1. Multiply 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5.

• A. 15
• B. 7/16
• C. 8/25
• D. 19

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Calculating 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5 gives you (4 x 1) / (9 x 1) & (4 x 2) / (5 x 5) = 4/9 & 8/25. Therefore, the correct answer is 8/25. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of the fractions provided.

2. 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.

3. Percent Increase/Decrease: A medication dosage is increased by 20%. If the original dosage was 100mg, what is the new dosage?

• A. 80mg
• B. 100mg
• C. 120mg
• D. 140mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Calculate the increase in dosage: 100mg * 20% = 100mg * 0.20 = 20mg. Add the increase to the original dosage to find the new dosage: 100mg + 20mg = 120mg. Therefore, the new dosage is 120mg after a 20% increase from the original 100mg dosage. Choice A (80mg) is incorrect because it represents a decrease rather than an increase. Choice B (100mg) is the original dosage and does not account for the 20% increase. Choice D (140mg) is incorrect as it is the original dosage plus 40%, not the 20% increase specified.

4. In a scale drawing for a toy rocket, 1 inch = 6 inches. If the rocket is 6 inches tall on the drawing, how tall will it be in reality?

• A. 1 foot
• B. 6 feet
• C. 1 yard
• D. 2 yards

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the scale drawing, 1 inch represents 6 inches in reality. If the rocket is 6 inches tall on the drawing, the actual height of the rocket would be 6 inches x 6 = 36 inches, which is equal to 3 feet or 1 yard. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 feet. Choice A is incorrect because the actual height is more than 1 foot. Choice C is incorrect as 36 inches is equivalent to 1 yard. Choice D is incorrect because 36 inches is not equal to 2 yards.

5. If the outside temperature is currently 22 degrees on the Celsius scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale?

• A. 56°F
• B. 62°F
• C. 66.5°F
• D. 71.6°F

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: F = (C x 1.8) + 32. Substituting C = 22 into the formula gives: F = (22 x 1.8) + 32 = 39.6 + 32 = 71.6°F. Therefore, the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale when it is 22 degrees Celsius is 71.6°F. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the correct conversion result. Choice A, 56°F, is lower than the correct conversion. Choice B, 62°F, is also lower than the correct conversion. Choice C, 66.5°F, is not a whole number and does not match the precise conversion of 71.6°F. Thus, the correct answer is 71.6°F.
