1. What is the sum of 3/7, 4/7, and 2/7?
- A. 7/7
- B. 9/7
- C. 6/7
- D. 7/7
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the sum of fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators. Here, 3/7 + 4/7 + 2/7 = (3 + 4 + 2)/7 = 9/7. Therefore, the correct answer is 9/7. Choice A (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7. Choice C (6/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 6/7. Choice D (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7.
2. A delivery of medical supplies includes 36 boxes. If each box weighs 2.5 pounds, what is the total weight of the delivery?
- A. 90 pounds
- B. 75 pounds
- C. 120 pounds
- D. 100 pounds
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the total weight of the delivery, you need to multiply the number of boxes (36) by the weight of each box (2.5 pounds). This gives you 36 boxes * 2.5 pounds = 90 pounds, which is the correct answer. Choice B (75 pounds), C (120 pounds), and D (100 pounds) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total weight based on the given information.
3. A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles she ran in 1 hour. The second set of 6 miles in 1.2 hours. The third set of 6 miles in 1.5 hours. The fourth set of 6 miles in 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?
- A. 5 hours
- B. 5.3 hours
- C. 4 hours
- D. 6 hours
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the total time, add the times for each set of 6 miles: 1 + 1.2 + 1.5 + 1.6 = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the 24-mile course. Choice A, 5 hours, is incorrect because the total time is slightly more than that. Choice C, 4 hours, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total time taken. Choice D, 6 hours, is incorrect as it's an overestimation of the actual time taken.
4. 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.
5. What is the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120?
- A. 10
- B. 9.892
- C. 10.122
- D. 9.012
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120, you need to subtract the two numbers: 0.120 - 10.012 = -9.892. The correct answer is B, 9.892. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction operation and result.
