1. Add: 3 1/8 + 1 1/4.

• A. 4 3/8
• B. 4 1/2
• C. 4 3/4
• D. 5 1/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first add the fractions: 1/8 + 1/4 = 3/8. Then, add the whole numbers: 3 + 1 = 4. Therefore, 3 1/8 + 1 1/4 = 4 3/8. Choice B (4 1/2) is incorrect because the fractions were not added correctly, leading to an incorrect result. Choice C (4 3/4) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the two mixed numbers. Choice D (5 1/4) is incorrect as it provides a result that is higher than the correct sum of the mixed numbers.

2. Round to the nearest whole number: 4748 ÷ 12 =

• A. 372
• B. 384
• C. 396
• D. 412

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the answer, divide 4748 by 12: 4748 ÷ 12 = 395.666... Since we are rounding to the nearest whole number, we round up to 396 because the decimal part (.666) is greater than .5. Choice A (372) is too low as it does not account for the decimal value. Choice B (384) is also too low. Choice D (412) is too high as it goes beyond the correct rounded value.

3. Convert 2100 to standard time.

• A. 12:00 PM
• B. 2:00 AM
• C. 9:00 PM
• D. 2:00 PM

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Military time is based on a 24-hour clock. To convert 2100 hours to standard time, subtract 1200 from the time if it is greater than or equal to 1300. In this case, 2100 - 1200 = 900, which corresponds to 9:00 PM in standard time. Choice A, 12:00 PM, is incorrect because 2100 is in the evening, not noon. Choice B, 2:00 AM, is incorrect as it represents the early morning hours. Choice D, 2:00 PM, is incorrect as it is in the afternoon, not the evening.

4. What is the product of 375 and 2.3?

• A. 862.5
• B. 750
• C. 225.75
• D. 1125

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 375 and 2.3, multiply them: 375 × 2.3 = 862.5. When multiplying by 2.3, it is important to shift the decimal point appropriately after performing the calculation. Choice A, 862.5, is the correct answer. Choice B, 750, is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying 375 by 2. Choice C, 225.75, is incorrect as it appears to be the result of multiplying the numbers in the wrong order. Choice D, 1125, is incorrect as it seems to be the result of multiplying 375 by 3 instead of 2.3.

5. A car travels 60 miles per hour for 2.5 hours. How far does the car travel?

• A. 120 miles
• B. 150 miles
• C. 180 miles
• D. 170 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance traveled, multiply the speed of the car (60 miles per hour) by the time it traveled (2.5 hours): 60 miles/hour * 2.5 hours = 150 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total distance traveled by the car.
