1. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6?

• A. 11.41
• B. 5.73
• C. 2.33
• D. 0.57

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 5.73. When dividing 3.44 by 0.6, the calculation is 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. Choice A (11.41) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying, not dividing. Choice C (2.33) and Choice D (0.57) are also incorrect results obtained by incorrect calculations.

2. 5 1\3 + 3 1\2.

• A. 8 5/6
• B. 9
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 5 1\3 + 3 1\2 equals 8 5\6.

3. The plane is due to land at 6:20 P.M. What would that be in military time?

• A. 620
• B. 1820
• C. 6020
• D. 6200

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In military time, the afternoon and evening hours are represented by adding 12 to the standard time. Therefore, 6:20 P.M. would be equivalent to 18:20 in military time. To convert from P.M. to military time, simply add 12 hours to the given time. Choice A, '620,' is incorrect because it does not account for converting to military time. Choice C, '6020,' is incorrect as military time uses a 24-hour clock format, and the hour digit should not exceed 23. Choice D, '6200,' is incorrect as it does not follow the military time format where the hour part ranges from 00 to 23.

4. Solve for x: 3x + 2 = 14

• A. x = 4
• B. x = 2
• C. x = 6
• D. x = 3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 3x + 2 = 14, first, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate 3x: 3x = 12. Then, divide by 3 to solve for x: x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is A, x = 4. Choice B, x = 2, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation. Choice C, x = 6, is incorrect as well since it does not satisfy the equation. Choice D, x = 3, is also incorrect as it does not satisfy the given equation.

5. Multiply: 25 × 4 = and express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.01
• B. 0.1
• C. 1
• D. 10

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To multiply 25 by 4, you get 100. To express the result in decimal form, you divide by 100. Therefore, the result is 1. Choice A (0.01) is incorrect as it represents 1/100, not the result of 25 × 4. Choice B (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 1/10. Choice D (10) is incorrect as it is the result before converting it to decimal form.
