1. 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.

2. A man is reading. He reads two chapters a day. How long will it take if there are 6 pages per chapter and 798 pages total?

• A. 66 & 1/2
• B. 399
• C. 75 & 1/2
• D. 133

Correct answer: A

Rationale: First, calculate how many pages the man reads per day. Since he reads two chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages: 2 chapters/day × 6 pages/chapter = 12 pages/day Now, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages he reads per day: 798 pages ÷ 12 pages/day = 66 1/2 days Thus, it will take him 66 & 1/2 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 66 & 1/2. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation based on the given information.

3. If Randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice, and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, on average, how many does Randy sell each month?

• A. 4,600
• B. 5,520
• C. 6,400
• D. 8,320

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, Randy sells 8 times that amount, which is 690 x 8 = 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year. To find out how many Randy sells each month, you divide 5,520 by 12 (months), which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Therefore, Randy sells 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year divided by 12 months, which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the information provided.

4. Convert 2100 to standard time.

• A. 12:00 PM
• B. 2:00 AM
• C. 9:00 PM
• D. 2:00 PM

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Military time is based on a 24-hour clock. To convert 2100 hours to standard time, subtract 1200 from the time if it is greater than or equal to 1300. In this case, 2100 - 1200 = 900, which corresponds to 9:00 PM in standard time. Choice A, 12:00 PM, is incorrect because 2100 is in the evening, not noon. Choice B, 2:00 AM, is incorrect as it represents the early morning hours. Choice D, 2:00 PM, is incorrect as it is in the afternoon, not the evening.

5. What number is 44 equal to 25% of?

• A. 176
• B. 150
• C. 180
• D. 120

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number, let it be x. The equation is 44 = 0.25 * x. Dividing both sides by 0.25 gives x = 44 / 0.25 = 176. Therefore, 44 is equal to 25% of 176. Choice A is correct because 176 is the number that 44 is equal to 25% of. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 44 = 0.25 * x.
