1. Compare: 0.045 is _____ to 0.054.

• A. Greater than
• B. Less than
• C. Less than or equal to
• D. Equal

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. When comparing 0.045 and 0.054, 0.045 is less than 0.054. Therefore, the correct relation is 'Less than.' Choice A ('Greater than') is incorrect because 0.045 is not greater than 0.054. Choice C ('Less than or equal to') is incorrect because 0.045 is strictly less than 0.054, not less than or equal to. Choice D ('Equal') is incorrect because 0.045 and 0.054 are not equal.

2. What time is 6:30 A.M. in military time?

• A. 0630
• B. 6030
• C. 1503
• D. 1530

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Military time uses a 24-hour clock format where the hours range from 00 to 23. In this format, 6:30 A.M. is expressed as 0630. Choice B (6030) and Choice C (1503) are incorrect as they do not follow the 24-hour clock format. Choice D (1530) represents 3:30 P.M., not 6:30 A.M.

3. Divide: 5,117 ÷ 31 =

• A. 109 r3
• B. 115 r14
• C. 133 r5
• D. 165 r2

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When dividing 5,117 by 31, the quotient is 165 with a remainder of 2. The correct answer is 165 r2. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct division result. Choice A is close but has the wrong remainder. Choices B and C have incorrect quotients and remainders, making them inaccurate. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 165 r2.

4. If y = 4 and x = 3, solve y x³

• A. -108
• B. 108
• C. 27
• D. 4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: With y = 4 and x = 3, the expression is y × x³. Substituting the values, we get 4 × 3³ = 4 × 27 = 108. Therefore, the correct answer is 108. Option A (-108) is incorrect because the negative sign is not part of the result. Option C (27) is incorrect as it only represents x³ without considering the value of y. Option D (4) is incorrect as it represents the initial value of y, not the result of y × x³.

5. Solve: 2 - 8(24 ÷ 2).

• A. -94
• B. -92
• C. -96
• D. -90

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS). First, we divide 24 by 2 to get 12. Then, we multiply 8 by 12, which equals 96. Finally, we subtract 96 from 2: 2 - 96 = -94. Therefore, the correct answer is A, '-94'. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the correct order of operations or make errors during calculation.
