1. Convert this military time to regular time: 2120 hours.

• A. 9:20 A.M.
• B. 9:20 P.M.
• C. 2:12 A.M.
• D. 2:12 P.M.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, subtract 12 from the hours if the time is in the afternoon or evening. In this case, 21 - 12 = 9, so 2120 hours is equivalent to 9:20 P.M. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 9:20 P.M. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly adjust the military time to regular time format. Choice A shows 9:20 A.M., which is incorrect as the time is in the evening. Choices C and D show times that are not derived from the given military time, making them incorrect as well.

2. Convert the decimal to a percent: 0.000026

• A. 0.0026%
• B. 0.026%
• C. 2.6%
• D. 26%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100. In this case, 0.000026 * 100 = 0.0026%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 0.0026%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly place the decimal point, resulting in percentages that are too large.

3. A medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon. What is the equivalent dosage in milliliters (1 teaspoon = 5ml)?

• A. 1.25ml
• B. 2.5ml
• C. 3.75ml
• D. 5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Given that 1 teaspoon is equal to 5ml, and the medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon, we need to find half of 5ml. 1/2 of 5ml = 5ml / 2 = 2.5ml Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milliliters for 1/2 teaspoon is 2.5ml.

4. How many grams of carbohydrates are in a product if it contains 4 servings, and each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates?

• A. 32 grams
• B. 28 grams
• C. 24 grams
• D. 20 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total grams of carbohydrates in the product, you multiply the number of servings by the grams of carbohydrates per serving. Given that each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates and there are 4 servings, the total would be 4 servings * 8 grams = 32 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total grams of carbohydrates based on the information provided.

5. How many pounds are there in 8 kilograms?

• A. 3.6 pounds
• B. 16 pounds
• C. 16.6 pounds
• D. 17.6 pounds

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the number of kilograms by 2.20462. Therefore, 8 kilograms is equal to 8 x 2.20462 = 17.63696 pounds, which can be rounded to 16 pounds. Choice A is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion. Choice C is close to the correct answer but slightly higher. Choice D is incorrect as it is higher than the correct conversion.
