3-4-5 Rule
1L = ?mL
1000
The gas to oil ratio is 50:1 for a fuel mix, how much oil do you to 10L of gas
200mL
First. 10L=10000mL
Second. 10,000 * 1 = 10,000
Third. 10,000 / 50 = 200mL
How much oil do you add to 5L of gas if the ratio is 32:1
5L = 5000mL
5000 / 32 = 156mL
Ans = 156mL
Slope = ?
Rise over Run
Angle is expressed as a ?
Degree
Grade is expressed as a ?
Percentage
Slope is expressed as a ?
Ratio
What is the grade percentage of a path that is 7m long with a 35cm rise
First. 7m = 700cm, Convert m to cm
Second. 35 / 700 = 0.05, perform rise/run calculation
Third. 0.05 * 100 = 5%, convert to percentage
1m = ? cm
100cm
1m = ? mm
1000mm
What is the rise of an 80’ long driveway with a grade of 2%
First. x / 80 = 0.02. Rise over run ratio
Second. 0.02 x 80 = 1.6 feet. Perform basic algebra calc. to determine value of the variable.
Third. 0.6 x 12 inches = 7.2 inches. 1.6 feet = 1’ 7 1/4”. Express measurement in feet and inches.

What is the cost of fertlizing a 20,000 lawn 1lb N/1000 sq feet with 23-3-23. The fertlizer comes in 55lb bags at $32 a bag.
Step 1. Calculate the rate. = 1 / .23 = 4.35lbs of product for 1lb of N
Step 2. Determine the quantity of product required for the application. Cross Multiply. 4.35/1000 = x/20,000, 20,000 * 4.35 =87, 000. Then divide the answer by the denominator. 87,00 / 1000 = 87
Step 3. Calculate Cost. 87 / 55lb bag = 1.58 bags. 1.58 * $32/bag = 50.56.
Step 4. What is the cost of the Nitrogen for 1 application. 50.56 * .23 = $11.63
