Experience the Quality With Free WorkKeys Exam Questions That Helps Candidates Pass

Set up proportion: 2.5 cups ÷ 12 servings = X ÷ 30 servings. Cross multiply: 2.5 × 30 ÷ 12 = 6.25 cups. Correct: B.

The controlling rule is the 14-day minimum advance notice. The question specifies a submission only 10 days prior, which fails the threshold regardless of other factors. Blackout dates are irrelevant here because the date itself is not blacked out. Supervisor approval is necessary but not sufficient; an approver cannot override explicit timing requirements unless a separate policy provides exceptions (e.g., emergencies). Options C and D introduce conditions (coverage, PTO balance) that the excerpt does not authorize as replacements for notice. WorkKeys emphasizes applying the exact language of a document and avoiding assumptions. The most defensible action per the written rule is to deny due to insufficient notice or to instruct the employee to resubmit within the required timeframe, depending on company practice. Hence, option B correctly interprets the policy.

From 10:00, Machine X is idle during a 0.5-hour setup. If you waited for X alone, it would start at 10:30, then need 50 ÷ 8 = 6.25 hours (≈6 h 15 m) of run time, finishing around 4:45 p.m.—too late. Machine Y at 6/hr alone would need 50 ÷ 6 ≈ 8.33 hours, finishing after 6 p.m. The best strategy is to parallelize: start Y immediately at 10:00; by 10:30, Y has produced 3 units (0.5 h × 6/hr). When X comes online at 10:30, the remaining requirement is 47 units. Running both together yields 8 + 6 = 14 units/hour. Time to finish 47 units at 14/hr ≈ 3.36 hours (≈3 h 22 m). Add the initial 30 minutes: total ≈ 3 h 52 m from 10:00, finishing about 1:52 p.m., comfortably before 3:00. WorkKeys problem-solving emphasizes decomposing the timeline, accounting for setup losses, and exploiting concurrent capacity to meet deadlines.

Expenses = 1,050 + 500 + 400 + 300 = 2,250. Remaining = 2,700 − 2,250 = 450. Correct answer is C ($450). Students often mis-add. Budgeting requires accurate totals.

Option B is specific, clear, and professional. Others are vague. Correct: B.
