1. 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.

2. If John buys 3 bags of chips for $4.50, how much will it cost John to buy five bags of chips?

• A. $7.50
• B. $6.00
• C. $5.00
• D. $4.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If 3 bags of chips cost $4.50, then the cost per bag is $4.50/3 = $1.50. To buy five bags, John would need to pay 5 bags * $1.50 = $7.50. Therefore, it will cost John $7.50 to buy five bags of chips. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total cost based on the given information.

3. A runner leaves at 7:45 for a morning run at an average speed of 6 mph and returns at 10:00. How many miles did he run?

• A. 11.5 miles
• B. 14.5 miles
• C. 12 miles
• D. 13.5 miles

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The runner left at 7:45 and returned at 10:00, which means he ran for 2 hours and 15 minutes (10:00 - 7:45). At an average speed of 6 mph, in 2.25 hours, he would have covered 6 mph * 2.25 hours = 13.5 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 13.5 miles. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they incorrectly calculate the distance based on the time and speed provided in the question.

4. 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.

5. What is 50% of 120?

• A. 50
• B. 50
• C. 70
• D. 60

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 60. To find 50% of 120, you multiply 0.5 by 120: 0.5 x 120 = 60. Choice A and B are incorrect as they are duplicates. Choice C, 70, is incorrect because it is not the result of calculating 50% of 120.
