1. In a bowling team consisting of 34 members, with 18 being male, if 4 females leave the team, what percent of the remaining members are male?

• A. 50%
• B. 60%
• C. 70%
• D. 55%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After 4 females leave the team, there are 30 members remaining. Out of these, 18 are male. To find the percentage of male members, divide the number of male members (18) by the total number of remaining members (30) and multiply by 100. Percentage of male members = (18/30) * 100 = 60%. Therefore, 60% of the remaining members are male. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the information provided in the question.

2. 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.

3. What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6?

• A. 24
• B. 12
• C. 6
• D. 3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6, we need to determine the smallest number that is a multiple of both 4 and 6. The multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, ... The multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24, ... The least common multiple is the smallest number that appears in both lists. In this case, the least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12, not 24. Therefore, the correct answer is 24. Choice B (12) is actually the least common multiple of 4 and 3, not 4 and 6. Choices C (6) and D (3) are not multiples of both 4 and 6, so they are incorrect.

4. A patient's oxygen flow rate is set at 4 liters per minute. How many cubic centimeters of oxygen are delivered per minute?

• A. 400 cubic centimeters
• B. 4,000 cubic centimeters
• C. 40,000 cubic centimeters
• D. 400,000 cubic centimeters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 1 liter is equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters. Therefore, when the oxygen flow rate is 4 liters per minute, the calculation is 4 x 1,000 = 4,000 cubic centimeters. Hence, at a flow rate of 4 liters per minute, 4,000 cubic centimeters of oxygen are delivered per minute. Choice A, 400 cubic centimeters, is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion from liters to cubic centimeters. Choices C and D, 40,000 cubic centimeters and 400,000 cubic centimeters, respectively, are significantly higher than the correct answer due to incorrect conversions or additional errors in calculation.

5. Convert 104°F to Celsius.

• A. 40°C
• B. 42°C
• C. 39°C
• D. 35°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. Plugging in the value, °C = (104 - 32) x 5/9 = 72 x 5/9 = 40°C. Therefore, 104°F is equal to 40°C. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion.
