1. How many pounds are there in 8 kilograms?

• A. 3.6 pounds
• B. 16 pounds
• C. 16.6 pounds
• D. 17.6 pounds

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the number of kilograms by 2.20462. Therefore, 8 kilograms is equal to 8 x 2.20462 = 17.63696 pounds, which can be rounded to 16 pounds. Choice A is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion. Choice C is close to the correct answer but slightly higher. Choice D is incorrect as it is higher than the correct conversion.

2. 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.

3. If the outside temperature is currently 22 degrees on the Celsius scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale?

• A. 56°F
• B. 62°F
• C. 66.5°F
• D. 71.6°F

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: F = (C x 1.8) + 32. Substituting C = 22 into the formula gives: F = (22 x 1.8) + 32 = 39.6 + 32 = 71.6°F. Therefore, the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale when it is 22 degrees Celsius is 71.6°F. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the correct conversion result. Choice A, 56°F, is lower than the correct conversion. Choice B, 62°F, is also lower than the correct conversion. Choice C, 66.5°F, is not a whole number and does not match the precise conversion of 71.6°F. Thus, the correct answer is 71.6°F.

4. A bookshelf has triangular shelves with a base of 40cm and a height of 30cm. The depth of the shelf is 25cm. What is the volume of each shelf?

• A. 3000 cu cm
• B. 3750 cu cm
• C. 5000 cu cm
• D. 7500 cu cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the volume of the triangular shelf, first calculate the area of the triangle (1/2 * base * height) which is (1/2 * 40 * 30) = 600 sq cm. Then, multiply this area by the depth of the shelf (600 * 25) = 15000 cu cm. Therefore, the volume of each shelf is 3750 cu cm. Choice A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume based on the dimensions provided.

5. What is 60% of 150?

• A. 80
• B. 90
• C. 120
• D. 80

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 60% of 150, you multiply 0.6 by 150, which equals 90. Therefore, the correct answer is 90. Choice A (80) is incorrect because it does not represent 60% of 150. Choice C (120) is incorrect as it exceeds 100% of 150. Choice D (80) is a duplicate of choice A and does not accurately represent 60% of 150.
