1. A healthcare professional works in a military hospital from 1300 to 2000. What time of day does this healthcare professional work?

• A. Early morning to early afternoon
• B. Lunchtime to midnight
• C. Early afternoon to bedtime
• D. Midnight to sunrise

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The shift from 1300 (1:00 PM) to 2000 (8:00 PM) corresponds to early afternoon to bedtime. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as this healthcare professional works during the early afternoon to bedtime hours. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the work hours fall within the early afternoon to evening time frame, not early morning, lunchtime, or midnight to sunrise.

2. How many pounds are in 160 ounces?

• A. 10 pounds
• B. 8 pounds
• C. 5 pounds
• D. 12 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.

3. A man is reading. He reads two chapters a day. How long will it take if there are 6 pages per chapter and 798 pages total?

• A. 66 & 1/2
• B. 399
• C. 75 & 1/2
• D. 133

Correct answer: A

Rationale: First, calculate how many pages the man reads per day. Since he reads two chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages: 2 chapters/day × 6 pages/chapter = 12 pages/day Now, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages he reads per day: 798 pages ÷ 12 pages/day = 66 1/2 days Thus, it will take him 66 & 1/2 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 66 & 1/2. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation based on the given information.

4. Add and simplify: 4⅔ + 6½ =

• A. 11â…™
• B. 10â…“
• C. 9â…™
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add 4⅔ and 6½, we first need to convert the fractions to have the same denominator. Converting 4⅔ to 6ths gives us 8/6, and 6½ to 6ths gives us 7/2. Adding them together gives 15/2, which simplifies to 7½ or 9⅙. Therefore, the correct answer is 9⅙. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions after conversion and simplification.

5. How many milligrams are in 7 grams?

• A. 7000 mg
• B. 7 mg
• C. 700 mg
• D. 70 mg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. So, 1,000 x 7 grams = 7,000 mg. This means that there are 7,000 milligrams in 7 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams.
