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. What is the probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die?
- A. 1/6
- B. 1/4
- C. 1/3
- D. 1/2
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/6. A six-sided die has one face with a '2' out of six possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the specific probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die.
3. An artist sells paintings at $5.50 each. She has 7 stands and pays $35 per stand. What is her profit if she sells an average of 11 paintings per stand?
- A. $245
- B. $178.50
- C. $175
- D. $423.50
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the profit, first determine the total revenue: 7 stands * 11 paintings per stand * $5.50 per painting = $423.50. Then, subtract the total stand expenses ($35 per stand * 7 stands = $245) from the total revenue to get the profit: $423.50 - $245 = $178.50. Therefore, the correct answer is $178.50. Option A is incorrect because it does not account for the stand expenses. Option C is incorrect as it does not consider the total revenue. Option D is incorrect as it overestimates the profit by not deducting the stand expenses.
4. Subtract 17 2\3 - 8 5\9.
- A. 8 4\9
- B. 9 1\9
- C. 8 3\9
- D. 8 4\9
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Find a common denominator to subtract: 17 2\3 - 8 5\9 = 9 1\9.
5. At a comic book store, Robert purchased three comics for $2.65 each. If he paid with a $20 bill, how much change did he receive?
- A. $12.05
- B. $11.05
- C. $10.00
- D. $13.50
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Robert spent a total of $7.95 on three comics ($2.65 each). When he paid with a $20 bill, the change he received can be calculated by subtracting the total cost from the payment amount: $20 - $7.95 = $12.05. Therefore, Robert received $12.05 in change. Choice B ($11.05) is incorrect because it doesn't reflect the correct calculation. Choice C ($10.00) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total cost of the comics. Choice D ($13.50) is incorrect as it overestimates the change Robert received.
