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 nurse works in the military hospital from 1300 to 2000. How many hours does this nurse work?

• A. 8 hours
• B. 11 hours
• C. 7 hours
• D. 12 hours

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The nurse works from 1300 to 2000, which is a 7-hour period. To calculate the hours worked, subtract the start time from the end time: 2000 - 1300 = 700, which is equal to 7 hours. Choice A, 8 hours, is incorrect as it does not reflect the actual duration. Choice B, 11 hours, is incorrect as it overestimates the hours worked. Choice D, 12 hours, is incorrect as it is also an overestimation of the hours worked.

3. Solve for x: x + 44 / 2x = 11.

• A. 13
• B. 33
• C. 55
• D. 2.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation x + 44 / 2x = 11, first, divide 44 by 2x to simplify it to x + 22/x = 11. Multiply through by x to clear the fraction, resulting in x^2 + 22 = 11x. Rearrange the terms to get x^2 - 11x + 22 = 0. Factor the quadratic equation to (x - 11)(x - 2) = 0. Therefore, x = 11 or x = 2. However, x cannot be 2 as it would make the denominator zero. Hence, x = 13. The correct answer is 13. Choice B (33) is incorrect as it is not a solution to the equation. Choice C (55) is incorrect as it is not a solution to the equation. Choice D (2.5) is incorrect as it is not a whole number and does not satisfy the equation.

4. What is 80% of 55?

• A. 40
• B. 44
• C. 39
• D. 45

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 80% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.8. Therefore, 80% of 55 is calculated as 0.8 × 55 = 44. Choice A (40), choice C (39), and choice D (45) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for 80% of 55.

5. What percentage of 40 is 8?

• A. 20%
• B. 15%
• C. 10%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the percentage of 8 in 40, divide 8 by 40 to get 0.2. Multiply this result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.2 × 100 = 10%. Therefore, 8 is 10% of 40, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect percentages calculated from incorrect divisions and multiplications.
