1. What is the result of adding 9.43 and 11.3?

• A. 20.73
• B. 21.3
• C. 22
• D. 19.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 20.73. To calculate the sum of 9.43 and 11.3, you simply add the two numbers together. Therefore, 9.43 + 11.3 equals 20.73. Choice B (21.3) is incorrect because it represents the sum of rounding the numbers up. Choice C (22) and choice D (19.5) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the sum of the provided numbers.

2. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 3/4 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

• A. 25 mL
• B. 22.5 mL
• C. 15 mL
• D. 20 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, multiply the number of ounces by 29.5735. 3/4 oz × 29.5735 ≈ 22.5 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.5 mL. Choice A (25 mL) is incorrect as it does not result from the correct conversion. Choices C (15 mL) and D (20 mL) are also incorrect conversions.

3. Farmer Juan finds that it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours. How many chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours?

• A. 48
• B. 18
• C. 8
• D. 6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If 2 chickens produce 6 eggs in 24 hours, to produce 24 eggs in the same time frame, you would need 8 chickens. Therefore, Choice C is correct. Choice A (48) is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of chickens required. Choice B (18) is incorrect as it does not consider the proportional relationship between chickens and eggs. Choice D (6) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the increased number of eggs.

4. Lights out on the base is at 10:30 P.M. What would that be in military time?

• A. 1030
• B. 1300
• C. 1230
• D. 2230

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In military time, the time of 10:30 P.M. is represented as 2230. Military time follows a 24-hour clock system where hours are not converted to a 12-hour clock. Each hour is represented from 00 to 23. Therefore, 10:30 P.M. in military time is 2230. Choice A, 1030, is incorrect as it represents 10:30 A.M. Choice B, 1300, stands for 1:00 P.M., and Choice C, 1230, is equivalent to 12:30 P.M. Hence, the correct answer is D.

5. What is the probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/6. A six-sided die has one face with a '2' out of six possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the specific probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die.
