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. Find the value of x if x:15=120:225.

• A. x=8
• B. x=10
• C. x=6
• D. x=12

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve x:15=120:225, set it up as a proportion: x/15 = 120/225. Simplify the right-hand side: 120/225 = 8/15. Now, solve for x by cross-multiplying: x = 8. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculations.

3. Roger's car gets an average of 25 miles per gallon. If his gas tank holds 16 gallons, how far can he drive on a full tank?

• A. 41 miles
• B. 100 miles
• C. 400 miles
• D. 320 miles

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the distance Roger can drive on a full tank, multiply the number of gallons in his tank by the average miles per gallon his car gets. 16 gallons x 25 miles per gallon = 400 miles. Therefore, Roger can drive 400 miles on a full tank. Choice A (41 miles) is incorrect as it does not consider the tank's full capacity. Choice B (100 miles) is incorrect as it does not account for the full tank's capacity and the average miles per gallon. Choice D (320 miles) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total distance based on the given information.

4. Add 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5. Express the result as a mixed number.

• A. 3 & 39/40
• B. 3 & 22/23
• C. 22/23
• D. 2 & 39/40

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, find a common denominator, which in this case is 40. Convert each fraction to have the common denominator: 7/8 = 35/40, 9/10 = 36/40, and 6/5 = 48/40. Add these fractions to get 119/40. Simplify this improper fraction to a mixed number, which is 3 & 39/40. Choice B and C are incorrect as they do not represent the sum of the fractions. Choice D is incorrect; the whole number part should be 3, not 2.

5. What is the result of adding 7/21 + 10/21?

• A. 17/21
• B. 15/21
• C. 9/21
• D. 10/21

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When adding fractions with the same denominator, you simply add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. In this case, 7/21 + 10/21 = 17/21. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (15/21) is incorrect because it adds the numerators incorrectly. Choice C (9/21) is incorrect as it does not reflect the sum of the fractions provided. Choice D (10/21) is also incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the two fractions.
