CCAT rate & work problems questions
Math & LogicWork out distance, speed, time, and shared-work rates without a calculator.
How to solve these
Work out distance, speed, time, and shared-work rates without a calculator. The fastest route is to learn one repeatable method and then drill it under the clock. Start a free set to build the pattern recognition that makes these quick.
Worked example
Answer shownAn original, CCAT-style item with the full reasoning. This is the kind of question you will drill.
A car travels at 30 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it go, in km?
Answer: E. Here is why:
- Distance = rate × time = 30 × 2 = 60 km.
Frequently asked questions
What are CCAT rate & work problems questions?
Work out distance, speed, time, and shared-work rates without a calculator. They fall under the Math & Logic part of the CCAT, mixed in among the other types across the 50-question test.
How many rate & work problems questions are on the CCAT?
The CCAT does not label or fix the count per type. Items are mixed, so you cannot predict how many rate & work problems questions you will see. Training every type is the only reliable preparation.
How do I get faster at rate & work problems questions?
Reps under the real clock. However you like to learn, speed only comes from repeated timed practice — and honest per-type numbers show you whether it is working. That feedback loop is the skill the CCAT actually rewards.
