1. Subtract 12 - 7 & 4\5.

• A. 4 & 4\5
• B. 5 & 4\5
• C. 4 & 1\5
• D. 5 & 1\5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 12 - 7 & 4\5 equals 4 & 1\5.

2. 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.

3. A cake recipe calls for 2½ cups of flour. How many cups are needed to make 6 cakes?

• A. 12.5 cups
• B. 13 cups
• C. 14 cups
• D. 15 cups

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To make one cake, you need 2½ cups of flour. To make 6 cakes, you would need 6 times the amount of flour for one cake, which is 2½ x 6 = 15 cups. Therefore, the correct answer is 15 cups. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total amount of flour needed for 6 cakes.

4. How many liters are there in 2,500 milliliters?

• A. 2.5 liters
• B. 25 liters
• C. 250 liters
• D. 25,000 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert 2,500 milliliters to liters, you divide by 1,000: 2,500 milliliters / 1,000 = 2.5 liters. Therefore, choice A, '2.5 liters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '25 liters,' is incorrect as it would be the result if you mistakenly multiplied instead of dividing. Choice C, '250 liters,' is incorrect as it is 100 times the correct answer. Choice D, '25,000 liters,' is significantly higher and not a conversion error but an order of magnitude error.

5. A healthcare professional works in a military hospital from 1300 to 2000. What time of day does this healthcare professional work?

• A. Early morning to early afternoon
• B. Lunchtime to midnight
• C. Early afternoon to bedtime
• D. Midnight to sunrise

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The shift from 1300 (1:00 PM) to 2000 (8:00 PM) corresponds to early afternoon to bedtime. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as this healthcare professional works during the early afternoon to bedtime hours. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the work hours fall within the early afternoon to evening time frame, not early morning, lunchtime, or midnight to sunrise.
