9 × 10 = 282.6 cubic inches.
