  1. Quantitative problem solving1 of 3

    What is 3/4 + 5/6?

    The answer

    Answer: A. Fractions need a common denominator before they are added. The least common denominator of 4 and 6 is 12, so 3/4 becomes 9/12 and 5/6 becomes 10/12. Adding gives 19/12, which is 19/12 as an improper fraction or 1 7/12. Adding the numerators and the denominators separately, as in 8/10, is the usual mistake.

  2. Quantitative problem solving2 of 3

    A car travels 360 miles on 12 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many miles per gallon does it get?

    The answer

    Answer: D. A unit rate divides the total distance by the amount used: 360 ÷ 12 = 30 miles for each gallon. Multiplying 30 by 12 returns 360, which confirms it. Subtracting the numbers, 360 − 12 = 348, is the wrong operation for a rate, and dividing the other way would give gallons per mile instead.

  3. Quantitative problem solving3 of 3

    What is 15% of 240?

    The answer

    Answer: A. Percent means per hundred, so 15% is 0.15. Multiply: 0.15 × 240 = 36. A shortcut is that 10% of 240 is 24 and 5% is half of that, 12, and 24 + 12 = 36. Answers such as 24 come from stopping at 10%, and 360 is 150% of 240.
