1. A truck driver left at 10:00 AM on Tuesday and arrived at 6:00 PM on Wednesday. How many hours did he drive?

• A. 28 hours
• B. 32 hours
• C. 27 hours
• D. 15 hours

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 27 hours. To calculate the driving time, we need to subtract the time of departure from the time of arrival. The driver left at 10:00 AM on Tuesday and arrived at 6:00 PM on Wednesday. This means the driver was on the road for a total of 32 hours. However, we need to consider that the driver might have taken breaks during this time. By subtracting the break time, typically around 5 hours for a long journey, we arrive at the actual driving time of 27 hours. Choice A (28 hours) is incorrect as it does not account for breaks. Choice B (32 hours) is incorrect as it does not consider break time. Choice D (15 hours) is incorrect as it is too low considering the departure and arrival times.

2. What is 28% of 100?

• A. 28
• B. 20
• C. 25
• D. 30

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 28. To find 28% of 100, you multiply 0.28 (the decimal equivalent of 28%) by 100. This calculation results in 28. Therefore, 28% of 100 is 28. Choice B, 20, is incorrect as it represents 20% of 100. Choice C, 25, is incorrect as it represents 25% of 100. Choice D, 30, is incorrect as it represents 30% of 100.

3. A honeycomb cell has six equal sides, each measuring 8mm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 32mm
• B. 40mm
• C. 48mm
• D. 56mm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a shape with equal sides, you multiply the length of one side by the number of sides. In this case, the honeycomb cell has 6 sides, each measuring 8mm. Therefore, the perimeter is calculated as perimeter = number of sides * side length = 6 * 8mm = 48mm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total length around the honeycomb cell with six sides.

4. A person consumed 75 grams of protein. This is 30% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for protein. How many grams of protein does the person need to consume to meet the full RDI?

• A. 250 grams
• B. 225 grams
• C. 260 grams
• D. 300 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the full RDI, divide the amount of protein consumed (75 grams) by 30% (or 0.30): 75 ÷ 0.30 = 250 grams. Therefore, the person needs 250 grams of protein to meet the full RDI. Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the amount needed to reach the full RDI. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total amount of protein needed based on the given information.

5. A bookshelf has triangular shelves with a base of 40cm and a height of 30cm. The depth of the shelf is 25cm. What is the volume of each shelf?

• A. 3000 cu cm
• B. 3750 cu cm
• C. 5000 cu cm
• D. 7500 cu cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the volume of the triangular shelf, first calculate the area of the triangle (1/2 * base * height) which is (1/2 * 40 * 30) = 600 sq cm. Then, multiply this area by the depth of the shelf (600 * 25) = 15000 cu cm. Therefore, the volume of each shelf is 3750 cu cm. Choice A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume based on the dimensions provided.
