1. A bottle of hand sanitizer contains 70% alcohol. If 5ml of sanitizer are used, how much pure alcohol is present?

• A. 1.4ml
• B. 2.1ml
• C. 2.8ml
• D. 3.5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - If the hand sanitizer contains 70% alcohol, it means that 70% of the 5ml used is pure alcohol. - To find the amount of pure alcohol present, we calculate 70% of 5ml: 0.7 * 5ml = 3.5ml. - Therefore, when 5ml of sanitizer are used, there are 3.5ml of pure alcohol present.

2. What is the result of adding 6 3/4 + 8 1/6?

• A. 14 11/12
• B. 12 3/4
• C. 12 3/24
• D. 14 2/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions: 6 3/4 = 27/4 and 8 1/6 = 49/6. Then, add the fractions to get 27/4 + 49/6 = 162/24 + 98/24 = 260/24 = 21 20/24 = 21 10/12 = 21 5/6 = 14 11/12. Therefore, the correct answer is 14 11/12. Choice B (12 3/4) is incorrect as it does not match the correct calculation. Choice C (12 3/24) is incorrect due to the erroneous denominator in the final fraction. Choice D (14 2/5) is incorrect as it does not correspond to the correct sum of the fractions.

3. 5 1\3 + 3 1\2.

• A. 8 5/6
• B. 9
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 5 1\3 + 3 1\2 equals 8 5\6.

4. What is the probability of getting a 1 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of getting a '1' on a six-sided die is 1 out of 6 possible outcomes, making it a 1/6 probability. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct probability of rolling a '1' on a standard six-sided die.

5. Convert the following military time to regular time: 15:17:52.

• A. 2:17 PM
• B. 3:17 PM
• C. 5:17 AM
• D. 9:17 AM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, subtract 12 from the hours if it is 13 or greater. In this case, 15:17:52 becomes 3:17:52 PM. Choice A (2:17 PM) is incorrect as it doesn't adjust for the 12-hour conversion. Choice C (5:17 AM) and Choice D (9:17 AM) are incorrect as they don't reflect the correct conversion from military time to regular time.
