1. How many inches are in 2 yards?

• A. 36 inches
• B. 48 inches
• C. 60 inches
• D. 72 inches

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, remember that there are 36 inches in a yard. Therefore, when you have 2 yards, multiplying 36 inches by 2 results in 72 inches. Choice A, 36 inches, is the number of inches in 1 yard, not 2 yards. Choice B, 48 inches, and Choice C, 60 inches, are incorrect calculations based on the conversion factor of 36 inches per yard.

2. Express 0.75 as a fraction.

• A. 4/5
• B. 3/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To express 0.75 as a fraction, we write it as 75/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 3/4. Therefore, 0.75 is equivalent to 3/4. Choice A (4/5), Choice C (1/2), and Choice D (1/4) are incorrect fractions and do not represent 0.75.

3. A solution is 60% alcohol. If 200ml of the solution is used, how much pure alcohol is present?

• A. 100ml
• B. 120ml
• C. 140ml
• D. 160ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If the solution is 60% alcohol, it means that 60% of the solution is alcohol. Therefore, in 200ml of the solution, the amount of alcohol present is: 200ml * 60% = 200ml * 0.60 = 120ml. So, when 200ml of the solution is used, there are 120ml of pure alcohol present. Choice A, 100ml, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct percentage of alcohol in the solution. Choice C, 140ml, and Choice D, 160ml, are incorrect as they overestimate the amount of pure alcohol present in the solution.

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. Rectangle: A picture frame measures 15cm by 20cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 30cm
• B. 55cm
• C. 65cm
• D. 75cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the lengths of all sides. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 * (length + width). In this case, the length is 15cm and the width is 20cm. Therefore, the perimeter = 2 * (15cm + 20cm) = 65cm. Choice A (30cm), Choice B (55cm), and Choice D (75cm) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of the given rectangle.
