1. 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.

2. Which of the following percentages is equal to 0.45?

• A. 4.5%
• B. 0.045%
• C. 0.45%
• D. 45%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 0.45 to a percentage, you multiply by 100: 0.45 × 100 = 45%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 45%. Choice A, 4.5%, is incorrect. This percentage would be equal to 0.045, not 0.45. Choice B, 0.045%, is also incorrect. It represents 0.045, not 0.45. Choice C, 0.45%, is very close to the correct answer but actually represents 0.0045, not 0.45.

3. If a recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar and you want to make half of the recipe, how many cups of sugar do you need?

• A. 1 cup
• B. 1.5 cups
• C. 2 cups
• D. 0.5 cups

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To make half of the recipe that calls for 2 cups of sugar, you would need 1 cup of sugar. Choice A is correct because half of 2 cups is 1 cup. Choice B (1.5 cups) is incorrect as it is three-quarters of the original amount, not half. Choice C (2 cups) is the amount required for the full recipe, not for half. Choice D (0.5 cups) is half of 1 cup, not half of 2 cups.

4. Which of the following is equivalent to 0.0009?

• A. 0.009%
• B. 0.9%
• C. 0.09%
• D. 9%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 0.0009 to a percentage, you need to multiply by 100. This gives 0.0009 as 0.09%. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choice A, 0.009%, is incorrect because it represents 0.009, not 0.0009. Choice B, 0.9%, is incorrect as it represents 0.9, which is a different value. Choice D, 9%, is also incorrect as it represents 9, not 0.0009.

5. If Mr. Parker owns 150 shares of stock in Stark Industries and receives $180.00 per year in dividends, how much does Mr. Rogers receive for an annual dividend if he owns 400 shares?

• A. $480
• B. $500
• C. $450
• D. $72,000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how much Mr. Rogers receives for an annual dividend with 400 shares, we can set up a proportion: 400 shares is to X dollars as 150 shares is to $180. This gives us 400 * $180 / 150 = $480 in annual dividends. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, $500, is incorrect because it does not consider the proportionality of shares to dividend amount. Choice C, $450, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information. Choice D, $72,000, is significantly higher and incorrect as it does not align with the proportionality of shares and dividends.
