1. 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.

2. Convert 3/8 to a decimal.

• A. 0.25
• B. 0.25
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.375

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 3/8 to a decimal, divide 3 by 8: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375. The correct answer is 0.375. Choice A (0.25), Choice B (0.25), and Choice C (0.3) are incorrect because they do not represent the equivalent decimal value of 3/8.

3. 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.

4. What number is 98 175% of?

• A. 48
• B. 52
• C. 54
• D. 56

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the number that 98 is 175% of, we can set up the equation: x = 1.75 * x. By solving this equation, we get x = 56. Therefore, 98 is 175% of 56. Choice D, 56, is the correct answer as it represents the number that satisfies the given condition. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result in 98 when multiplied by 1.75.

5. The recipe states that 4 cups of sugar will make 120 cookies. How many cups of sugar are needed to make 90 cookies?

• A. 3 cups
• B. 2 cups
• C. 1.5 cups
• D. 4 cups

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many cups of sugar are needed for 90 cookies when 4 cups make 120 cookies, set up a proportion: 4/120 = x/90. Cross multiply to get 120x = 4 * 90. Solve for x to find x = 360/120 = 3. Therefore, 3 cups of sugar are needed for 90 cookies. Choice B (2 cups), Choice C (1.5 cups), and Choice D (4 cups) are incorrect because they do not align with the correct proportion calculation. The correct calculation shows that 3 cups of sugar are required for 90 cookies, as the recipe proportionally reduces when making fewer cookies.
