Rochelle drives 40 miles to work everyday. If she drives 55 mph the whole way, how long will it take for her to get to work? • 46.33 minutes • 43.63 minutes • 43.36 minutes • 43.33 minutes at 55 mph, she will travel 55 miles in 60 minutes (one hour) but to travel 40 miles at the same rate, how long would it take? let’s set up an equation and cross-multiply… 55x = 2400 x = 43.63 minutes
It takes Connor 12.68 minutes to get to school. How long does it take him to get here? • 12 minutes and .68 seconds • 12 minutes and 41 seconds • 12 minutes and 68 seconds • 13 minutes and 8 seconds In the question, the .68 represents 68 hundredth’s of a minute we must find out how many seconds are in 68 hundredth’s of a minute… let’s set up an equation and cross-multiply… 100x = 4080 x = 40.8
Michelle lives 10 miles from school. How much longer would it take her to get here if she drove 35 mph instead of 45 mph? • 17 m 14 s • 13 m 33 s • 3 m 18 s • 3 m 49 s Looks like we need to set up an equation for each scenario to find the difference in time. We’ll do it the same way we did the first two today. 35x = 600 x = 17.14 minutes 45x = 600 x = 13.33 minutes So if she drives 35 mph, it will take her 3.81 minutes longer to get to school. Now we need to turn .81 (hundredths) into seconds…more cross multiplying… 100x = 4860 x = 48.6 seconds so which answer is the best?
According to National Highway Safety Administration statistics, we each have about a 1 in 100 chance of dying in a car crash. In addition, the probability of death pretty much doubles for every 10 mph over 50mph that a vehicle travels. If Rochelle routinely drives 70 mph back and forth from work, what are her chances of dying in a car crash? • 1 in 50 • 1 in 25 • 1 in 10 • 1 in 5 increasing to 60 mph, her risk would double from a 1% chance to a 2% chance increasing to 70 mph would double her risk again… from 2% to 4% 4% is the same as…

425. • Select the best definition for prognosticate. • predict • foretell • prophesize • all of the above
Groundhog Day is an annual holiday celebrated on February 2. It is held in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see its shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter will soon end. If on the other hand, the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks. The holiday, which began as a Pennsylvania German custom in southeastern and central Pennsylvania in the 18th and 19th centuries, has its origins in ancient European weather lore, wherein a badger or sacred bear is the prognosticator as opposed to a groundhog. The holiday also bears some similarities to the medieval Catholic holiday of Candlemas. It also bears similarities to the Pagan festival of Imbloc, the seasonal turning point of the Celtic calendar, which is celebrated on February 1 and also involves weather prognostication. Modern customs of the holiday involve celebrations where early morning festivals are held to watch the groundhog emerging from its burrow. In southeastern Pennsylvania, Groundhog Lodges (Grundsow Lodges) celebrate the holiday with fersommlinge, social events in which food is served, speeches are made, and one or more g'spiel (plays or skits) are performed for entertainment. The Pennsylvania German dialect is the only language spoken at the event, and those who speak English pay a penalty, usually in the form of a nickel, dime or quarter, per word spoken, put into a bowl in the center of the table.

ANSWERS • D • A • A • B • B • B • C • C • A • A On the PSAE, there is no exact formula that determines what Level you are labeled. However, for the most part, as soon as you miss your 2nd question, that is where you are labeled. FYI, using these timing intervals on the actual PSAE would result in 30 seconds left-over to fill in bubbles on the last 9 questions of the test (3 Level 6’s and all 6 Level 7’s). Also, if you are going to achieve a Level 7, you should be able to set up your own intervals!!!
