1. Convert this military time to regular time: 0705 hours.

• A. 7:05 A.M.
• B. 7:05 P.M.
• C. 5:07 A.M.
• D. 5:07 P.M.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In military time, 0705 hours translates to 7:05 A.M. Military time follows a 24-hour clock format, so there is no change from A.M. to P.M. like in regular time. Choice B (7:05 P.M.) is incorrect as 0705 hours is in the morning. Choices C (5:07 A.M.) and D (5:07 P.M.) are incorrect due to the incorrect order of hours and minutes.

2. Calculate the product of the following decimals: (0.67)(0.09)

• A. 0.0603
• B. 0.6
• C. 0.603
• D. 0.06

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To multiply decimals, align the numbers as whole numbers, multiply as if they were whole numbers, then adjust the decimal point in the final answer. When multiplying 0.67 by 0.09, the result is 0.0603. To get this result, multiply 67 by 9 to get 603, then adjust the decimal point two places to the left in the final product, resulting in 0.0603. Choice B, 0.6, is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal precision in the multiplication. Choice C, 0.603, is incorrect as it has the digits reversed when compared to the correct answer. Choice D, 0.06, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct product of the two decimals being multiplied.

3. In the time required to serve 43 customers, a server breaks 2 glasses and slips 5 times. The next day, the same server breaks 10 glasses. How many customers did she serve?

• A. 25
• B. 43
• C. 86
• D. 215

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the first scenario, for 43 customers served, the server broke 2 glasses and slipped 5 times. This means for each customer served, the server broke 2/43 glasses and slipped 5/43 times. The information about breaking 10 glasses the next day is irrelevant to the number of customers served. Therefore, to find out the total number of customers served, we calculate 43 customers * (2 glasses/customer + 5 slips/customer) = 86. Choice A, 25, is incorrect as it does not consider the total number of glasses broken or slips. Choice B, 43, is incorrect because it only considers the initial number of customers. Choice D, 215, is incorrect as it miscalculates the relationship between customers, glasses broken, and slips.

4. What is 75% of 80?

• A. 35
• B. 45
• C. 70
• D. 60

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate 75% of 80, you multiply 0.75 by 80, which equals 60. Therefore, the correct answer is 60. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent 75% of 80. Choice A (35) is close to 50% of 80, Choice B (45) is close to 56.25% of 80, and Choice C (70) exceeds 80.

5. The price of an item increased from $9.00 to $10.00. What percentage did the price increase by?

• A. 5%
• B. 11.11%
• C. 20%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage increase, subtract the original price from the new price, then divide the result by the original price and multiply by 100. In this case, the increase is $10.00 - $9.00 = $1.00. $1.00 divided by $9.00 is approximately 0.1111, which equals 11.11%, making choice B the correct answer. Choice A, 5%, is too low as the increase is more than 5%. Choice C, 20%, and choice D, 25%, are too high, exaggerating the actual increase of $1.00.
