Question 1: A cable runs from Point A to Point B at a total cost of $6.72 per linear foot. If the cable is 125 feet long, what is the total cost?
- $820.00
- $840.00 (Correct answer)
- $860.00
- $880.00
Correct answer: $840.00
Total cost = 125 × $6.72 = $840.00.
Question 2: A construction crew pours concrete at a rate of 15 cubic yards per hour. A slab requires 112.5 cubic yards. How long will the pour take?
- 6 hours
- 6.5 hours
- 7 hours
- 7.5 hours (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 7.5 hours
Time = 112.5 ÷ 15 = 7.5 hours.
Question 3: A worker's net pay is $1,892.50 after $437.50 in total deductions. What was the gross pay?
- $2,230.00
- $2,280.00
- $2,330.00 (Correct answer)
- $2,380.00

Gross pay = net pay + deductions = $1,892.50 + $437.50 = $2,330.00.
Question 4: A metal sheet is 0.125 inches thick. A stack of these sheets measures 5.5 inches. How many sheets are in the stack?
- 40 sheets
- 42 sheets
- 44 sheets (Correct answer)
- 46 sheets
Correct answer: 44 sheets
Number of sheets = 5.5 ÷ 0.125 = 44 sheets.
Question 5: An assembly line produces 840 units per 8-hour shift. The factory runs 2 shifts per day, 6 days per week. How many units are produced in one week?
- 8,640
- 9,240
- 10,080 (Correct answer)
- 10,800
Correct answer: 10,080
Daily production = 840 × 2 = 1,680 units; weekly = 1,680 × 6 = 10,080 units.
Question 6: A repair quote lists labor at $95/hour for 3.5 hours and parts totaling $218.75. What is the total cost of the repair?
- $540.25
- $551.00
- $551.25 (Correct answer)
- $570.25
Correct answer: $551.25
Labor cost = $95 × 3.5 = $332.50; total = $332.50 + $218.75 = $551.25.
Question 7: A rectangular lot measures 165 feet by 240 feet. A fence is needed around the entire perimeter. Fencing costs $8.50 per linear foot. What is the total fencing cost?
- $6,502.50
- $6,885.00 (Correct answer)
- $6,970.50
- $7,012.50
