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 correct answer is C: Early afternoon to bedtime. The healthcare professional's work hours from 1300 to 2000 correspond to 1 PM to 8 PM, indicating work during the afternoon and early evening. Choice A (Early morning to early afternoon) is incorrect because the professional works in the afternoon and early evening, not the morning. Choice B (Lunchtime to midnight) is incorrect as the professional finishes work before midnight, not until midnight. Choice D (Midnight to sunrise) is incorrect as the professional's work hours are during the daytime and evening, not overnight.

2. Sally eats 3/5 of her lunch. John eats 75%. Who ate more?

• A. John
• B. Sally
• C. Both the same
• D. Neither

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To compare, convert both to decimals or percentages: Sally ate 3/5, which is 0.6 or 60%. John ate 75%. Since 75% is greater than 60%, John ate more than Sally. Thus, the correct answer is A. John. Choice B is incorrect because Sally ate a smaller percentage of her lunch compared to John. Choice C is incorrect as the percentages consumed are different. Choice D is incorrect as one of them ate more.

3. What is the cost of building a fence around a square lawn with an area of 62,500 square meters at a rate of $5 per meter?

• A. $4,000
• B. $4,500
• C. $5,000
• D. $5,500

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the cost of building a fence around the square lawn, first calculate the length of one side by finding the square root of the area: √62500 = 250 meters (length of one side). The perimeter of a square is four times the length of one side, so the perimeter of the lawn is 4 * 250 = 1000 meters. To find the cost of the fence, multiply the perimeter by the cost per meter: 1000 meters * $5/meter = $5000. Therefore, the correct answer is $5,000, which corresponds to choice C. Choice A ($4,000), choice B ($4,500), and choice D ($5,500) are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the cost based on the given information.

4. A syringe holds 3ml of liquid. How many syringes are needed to measure 15ml of liquid?

• A. 3
• B. 5
• C. 7
• D. 9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since each syringe holds 3ml of liquid, to measure 15ml of liquid, you would need to divide 15ml by 3ml/syringe. This calculation gives you 5 syringes needed to measure 15ml of liquid. Choice A (3 syringes) is incorrect because 3 syringes would only hold 9ml of liquid, not 15ml. Choice C (7 syringes) and Choice D (9 syringes) are incorrect as they would result in an excess amount of liquid, which is not needed.

5. The recipe called for 3 1/2 pints of sour cream. How many cups of sour cream would that be equivalent to?

• A. 5 cups
• B. 7 cups
• C. 6 cups
• D. 4 cups

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 3 1/2 pints of sour cream to cups, knowing that 1 pint equals 2 cups, we multiply 3.5 by 2, resulting in 7 cups. Therefore, the equivalent amount of sour cream in cups is 7 cups. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor. Choice C is incorrect as it does not account for the accurate conversion from pints to cups. Choice D is incorrect as it underestimates the conversion by not multiplying the pints by the correct factor.
