Question 1

A car traveled 23 miles in 15 minutes. How many miles per hour was it traveling? (Enter numerical values only).

Accepted Answer

92
We are asked for miles per hour. When we see the word "per", we know that means to divide. You can actually think of "per" as the division sign in the problem. 
Answer = miles / hour
We are given the miles (23). However, we still need to convert 15 minutes into hours since that is what the question is asking for in terms of the rate of speed.
Convert 15 minutes into hours:
15/60 = 0.25 hours
Now we can set up our division problem to find the rate of speed.
23 miles/ 0.25 hours
92 miles/hour
The car was traveling 92 mph.

Question 2

A girl is 12 years old and her brother is twice her age. When the girl is 50 years old, how old will her brother be? (Enter numerical values only).

Accepted Answer

62
At the beginning of the problem, the brother is twice his 12-year-old sister's age (2 × 12 = 24). So, the brother is 24 - 12 = 12 years older than the girl.
When the girl is 50, her brother will still be 12 years older than her.
50 + 12 = 62
He will be 62 years old.

Question 3

A clock lost 4 minutes and 15 seconds in 85 days. How many seconds did it lose per day?

Accepted Answer

3
We are asked for seconds lost per day. When we see the word "per", we know that means to divide. You can actually think of "per" as the division sign in the problem. 
Answer = seconds lost / days
We are given the number of days (85). However, we still need to convert 4 minutes and 15 seconds to just seconds. 
Convert 4 minutes into seconds:
4 x 60 = 240 seconds
Don't forget to add back the 15 seconds from earlier in the problem:
240 + 15 = 255 seconds
So now we have:
Answer = 255 seconds lost / 85 days
Answer = 3 (seconds lost per day)

Question 6

Two of the following proverbs have similar meanings. Which ones are they?

Accepted Answer

When in Rome, do as the Romans do = When you are a visitor somewhere, you should act like the people that live there.
Rome was not built in a day = Rome was a huge empire, but it did not get that way overnight - building great things takes time.
It takes two to tango = Just as one person cannot tango (a Spanish dance that require two people) alone, some situations (usually bad) required two people for it to happen, so both people deserve the blame. This usually refers to a fight.
First things first = Do things in the right order.
Learn to walk before you run = Do things in the right order, specifically from easy to more difficult.
