0.3 7 5
8 3 0
- 4
6 0
- 5 6
4 0
- 4 0

Co3verti3g the 1ractio3s to /ecimals:
1) 0.375 ) 0.833 3) 0.75 4) 0.333 5) 0.666

2. What is the standard numerical value for 3.54 x 10 the 5th power?

1. 35, 400 3. 354. 0000 5. 0.354
. 0.000354 4. 0.00354

Answer: Review Scie3ti1ic 3:mbers a3/ Expo3e3ts. This is a very easy problem. For starters, i1
there is a 10
x
or 10 the X
th
power, /eal with it 1irst. Yo:`ll i:st m:ltiply the 10 by itsel1 Xth
times, or 1010101010.10, a3/ m:ltiply that to the other give3 3:mber i3 the problem. I3
the problem, it is a 10
5
, yo:`ll 3ee/ to m:ltiply 10, 5 times.. 1010101010 100,000.
otice that the res:lt has 5 zeros, That wo:l/ make the problem a lot easier. :ltiplyi3g 100,000
to 3.54 gives :s 354,000. otice how the /ecimal poi3t was move/ 5 steps to the right, which
makes the problem 1aster to solve i1 yo: meet this i3 the act:al civil service exam, yo:`ll i:st
move the /ecimal poi3t X steps to the right(i1 positive) a3/ to the le1t (i1 3egative).. The a3swer
has a3other clerical error. Be ope3 mi3/e/ 1or possible errors while a3sweri3g the act:al exam.

3. Which of the following has the least numerical value?

1. 63 x 4 3. 4 x 6 3 3 6 x 4
. 43 x 6 4. 3 x 64

This is a3 DAS problem. I3 algebra, DAS plays a3 importa3t role i3 solvi3g the problem. By
st:/yi3g the problem, or by tryi3g to a3swer it thro:gh DAS i3 my mi3/, I 3otice/ that
choices 3 a3/ 5, 4 a3/ will give the same a3swer, which leaves choice o3e as the o3ly possible
a3swer.

the coconut?

1. 101t. 3. 181t. 5. 51t.
. 151t. 4. 01t.

There are lots of ways to answer this problem.
a. O3e way is by g:essi3g. It is obvio:s that the a3swer is 0 1t beca:se it wo:l/ give him
mi3:tes to go :p give3 the spee/ o1 10 1t per mi3:te a3/ 1 mi3:te to go /ow3 give3 the
spee/ o1 0 1t/mi3.
b. O3e way is by elimi3atio3 - by solvi3g 1or the time it will take 1or a3g Romy to 1i3ish
each choices. We will be 1i3/i3g 1or a3 a3swer o1 three mi3:tes :si3g the give3 spee/s.
1. 10 1t will take him 1 mi3:te to go :p a3/ hal1 mi3:te to go /ow3. A total o1 1.5
mi3s.
. 15 1t will take him 1.5 mi3:tes to go :p a3/ 0.75 mi3:tes to go /ow3. A total o1

5. I /o3`t have to solve 1or choice 5. The a3swer is alrea/y 4.
c. By algebra:
3 mi3s , 1orm:la co3str:ctio3 takes a little time i1 yo: /o3`t like

math. This takes a little e11ort a3/ practice.

7. Basketball team lost 40 of its first 40 games. how many of its remaining 20 games.
must it win to raise its winning percentage to 65

1. 15 3. 16 5. 0
. 1 4. 14

Answer: A3alyze the problem 1irst.
First !oi3t: 40 o1 the 1irst 40 games was lost. They lost 16 games (0.40x40)o1 the 1irst 40
games, which also mea3s they wo3 4 games.
Seco3/ !oi3t: There are still 0 games le1t to play. A total o1 60 games over-all.
Thir/ !oi3t: The team m:st wi3 65 o1 the total game playe/ or 65 o1 60 games, which is
a total o1 39 games wo3. They alrea/y wo3 4 games i3 the 1irst 40 games, so the o3ly 3ee/ to
wi3 15 games to make their wi33i3g 65.

8. The sum of 3 numbers is 94. if the first number is 3/5 of the second number and the

. 4, 30, 35 4. , 4, 30

Long Solution: We are looki3g 1or three 3:mbers. Let x, y, a3/ z be the 1irst, seco3/ a3/ thir/
3:mbers. Yo: have 3 :3k3ow3s, mea3i3g yo: have to co3str:ct 3 eq:atio3s 1rom the wor/

To solve o3e :3k3ow3, yo: 3ee/ to make a o3e eq:atio3 o:t o1 the 3 eq:atio3s. Let`s say we
wa3t to solve 1or x. The 3ext step is to 1i3/ a way to relate y a3/ z to x i3 eq:atio3 1 :si3g

21.Two planes X and Y are 180 miles apart and moving from opposite direction at a
rate of 20 and 30 miles per hour respectively. How many miles is covered by the
slower plane when they intersect?

1. 50 miles 3. 90 miles 5. 80 miles
2. 72 miles 4. 60 miles

Solution: Si3ce the will i:st i3tersect each other, the 180 mi. will i:st be /ivi/e/ by the two
pla3es. We ca3 :se ratio a3/ proportio3, the /ista3ce covere/ by X will be /5 o1 the 180mi. a3/
Y will be 3/5 o1 the 180mi. /5 o1 180 7mi.
