1. What is 25% of 200?

• A. 50
• B. 60
• C. 25
• D. 30

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 25% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.25. So, to calculate 25% of 200, you do 0.25 × 200 = 50. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (60) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 30% of 200. Choice C (25) is incorrect as it represents 12.5% of 200. Choice D (30) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 15% of 200.

2. 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.

3. How many ounces are in a ton?

• A. 32,000 ounces
• B. 30,000 ounces
• C. 35,000 ounces
• D. 40,000 ounces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 32,000 ounces. A ton is equivalent to 2,000 pounds. Since each pound contains 16 ounces, you can calculate the total number of ounces in a ton by multiplying 2,000 pounds by 16 ounces, which equals 32,000 ounces. Choice B (30,000 ounces), Choice C (35,000 ounces), and Choice D (40,000 ounces) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the number of ounces in a ton based on the conversion of pounds to ounces.

4. If you have 4 kilograms, how many grams would you have?

• A. 400 grams
• B. 4000 grams
• C. 40 grams
• D. 100 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the metric system, there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply the number of kilograms by 1000. Therefore, 4 kilograms would equal 4000 grams. Choice A (400 grams) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying by 100, not 1000. Choice C (40 grams) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing by 1000 instead of multiplying. Choice D (100 grams) is incorrect as it is a random figure and not the correct conversion from kilograms to grams.

5. A hospital receives a shipment of vitamin tablets. The hospital ordered 6,000 tablets, but the shipment included 1/5 more tablets than the hospital ordered. How many tablets were in the shipment?

• A. 7,200 tablets
• B. 5,000 tablets
• C. 6,500 tablets
• D. 8,000 tablets

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total tablets in the shipment, first, calculate 1/5 of 6,000: 6,000 * 1/5 = 1,200. Add this to the original order: 6,000 + 1,200 = 7,200 tablets. Therefore, the shipment included 7,200 tablets. Choice B, 5,000 tablets, is incorrect because it does not account for the additional 1/5 of the original order. Choice C, 6,500 tablets, is incorrect as it only considers the original order and not the extra tablets. Choice D, 8,000 tablets, is incorrect as it overestimates the total by not considering the 1/5 more tablets included in the shipment.
