1. If a party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, how many bottles must she purchase for a party of 145 guests?

• A. 27
• B. 36
• C. 49
• D. 58

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If the party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, for a party of 145 guests, she would need ((2/5) x 145) bottles of sparkling water. This calculation results in 58 bottles. Therefore, she must purchase 58 bottles for the party of 145 guests. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given assumption.

2. How many feet are in 2 miles?

• A. 5280 feet
• B. 15840 feet
• C. 10560 feet
• D. 10200 feet

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to feet, multiply the number of miles by the conversion factor of feet per mile. Since there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, to find the number of feet in 2 miles, you multiply 2 by 5280, resulting in 10560 feet. Choice A, 5280 feet, is the conversion factor for 1 mile, not for 2 miles. Choices B and D are incorrect calculations that do not follow the conversion factor correctly.

3. If a man reads 2 chapters a day and there are 6 pages per chapter in a 798-page book, how long will it take him to finish the book?

• A. 133 days
• B. 399 days
• C. 75 days
• D. 66.5 days

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 ÷ 6 = 133 chapters. If he reads 2 chapters a day, it will take him 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is 66.5 days. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of days required. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not consider the correct calculation based on the given information.

4. 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 shift from 1300 (1:00 PM) to 2000 (8:00 PM) corresponds to early afternoon to bedtime. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as this healthcare professional works during the early afternoon to bedtime hours. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the work hours fall within the early afternoon to evening time frame, not early morning, lunchtime, or midnight to sunrise.

5. A marathon runner is training for her next race. On her weekly weekend run she completes 21.4 miles and burns 2276 calories. What is her rate of calories burned per mile?

• A. 106.4
• B. 105.6
• C. 107.5
• D. 109.3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total miles run: 2276 ÷ 21.4 ≈ 106.4 calories per mile. The correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation result. Therefore, they can be eliminated. It is essential to divide the total calories burned by the total miles run to determine the rate of calories burned per mile accurately.
