1. A worker's schedule is written in military time, and shows their shift is from 1500 to 0100. When will they get off work?

• A. A little bit after midnight
• B. 1:00 AM
• C. 3:00 AM
• D. 12:30 AM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.

2. In his stamp collection, Bruno has 15 more stamps from Europe than from Africa, and 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa. If he has 27 stamps from Europe, how many Asian stamps does he have?

• A. 12
• B. 22
• C. 30
• D. 40

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since Bruno has 27 stamps from Europe, which is 15 more than from Africa, he must have 27 - 15 = 12 stamps from Africa. Since he also has 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa, he must have 12 + 18 = 30 stamps from Asia. Therefore, Bruno has 30 Asian stamps. Choice A (12) is the number of stamps Bruno has from Africa, not Asia. Choices B (22) and D (40) are not derived from the correct calculations based on the given information.

3. A runner leaves at 7:45 for a morning run at an average speed of 6 mph and returns at 10:00. How many miles did he run?

• A. 11.5 miles
• B. 14.5 miles
• C. 12 miles
• D. 13.5 miles

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The runner left at 7:45 and returned at 10:00, which means he ran for 2 hours and 15 minutes (10:00 - 7:45). At an average speed of 6 mph, in 2.25 hours, he would have covered 6 mph * 2.25 hours = 13.5 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 13.5 miles. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they incorrectly calculate the distance based on the time and speed provided in the question.

4. How many ounces are in 3 quarts?

• A. 64 ounces
• B. 32 ounces
• C. 48 ounces
• D. 96 ounces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: There are 32 ounces in a quart. Therefore, 3 quarts would be equal to 3 quarts x 32 ounces = 96 ounces. The correct answer is D. Choice A, 64 ounces, is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion from quarts to ounces. Choice B, 32 ounces, is the conversion for 1 quart, not 3 quarts. Choice C, 48 ounces, is also an incorrect calculation, not considering the correct conversion rate.

5. Multiply 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5.

• A. 15
• B. 7/16
• C. 8/25
• D. 19

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Calculating 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5 gives you (4 x 1) / (9 x 1) & (4 x 2) / (5 x 5) = 4/9 & 8/25. Therefore, the correct answer is 8/25. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of the fractions provided.
