Question 3: A mixing recipe requires a 3:5 ratio of chemical A to chemical B. If 12 liters of chemical A are used, how many liters of chemical B are needed?
- 15 liters
- 18 liters
- 20 liters (Correct answer)
- 24 liters
Correct answer: 20 liters
Ratio 3:5 means B = (5/3) Γ A = (5/3) Γ 12 = 20 liters.
Question 4: A pipe leaks 0.75 gallons per hour. How many gallons will leak over a 3.5-day period?
- 56.25 gallons
- 60.50 gallons
- 63.00 gallons (Correct answer)
- 66.25 gallons
Correct answer: 63.00 gallons
Hours in 3.5 days = 3.5 Γ 24 = 84 hours; total leak = 84 Γ 0.75 = 63.00 gallons.
Question 5: An employee receives a 6.5% raise on a base salary of $42,000. What is the new annual salary?
- $44,520
- $44,730 (Correct answer)
- $45,150
- $45,360

Question 6: A cylindrical storage drum has a diameter of 3 feet and a height of 4 feet. Approximately how many cubic feet of material can it hold? (Use Ο β 3.14)
- 18.84 cubic feet
- 28.26 cubic feet (Correct answer)
- 37.68 cubic feet
- 56.52 cubic feet
Correct answer: 28.26 cubic feet
Radius = 1.5 ft; volume = Ο Γ rΒ² Γ h = 3.14 Γ 2.25 Γ 4 β 28.26 cubic feet.
Question 7: A supply order costs $540 before a 15% bulk discount is applied. What is the final price after the discount?
- $459.00 (Correct answer)
- $463.50
- $475.00
- $481.50
