1. 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.

2. A family uses 12 gallons of water every day. How many gallons do they use in a non-leap year?

• A. 4,120 gallons
• B. 4,380 gallons
• C. 3,840 gallons
• D. 4,350 gallons

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the total gallons the family uses in a non-leap year, you have to multiply the daily consumption by the number of days in a non-leap year. So, 12 gallons/day x 365 days = 4,380 gallons used per year. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect as it provides an inaccurate total by not considering the total days in a year. Choice C is incorrect as it offers a lower value due to not multiplying the daily usage by the total days in a year. Choice D is incorrect as it doesn't accurately calculate the total gallons used in a non-leap year.

3. How many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces?

• A. 4 gallons
• B. 5 gallons
• C. 6 gallons
• D. 3 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to know that there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon. To find how many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces, divide 576 by 128, which equals 4.5 gallons. Since we are looking for the closest whole number, the answer is 4 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.

4. What is the sum of the digits of the number 72?

• A. 6
• B. 5
• C. 9
• D. 7

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the sum of the digits of the number 72, you simply add the individual digits together: 7 + 2 = 9. Therefore, the sum of the digits is 9. Choice A (6), Choice B (5), and Choice D (7) are incorrect as they do not correctly sum up the individual digits of the number 72.

5. Convert this military time to regular time: 0705 hours.

• A. 7:05 A.M.
• B. 7:05 P.M.
• C. 5:07 A.M.
• D. 5:07 P.M.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In military time, 0705 hours translates to 7:05 A.M. Military time follows a 24-hour clock format, so there is no change from A.M. to P.M. like in regular time. Choice B (7:05 P.M.) is incorrect as 0705 hours is in the morning. Choices C (5:07 A.M.) and D (5:07 P.M.) are incorrect due to the incorrect order of hours and minutes.
