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. Given 15:x=3:8, find x.

• A. x=40
• B. x=20
• C. x=30
• D. x=10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find x, we set up the proportion 15:x = 3:8. Cross multiply to get 15*8 = 3*x, which simplifies to 120 = 3x. Dividing by 3 on both sides gives x = 40. Therefore, x=40 is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not match the correct calculation. Option B results from incorrectly dividing 15 by 3 instead of multiplying it by 8. Option C comes from dividing 15 by 3, and Option D is the result of dividing 15 by 8 instead of multiplying by 3.

3. Write the date 2007 in Roman numerals.

• A. MMVII
• B. MDVII
• C. MMDII
• D. MMXD

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In Roman numerals, the date 2007 is correctly represented as MMVII. The Roman numeral M stands for 1000, and when repeated twice (MM), it represents 2000. The Roman numeral V represents 5, and when followed by II (two ones), it correctly represents 2007. Choice B (MDVII) is incorrect because D represents 500, and 2007 is greater than that. Choice C (MMDII) is incorrect because D represents 500, and there are two of them, making it 1000, not 2000. Choice D (MMXD) is incorrect as XD is an invalid Roman numeral combination.

4. What is the result of the expression 47/57 + 65/75?

• A. 1 23/35
• B. 2 1/3
• C. 1 2/3
• D. 1 5/6

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 57 * 75 = 4275. So, (47*75 + 65*57) / 4275 = (3525 + 3705) / 4275 = 7230 / 4275. Simplifying this fraction gives 1 23/35. Choice B: 2 1/3 is incorrect as the correct result is not a mixed number. Choice C: 1 2/3 is incorrect as it does not match the simplified result of the expression. Choice D: 1 5/6 is incorrect as it is a different value from the correct result obtained by adding the fractions.

5. Which number is the highest among 0.077, 0.777, 0.08, and 0.87?

• A. 0.077
• B. 0.777
• C. 0.08
• D. 0.87

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine the highest number among 0.077, 0.777, 0.08, and 0.87, we compare the numbers. 0.87 is greater than 0.777, 0.08, and 0.077, making it the highest number. Choice A (0.077), Choice B (0.777), and Choice C (0.08) are lower numbers compared to 0.87, so they are incorrect.
