 Helpers are needed to prepare for a party. Each helper can make either 2 large cakes per hour, or 35 small cakes per hour. The kitchen is available for 3 hours and 20 large cakes and 700 small cakes are needed. How many helpers are required?

10 (20 large cakes will require the equivalent of 10 helpers working for one hour. 700 small cakes will require the equivalent of 20 helpers working for one hour. This means if only one hour were available we would need 30 helpers. But since three hours are available we can use 10 helpers).

A cubical block of metal weighs 6 pounds. How much will another cube of the same metal weigh if its sides are twice as long?

48 lbs (If you double the sides of a cube, the ratio of the surface areas of the old and new cubes will be 1: 4. The ratio of the volumes of the old and new cubes will be 1:8. Weight is proportional to volume. If the first weighs 6 lbs, the second weighs 6x8 lbs =48 lbs).

For how many integer values of n will the value of the expression 4n + 7 be an integer greater than 1 and less than 200?

50 (1 < 4n + 7 < 200
n can be 0, or -1
n cannot be -2 or any other negative integer or the expression 4n + 7 will be less than 1.
The largest value for n will be an integer < (200 - 7) /4
193/4 = 48.25, hence 48
The number of integers between -1 and 48 inclusive is 50).

After being dropped a certain ball always bounces back to 2/5 of the height of its previous bounce. After the first bounce it reaches a height of 125 inches. How high (in inches) will it reach after its fourth bounce?

8 (If after each bounce it reaches 2/5 of the previous height, then after the second bounce it will reach 2/5 x 125. After the third it will reach 2/5 x 2/5 x 125. After the fourth it will reach 2/5 x 2/5 x 2/5 x 125. This cancels down to 2 x 2 x 2 = 8).

Two sets of 4 consecutive positive integers have exactly one integer in common. The sum of the integers in the set with greater numbers is how much greater than the sum of the integers in the other set?

12 (If two sets of four consecutive integers have one integer in common, the total in the combined set is 7., and we can write the sets as
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3 ) and
(n + 3) + (n + 4) + (n + 5) + (n + 6)
Note that each term in the second set is 3 more than the equivalent term in the first set. Since there are four terms the total of the differences will be 4 x 3 = 12).
