1. What is 72 inches converted to feet?

• A. 12 feet
• B. 6 feet
• C. 4 feet
• D. 17 feet

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert inches to feet, you divide the number of inches by 12 since there are 12 inches in a foot. Therefore, 72 inches divided by 12 equals 6 feet. The correct answer is 6 feet. Choice A, 12 feet, is incorrect as it is the result if we were converting 144 inches. Choice C, 4 feet, and Choice D, 17 feet, are incorrect conversions and do not correspond to the given measurement of 72 inches.

2. 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.

3. 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 shift from 1300 (1:00 PM) to 2000 (8:00 PM) corresponds to early afternoon to bedtime. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as this healthcare professional works during the early afternoon to bedtime hours. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the work hours fall within the early afternoon to evening time frame, not early morning, lunchtime, or midnight to sunrise.

4. After the young mother goes shopping and spends $101.85 on groceries, $21.90 at the dry cleaners, and $42.66 at the pet store, she has $200.00 in cash. How much money would she have left after her day of shopping?

• A. $33.59
• B. $29.59
• C. $25.59
• D. $21.59

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, $33.59. To find out how much money she would have left, we need to calculate the total spending by adding the amounts spent at the groceries, dry cleaners, and pet store: $101.85 + $21.90 + $42.66 = $166.41. Subtract the total spending from the initial cash amount to determine the remaining cash: $200.00 - $166.41 = $33.59. Choice B, $29.59, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the correct calculation. Choices C and D, $25.59 and $21.59 respectively, are also incorrect as they do not consider the correct total spending amount and subtraction from the initial cash.

5. A patient's temperature is measured as 38.5 degrees Celsius. What is their temperature in Fahrenheit?

• A. 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit
• B. 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit
• C. 103.1 degrees Fahrenheit
• D. 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Given that the patient's temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius: °F = (38.5 × 9/5) + 32. °F = (69.3) + 32. °F = 101.3. Therefore, the patient's temperature in Fahrenheit is 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit (rounded to one decimal place). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit based on the provided formula.
