1. A car travels 60 miles per hour for 2.5 hours. How far does the car travel?

• A. 120 miles
• B. 150 miles
• C. 180 miles
• D. 170 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance traveled, multiply the speed of the car (60 miles per hour) by the time it traveled (2.5 hours): 60 miles/hour * 2.5 hours = 150 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total distance traveled by the car.

2. A die is rolled. What is the probability of getting 5?

• A. 16.67%
• B. 20%
• C. 50%
• D. 83.33%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 16.67%. When rolling a standard 6-sided die, each face has an equal probability of 1/6. Therefore, the probability of rolling a 5 specifically is 1/6, which is approximately 16.67% when converted to a percentage. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct probability of rolling a 5 on a standard die.

3. A stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 100cm
• B. 125cm
• C. 150cm
• D. 175cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Since a stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm, the perimeter can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all five sides. - Perimeter = 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm = 125cm - Therefore, the perimeter of the stop sign is 125cm.

4. What is the average of the numbers 14, 73, and 7?

• A. 28.57
• B. 30.57
• C. 29.56
• D. 31.33

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Adding 14 + 73 + 7 gives a total of 94. To find the average, we divide the sum by the number of values (3), which equals 31.33. Rounding this average to two decimal places gives us 31.33, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the average of the given numbers. Choice A is close to the sum of the numbers, not the average. Choices B and C are also not correct averages calculated from the provided numbers.

5. Sergeant Kellogg had his men line up at 3:40 P.M. What would that be in military time?

• A. 340
• B. 3040
• C. 1500
• D. 1540

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In military time, the 24-hour clock is used. 3:40 P.M. in standard time would be 1540 in military time. To convert from standard time to military time, you keep the hour number the same for afternoon and evening hours but add 12 to afternoon hours. Choice A (340) is incorrect as it doesn't follow the military time format. Choice B (3040) is incorrect as military time uses a maximum of four digits. Choice C (1500) is incorrect as it represents 3:00 P.M. in military time, not 3:40 P.M.
