This summer it rained 2.6 inches in June, 3.1 inches in July, and 2.4 inches in August. What is the percent of decrease in rainfall from last summer to this summer?

]]> The standard placement for caution signs is 8 feet above the surface of the road. Because of a small hill and a dip just before the sign, workers were instructed to place the sigh 12% higher than normal. How high above the surface of the road should the caution sign be placed?

]]> The employees at three DMV locations in Maryville practice regular rotation between the uptown, midtown and downtown location. At any given time, approximately one-half of the employees work in the mid-town location and one fifth of the employees work uptown. How many of the employees work downtown if the total number of employees in Marysville equals 420?

]]> Jordan works at the downtown DMV location in Maryville. One of his jobs is to track information on the customers that visit his branch. From three forty-five until five thirty p.m., there were 40 customers at station 1. What is the average length of time each customer spent at station one?

]]> If it is one hour and 45 minutes until quitting time, and a worker spends an average of 5 minutes with each customer, how long past quitting time would it take to see 40 customers?

]]> A train is carrying 161,632 barrels of fuel cans marked with yellow, red, green and blue labels. If three-eighths of the barrels have red labels, one-sixteenth have green labels and one-eighth have yellow labels, what fraction of the barrels have blue labels?
