1. What time is 6:30 A.M. in military time?

• A. 0630
• B. 6030
• C. 1503
• D. 1530

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Military time uses a 24-hour clock format where the hours range from 00 to 23. In this format, 6:30 A.M. is expressed as 0630. Choice B (6030) and Choice C (1503) are incorrect as they do not follow the 24-hour clock format. Choice D (1530) represents 3:30 P.M., not 6:30 A.M.

2. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains ½ oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

• A. 10 mL
• B. 15 mL
• C. 20 mL
• D. 25 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, we know that 1 ounce is approximately 30 mL. Therefore, 0.5 ounces would be half of that, which is 15 mL. So, 0.5 oz of perfume is equal to 15 mL. Choice A (10 mL), Choice C (20 mL), and Choice D (25 mL) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from ounces to milliliters.

3. Divide: 11 ÷ 5 =

• A. 1.424
• B. 1.622
• C. 2.2
• D. 2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 11 by 5, you need to perform the division operation. 11 divided by 5 equals 2.2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (1.424) and Choice B (1.622) are incorrect as they do not result from the division of 11 by 5. Choice D (2) is close but not accurate, as the exact result of 11 divided by 5 is 2.2.

4. Convert 5 3/4 to a decimal. Round to the nearest tenth.

• A. 5.75
• B. 5.7
• C. 5.8
• D. 6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 5 3/4 to a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4) to get 0.75. Adding this to the whole number 5 results in 5.75. When rounding to the nearest tenth, 5.75 rounds to 5.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.8. Choice A, 5.75, is the result before rounding to the nearest tenth. Choice B, 5.7, is incorrect as it does not account for the 0.05 difference when rounding. Choice D, 6, is the next whole number and is not the correct decimal equivalent of 5 3/4.

5. 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.
