1. 7 is divisible by which of the following numbers?

• A. 2 only
• B. 3 only
• C. 1 and 7 only
• D. 2, 3, and 7

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. 7 is divisible by 1 because every number is divisible by 1. 2. 7 is divisible by 7 because any number is divisible by itself. 3. 7 is not divisible by 2 because 7 is an odd number and not divisible by 2. 4. 7 is not divisible by 3 because the sum of the digits of 7 (7) is not divisible by 3. Therefore, 7 is divisible by 1, 7, and itself (7), making the correct answer D) 2, 3, and 7.

2. A nurse works in the military hospital from 1300 to 2000. How many hours does this nurse work?

• A. 8 hours
• B. 11 hours
• C. 7 hours
• D. 12 hours

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The nurse works from 1300 to 2000, which is a 7-hour period. To calculate the hours worked, subtract the start time from the end time: 2000 - 1300 = 700, which is equal to 7 hours. Choice A, 8 hours, is incorrect as it does not reflect the actual duration. Choice B, 11 hours, is incorrect as it overestimates the hours worked. Choice D, 12 hours, is incorrect as it is also an overestimation of the hours worked.

3. Louise wins $25 in a raffle at the fair. She spends $50 on an apple pie and $25 on lemonade. How much of her winnings does she take home?

• A. $12.75
• B. $16.25
• C. $18.25
• D. $19.50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Louise's total spending is $50 + $25 = $75. To find out how much of her winnings she takes home, we need to subtract her total spending from her winnings: $25 - $75 = -$50. Louise actually loses $50 as she spends more than her winnings. Therefore, she doesn't take home any money and would be in debt by $50. The correct answer is $25 - $75 = -$50, indicating that she does not take home any winnings and is in a deficit.

4. A healthcare professional works in a military hospital from 1300 to 2000. What time of day does this healthcare professional work?

• A. Early morning to early afternoon
• B. Lunchtime to midnight
• C. Early afternoon to bedtime
• D. Midnight to sunrise

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Early afternoon to bedtime. The healthcare professional's work hours from 1300 to 2000 correspond to 1 PM to 8 PM, indicating work during the afternoon and early evening. Choice A (Early morning to early afternoon) is incorrect because the professional works in the afternoon and early evening, not the morning. Choice B (Lunchtime to midnight) is incorrect as the professional finishes work before midnight, not until midnight. Choice D (Midnight to sunrise) is incorrect as the professional's work hours are during the daytime and evening, not overnight.

5. A train travels at a constant speed of 60 mph for 2 hours. How many miles did the train travel?

• A. 120 miles
• B. 180 miles
• C. 100 miles
• D. 240 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the distance traveled by the train, you multiply the speed by the time: 60 mph × 2 hours = 120 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 120 miles. Choice B, 180 miles, is incorrect as it results from multiplying the speed by 3 hours instead of 2. Choice C, 100 miles, is incorrect as it results from multiplying the speed by 1.5 hours. Choice D, 240 miles, is incorrect as it results from multiplying the speed by 4 hours instead of 2.
