1. A worker's schedule is written in military time, and shows their shift is from 1500 to 0100. When will they get off work?

• A. A little bit after midnight
• B. 1:00 AM
• C. 3:00 AM
• D. 12:30 AM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.

2. Convert 9/10 to a decimal.

• A. 0.7
• B. 0.8
• C. 0.9
• D. 1

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 9/10 to a decimal, divide 9 by 10: 9 ÷ 10 = 0.9. The correct answer is 0.9. Choice A (0.7) is incorrect as 7/10 is equal to 0.7. Choice B (0.8) is incorrect as 8/10 is equal to 0.8. Choice D (1) is incorrect as 10/10 would be equal to 1.

3. What is the product of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55?

• A. 2,468.64
• B. 2,500.00
• C. 2,450.45
• D. 2,470.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When multiplying decimal numbers like 44.44 and 55.55, align them properly and multiply each place accurately. To find the product of 44.44 and 55.55, you get 2,468.64. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 2,468.64. Choice B, 2,500.00, is incorrect as it is the result of rounding up. Choice C, 2,450.45, is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55. Choice D, 2,470.00, is incorrect as it is not the correct product of 44.44 and 55.55.

4. Change the following percentage to a decimal: 58%

• A. 0.58
• B. 5
• C. 0
• D. 0

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, move the decimal point two places to the left. Therefore, 58% as a decimal is 0.58. Choice B, 5, is incorrect as it does not represent the conversion of a percentage to a decimal. Choices C and D, both 0, are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion of 58% to a decimal.

5. A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles she ran in 1 hour. The second set of 6 miles in 1.2 hours. The third set of 6 miles in 1.5 hours. The fourth set of 6 miles in 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?

• A. 5 hours
• B. 5.3 hours
• C. 4 hours
• D. 6 hours

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total time, add the times for each set of 6 miles: 1 + 1.2 + 1.5 + 1.6 = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the 24-mile course. Choice A, 5 hours, is incorrect because the total time is slightly more than that. Choice C, 4 hours, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total time taken. Choice D, 6 hours, is incorrect as it's an overestimation of the actual time taken.
