Question 2:

Three empty cereal boxes weigh 9 oz, and each box holds 11 oz of cereal. How much do 2 full boxes of cereal weigh together?

  • A full box weighs 9oz+11oz=20oz9 \, \text{oz} + 11 \, \text{oz} = 20 \, \text{oz}.
  • Two full boxes weigh 20oz×2=40oz20 \, \text{oz} \times 2 = 40 \, \text{oz}.

Answer: 40 oz


Question 3:

Which number is repeated first in the following series?

The series is:
594823617476789152358953543715 \, 9 \, 4 \, 8 \, 2 \, 3 \, 6 \, 1 \, 7 \, 4 \, 7 \, 6 \, 7 \, 8 \, 9 \, 1 \, 5 \, 2 \, 3 \, 5 \, 8 \, 9 \, 5 \, 3 \, 5 \, 4 \, 3 \, 7 \, 1.

By scanning through the series:

  • 4 repeats at positions 22 and 1010, making it the first repeated number.

Answer: 4


Question 4:

In how many days of the week does the third letter of the day’s name immediately follow the first letter of the day’s name in the alphabet?

We check each day of the week:

  • Monday: MM and nnnn is not immediately after MM.
  • Tuesday: TT and eeee is not immediately after TT.
  • Wednesday: WW and dddd is not immediately after WW.
  • Thursday: TT and uuuu is not immediately after TT.
  • Friday: FF and iiii is not immediately after FF.
  • Saturday: SS and tttt is not immediately after SS.
  • Sunday: SS and nnnn is not immediately after SS.

No days meet this condition.

Answer: 0


Question 5:

How many sixths are in 12/212 / 2?

  1. Simplify 12/2=612 / 2 = 6.
  2. A sixth means 16\frac{1}{6}, so we find how many 16\frac{1}{6}'s are in 6: 6÷16=6×6=36.6 \div \frac{1}{6} = 6 \times 6 = 36.

Answer: 36


Question 6:

Hospital is to sickness as ______ is to _______.

We are looking for an analogy that matches the relationship "hospital: sickness," where a hospital is a place that deals with sickness.
