WorkKeys Applied Mathematics Test - Level 3 Question
A college fraternity planned a three-day study marathon. On the first day, they studied 75% of the time, ate for 3 hours, and slept the rest of the time. On the second day, they studied 50% of the time, ate for 4 hours, and slept the rest of the time. On the third day, they slept 1⁄3 of the time. How many hours in total did the fraternity members sleep during the three days?
Note that one day contains 24 hours.
Calculate the number of hours the fraternity slept every day:
Start by converting the percentages into absolute hours.
First day (24 hours):
Thus:
The students slept for 3 hours on the first day.
Second day (24 hours):
, hence,
Thus:
Third day (24 hours):
Total number of hours spent in sleep: 3+8+8 = 19
The correct answer is B

WorkKeys Applied Mathematics Test - Level 4 Question
Dan took a two-hour walk around a round lake. The radius of the lake is 6 feet. What was Dan's average speed?
Any time we need to calculate the speed, we should use the formula time x speed = distance:
The time is given. Now, in order to calculate the speed, first find the distance.
The lake is round with a radius of 6 feet. Accordingly, if Dan took a walk around the lake, the distance he walked is also the perimeter of the lake.
Therefore, use the formula of a circle’s perimeter in order to calculate the perimeter of the lake:
Therefore, Dan's average speed is 6π.
If you chose any other answer, review the solution and your calculations.
The correct answer is B

WorkKeys Applied Mathematics Test - Level 5 Question
A pencil is sketched using a rectangle and an isosceles triangle. The length of the pencil is 12 inches. The length of the rectangular section is five times longer than its width, and the height of the triangle is 2 inches. What is the perimeter of the pencil?
In order to solve this problem, calculate the length of all outer sides of both the rectangle and the triangle.
From the given information, it is known that the total length of the pencil is 12 inches, and the height of the triangle is 2 inches; therefore, the length of one side of the rectangle is: 12-2 = 10 inches.
Given that one side of the rectangle is five times longer than the other:
And, since opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length (or “congruent”):
In an isosceles triangle, the height is perpendicular to the base and divides the base into two equal parts, thus the sides of the triangle can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem:
Therefore:
The perimeter of the pencil is:
inches.
If you chose answer (A), you probably confused the base and the other sides of the triangle. If you chose answer (C), you probably forgot to divide the base by two, and if you chose answer (D), review the solution.
The correct answer is B

WorkKeys Applied Mathematics Test - Level 6 Question
Dan is diving in El-Nido in the Philippines. He starts his dive from a boat five meters above sea level (0 meters), and he is descending two meters each minute.
Which of the following describes Dan’s dive as a function of elevation and time?
The line equation: y = mx + n;
m = slope,
n = the intersection point between the line and the y-axis.
The graph is the elevation of Dan relative to the ground as a function of time. The x-axis represents time. The y-axis represents elevation; Dan was five meters above when he dove: i.e he had an elevation of 5 meters, at time = 0 minutes. Therefore, the beginning point is (0, 5).
Dan is diving down at a rate of two meters per minute. This means that the slope is: m = -2 meters/minute
Find the linear equation describing Dan’s dive, using the information you found:
If you chose answer (B), note that the graph starts at the origin. If you chose answer (C), note that the graph’s slope is -1. If you chose answer (D), note that the graph’s slope is -1, and it starts at the origin.
The correct answer is A

WorkKeys Applied Mathematics Test - Level 7 Question
Nancy is planning a ring-shaped pool for a new hotel in Florida. The outer diameter of the pool is 100 feet. If the pool has an area of square 1600π ft., which of the following is its inner diameter (the diameter of the dry area)?
Remember that
The outer diameter is 100 feet. Therefore, the radius of the entire shape is 50:
The total area of the pool is the area of the whole shape minus the dry area (da):
The length of a radius can be only positive; therefore, r = 30.
The diameter (d) equals two times the radius:
d = 2r = 2x30 = 60.
The inner diameter is 60 ft. If you chose any other answer, review your solution.
The correct answer is A

Renewals
To keep your state driving privilege valid, the renewal may be completed six months before your license expires (usually on your birthday). The license can still be renewed three months after its expiration, until which you are entitled to your driving privileges, but these expire at midnight three months after the expiration date and are not valid until the renewal is processed. Driver's licenses issued to foreign nationals whose presence in the United States is temporarily authorized under federal law may not be renewed by mail.
Type of Driver License Exam Station Renewal Options
Full-service driver's license holders must renew their licenses and pay their fees in person at the state office. This requires scheduling an appointment a month in advance. Rural, limited-service driver's license holders must renew in person, but they should first pay for their license at the county treasurer’s office and get a prepaid receipt, which should be presented to the driver examiner.
If you are a state resident who is temporarily outside the state and will not return before the expiration of your state driver's license, you may renew by mail. However, after renewing by mail, your next renewal must be completed in person at a driver's license exam station.
What is the amount of time given to a state driver's license holder from the day he is first allowed to renew his license to the day he is no longer allowed to drive?

In the circuit below, how many bulbs would light up if switch I were closed and switch II was open?
If you close switch I and leave switch II open (see the red line in the drawing), you can see that bulbs c, b and a are still sitting on a closed circuit containing the battery.
The branch containing bulb d is disconnected from the circuit, causing zero current to flow through it, and thus this bulb does not light up. Without it, only three bulbs would light up.
The correct answer is C
