1. How many pounds are there in 8 kilograms?

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

Correct answer: B

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.

2. What is the solution to the equation 4y - 6 = 14? Solve for y.

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 4y - 6 = 14 for y, isolate y by adding 6 to both sides: 4y = 14 + 6 => 4y = 20. Then, divide by 4 to solve for y: y = 20 ÷ 4 = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5. Choice A is incorrect as it does not represent the correct solution to the equation. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the solution obtained after correctly solving the equation. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the correct solution to the given equation.

3. Which of the following percentages is equal to 0.45?

• A. 4.5%
• B. 0.045%
• C. 0.45%
• D. 45%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 0.45 to a percentage, you multiply by 100: 0.45 × 100 = 45%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 45%. Choice A, 4.5%, is incorrect. This percentage would be equal to 0.045, not 0.45. Choice B, 0.045%, is also incorrect. It represents 0.045, not 0.45. Choice C, 0.45%, is very close to the correct answer but actually represents 0.0045, not 0.45.

4. Which of the following fractions is the largest? 3/8, 3/9, 3/6, 3/7

• A. 3/7
• B. 3/6
• C. 3/9
• D. 3/8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the largest fraction, it's helpful to convert them to decimals for easier comparison. Converting the fractions to decimals gives: 3/8 = 0.375, 3/9 = 0.333, 3/6 = 0.5, and 3/7 ≈ 0.429. Therefore, 3/7 is the largest fraction among the given options. Choice B, 3/6, is actually equivalent to 3/6 = 0.5 which is greater than 3/7. Choices C and D are smaller fractions compared to 3/7, making them incorrect.

5. A healthcare professional works in a military hospital from 1300 to 2000. What time of day does this healthcare professional work?

• A. Early morning to early afternoon
• B. Lunchtime to midnight
• C. Early afternoon to bedtime
• D. Midnight to sunrise

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Early afternoon to bedtime. The healthcare professional's work hours from 1300 to 2000 correspond to 1 PM to 8 PM, indicating work during the afternoon and early evening. Choice A (Early morning to early afternoon) is incorrect because the professional works in the afternoon and early evening, not the morning. Choice B (Lunchtime to midnight) is incorrect as the professional finishes work before midnight, not until midnight. Choice D (Midnight to sunrise) is incorrect as the professional's work hours are during the daytime and evening, not overnight.
