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. How many kilometers are there in 12 miles?

• A. 7.5 kilometers
• B. 13.2 kilometers
• C. 19.2 kilometers
• D. 22 kilometers

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to kilometers, you can use the conversion factor of 1 mile is equal to 1.609 kilometers. Therefore, to find the number of kilometers in 12 miles, you can multiply 12 miles by 1.609 to get 19.2 kilometers. The correct answer is 19.2 kilometers, making choice C the correct option. Choice A (7.5 kilometers) is incorrect because it represents half the correct conversion. Choice B (13.2 kilometers) is incorrect as it does not apply the correct conversion factor. Choice D (22 kilometers) is incorrect and represents an incorrect conversion calculation.

3. Solve for x: x/5 = 3/10.

• A. x = 0.6
• B. x = 0.6
• C. x = 0.9
• D. x = 1.5

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To solve for x when x/5 = 3/10, you need to cross-multiply. This gives you 10x = 5 × 3. Simplifying further, you get x = 15/10, which reduces to x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 1.5. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the correct calculation for x.

4. Lulu is 5 years younger than her sister, who is 7 years older than their 15-year-old cousin. How old is Lulu?

• A. 27
• B. 22
• C. 19
• D. 17

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Let Lulu's sister's age be x. According to the given information, x = 15 (cousin's age) + 7 = 22. So, Lulu's sister is 22 years old. Since Lulu is 5 years younger than her sister, Lulu's age is 22 - 5 = 17. Therefore, Lulu is 17 years old. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the calculations based on the information provided in the question.

5. X/4 = 9/x, solve for x.

• A. x = 6
• B. x = 3
• C. x = 9
• D. x = 2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve X/4 = 9/x, cross multiply to get x^2 = 36. Taking the square root of both sides gives x = 6. Choice A is correct because x = 6 satisfies the equation x^2 = 36. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation when substituted back into it.
