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

• A. 50%
• B. 20%
• C. 16.60%
• D. 83.30%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (16.60%). When rolling a standard 6-sided die, the probability of getting a 5 is 1/6 or approximately 16.6%. Choice A (50%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of getting a specific number on a coin flip, not a die roll. Choice B (20%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the probability of rolling a 5 on a standard die. Choice D (83.30%) is incorrect as it is the complement of the probability of rolling a 5, which is not asked in the question.

2. 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.

3. Convert this military time to regular time: 1010 hours.

• A. 10:10 A.M.
• B. 10:10 P.M.
• C. 1:01 A.M.
• D. 1:01 P.M.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, we can drop the first two digits if they are less than 12. 1010 hours can be converted to 10:10 A.M. because it is before noon (12:00 P.M.). Military time operates on a 24-hour clock system, with 0000 hours indicating midnight and 1200 hours representing noon. Therefore, in this case, 1010 corresponds to 10:10 A.M. Choice B (10:10 P.M.) is incorrect as 1010 hours is in the morning, not the evening. Choices C (1:01 A.M.) and D (1:01 P.M.) are incorrect as they do not match the given military time of 1010 hours.

4. How many ounces are in 2.5 gallons?

• A. 240 ounces
• B. 160 ounces
• C. 320 ounces
• D. 240 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert gallons to ounces, we need to know that 1 gallon is equal to 128 ounces. Therefore, 2.5 gallons would be 2.5 x 128 = 320 ounces. This makes choice C, '320 ounces,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from gallons to ounces.

5. Express 0.608 as a percent.

• A. 60.8%
• B. 68%
• C. 0%
• D. 6%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percentage sign. Therefore, 0.608 as a percent is 60.8%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (68%) is incorrect because it represents the percentage for a different decimal value. Choice C (0%) is incorrect as it represents 0 as a percentage, not 0.608. Choice D (6%) is incorrect as it also represents a different decimal value, not 0.608.
