1. Convert this military time to regular time: 1010 hours.

• A. 10:10 A.M.
• B. 10:10 P.M.
• C. 1:01 A.M.
• D. 1:01 P.M.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, we can drop the first two digits if they are less than 12. 1010 hours can be converted to 10:10 A.M. because it is before noon (12:00 P.M.). Military time operates on a 24-hour clock system, with 0000 hours indicating midnight and 1200 hours representing noon. Therefore, in this case, 1010 corresponds to 10:10 A.M. Choice B (10:10 P.M.) is incorrect as 1010 hours is in the morning, not the evening. Choices C (1:01 A.M.) and D (1:01 P.M.) are incorrect as they do not match the given military time of 1010 hours.

2. If 7 is to 9 as x is to 63, find the value of x.

• A. x = 49
• B. x = 39
• C. x = 50
• D. x = 59

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the value of x, set up the proportion 7/9 = x/63. Cross multiply to get 7*63 = 9*x. This simplifies to 441 = 9x. Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x, giving x = 49. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (x = 39), Choice C (x = 50), and Choice D (x = 59) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation based on the proportion set up.

3. Which of these percentages equals 1.25?

• A. 1250%
• B. 25%
• C. 50%
• D. 125%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 1.25 to a percentage, multiply by 100. Therefore, 1.25 equals 125%. The correct answer is D because 125% is the percentage that represents 1.25. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. A (1250%) is 10 times greater than the correct answer, B (25%) is 100 times smaller, and C (50%) is 2 times smaller than the correct percentage equivalent of 1.25.

4. Subtract: 15.7 - 9.8 =

• A. 6.1
• B. 8.96
• C. 5.9
• D. 4.30

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the difference between 15.7 and 9.8, you need to subtract 9.8 from 15.7. This operation results in 5.9. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.9. Choice A, 6.1, is incorrect as it represents the result of subtracting 9.8 from 15.9, not 15.7. Choice B, 8.96, is also incorrect as it is not the correct result of the subtraction provided. Choice D, 4.30, is incorrect as well, as it is not the result of subtracting 9.8 from 15.7.

5. A doctor prescribes 150 milligrams of medication to be taken orally every 12 hours. How many grams should the patient take per dose?

• A. 0.015 grams
• B. 0.15 grams
• C. 1.5 grams
• D. 15 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Convert milligrams to grams: 150 milligrams = 150/1000 = 0.15 grams. Therefore, the patient should take 0.15 grams per dose. Choice A (0.015 grams) is incorrect as the decimal point was misplaced, leading to a value that is too small. Choice C (1.5 grams) is incorrect as it represents 10 times the correct value. Choice D (15 grams) is incorrect as it represents 100 times the correct value. The correct conversion from milligrams to grams is 0.15 grams.
