1. How many milliliters are in 5 pints of water?

• A. 2400 milliliters
• B. 4800 milliliters
• C. 2000 milliliters
• D. 3600 milliliters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2400 milliliters. Since 1 pint is equivalent to 480 milliliters, to find out how many milliliters are in 5 pints, you multiply 480 by 5, which equals 2400 milliliters. Choice B (4800 milliliters) is incorrect because it multiplies 480 by 10 instead of 5. Choice C (2000 milliliters) is incorrect as it incorrectly equates 1 pint to 400 milliliters. Choice D (3600 milliliters) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion of pints to milliliters.

2. A vitamin's expiration date has passed. It was supposed to contain 500 mg of calcium, but it has lost 325 mg of calcium. How many mg of calcium are left?

• A. 175 mg
• B. 135 mg
• C. 185 mg
• D. 200 mg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 175 mg. The vitamin originally contained 500 mg of calcium. After losing 325 mg, the remaining amount of calcium is calculated as 500 mg - 325 mg = 175 mg. Choice B (135 mg) is incorrect because the vitamin lost more calcium than that. Choices C (185 mg) and D (200 mg) are incorrect as they do not consider the amount of calcium lost from the original 500 mg.

3. Change 0.004 to a ratio.

• A. 1:250
• B. 17:40
• C. 9:20
• D. 20:40

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.004 to a ratio, first express it as a fraction. 0.004 = 4/1000 = 1/250. Therefore, the ratio is 1:250. Choice A is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect ratios as they do not represent the equivalent fraction of 0.004.

4. What factor is used to convert pounds to kilograms?

• A. 1.8
• B. 2.2
• C. 2.5
• D. 2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct factor to convert pounds to kilograms is 2.2. To perform the conversion, you need to divide the number of pounds by 2.2. Choice A (1.8) is incorrect as it's not the standard conversion factor. Choice C (2.5) and Choice D (2) are also incorrect factors for converting pounds to kilograms.

5. 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.
