1. A solution is 60% alcohol. If 200ml of the solution is used, how much pure alcohol is present?

• A. 100ml
• B. 120ml
• C. 140ml
• D. 160ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If the solution is 60% alcohol, it means that 60% of the solution is alcohol. Therefore, in 200ml of the solution, the amount of alcohol present is: 200ml * 60% = 200ml * 0.60 = 120ml. So, when 200ml of the solution is used, there are 120ml of pure alcohol present. Choice A, 100ml, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct percentage of alcohol in the solution. Choice C, 140ml, and Choice D, 160ml, are incorrect as they overestimate the amount of pure alcohol present in the solution.

2. After the young mother goes shopping and spends $101.85 on groceries, $21.90 at the dry cleaners, and $42.66 at the pet store, she has $200.00 in cash. How much money would she have left after her day of shopping?

• A. $33.59
• B. $29.59
• C. $25.59
• D. $21.59

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, $33.59. To find out how much money she would have left, we need to calculate the total spending by adding the amounts spent at the groceries, dry cleaners, and pet store: $101.85 + $21.90 + $42.66 = $166.41. Subtract the total spending from the initial cash amount to determine the remaining cash: $200.00 - $166.41 = $33.59. Choice B, $29.59, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the correct calculation. Choices C and D, $25.59 and $21.59 respectively, are also incorrect as they do not consider the correct total spending amount and subtraction from the initial cash.

3. Convert this military time to regular time: 2120 hours.

• A. 9:20 A.M.
• B. 9:20 P.M.
• C. 2:12 A.M.
• D. 2:12 P.M.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, subtract 12 from the hours if the time is in the afternoon or evening. In this case, 21 - 12 = 9, so 2120 hours is equivalent to 9:20 P.M. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 9:20 P.M. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly adjust the military time to regular time format. Choice A shows 9:20 A.M., which is incorrect as the time is in the evening. Choices C and D show times that are not derived from the given military time, making them incorrect as well.

4. What is the result of dividing 3 by 4?

• A. 5.75
• B. 5.875
• C. 6.25
• D. 0.75

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide 3 by 4, we perform the division operation: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. The correct answer is 0.75 (D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from dividing 3 by 4. Choice A (5.75) is the result of dividing 23 by 4, choice B (5.875) is the result of dividing 7 by 1.2, and choice C (6.25) is the result of multiplying 5 by 1.25.

5. For his daily commute, Paul drives about 115 miles round trip. If he fills up his gas tank with 9 gallons every other day, about how many miles per gallon is his car averaging?

• A. 12.8
• B. 23
• C. 25.6
• D. 57.5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the miles per gallon Paul's car is averaging, we first need to determine the miles he drives on 9 gallons of gas. Since he drives about 115 miles round trip daily, he covers approximately 115/2 = 57.5 miles one way. If he fills up his gas tank with 9 gallons every other day, he covers 115 miles every 2 days. This means his car is averaging around 57.5 miles per 9 gallons, which equals approximately 6.38 miles per gallon. As he uses 9 gallons every other day, his car averages about 6.38 * 2 = 12.76 miles per gallon. Among the given options, the closest value to this calculation is option C, 25.6 miles per gallon. Choice A is incorrect because it does not accurately reflect the mileage per gallon calculation. Choice B is incorrect as it is not the closest to the calculated value. Choice D is incorrect as it is significantly higher than the calculated mileage per gallon.
