1. Change the following percentage to a decimal: 0.03%

• A. 0.03
• B. 0.0003
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.003

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. Therefore, 0.03% ÷ 100 = 0.0003. The correct answer is B. Choice A (0.03) is incorrect because it does not account for the conversion of percentage to decimal. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it represents 0.03 as 30% rather than 0.03%. Choice D (0.003) is also incorrect as it does not accurately convert 0.03% to a decimal.

2. Convert this military time to regular time: 0705 hours.

• A. 7:05 A.M.
• B. 7:05 P.M.
• C. 5:07 A.M.
• D. 5:07 P.M.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In military time, 0705 hours translates to 7:05 A.M. Military time follows a 24-hour clock format, so there is no change from A.M. to P.M. like in regular time. Choice B (7:05 P.M.) is incorrect as 0705 hours is in the morning. Choices C (5:07 A.M.) and D (5:07 P.M.) are incorrect due to the incorrect order of hours and minutes.

3. 4 7/8 divided by 1 1/6 equals what?

• A. 4 & 6/8
• B. 4 & 7/8
• C. 5 & 8/14
• D. 4 & 5/28

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide 4,7/8 by 1,1/6: Convert to improper fractions: 4,7/8 = 39/8 1,1/6 = 7/6 Divide by multiplying by the reciprocal: 39/8 × 6/7 = 234/56 Simplify: 234/56 = 117/28 or 4,5/28

4. Repeating decimals can be expressed as fractions. Which of the following represents the decimal 0.7777... as a fraction?

• A. 77/1000
• B. 70/99
• C. 777/900
• D. 7/9

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To express the repeating decimal 0.7777... as a fraction, let x = 0.7777... Multiplying both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point to the right gives: 10x = 7.7777... Subtracting the original equation from the new equation eliminates the repeating decimal: 10x - x = 7.7777... - 0.7777... 9x = 7 x = 7/9. Therefore, the decimal 0.7777... can be expressed as the fraction 7/9. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the decimal 0.7777... when converted to a fraction.

5. Sarah had 1 quart of milk. How many ounces of milk is that?

• A. 16 ounces
• B. 24 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
