1. Subtract: 15.7 - 9.8 =

• A. 6.1
• B. 8.96
• C. 5.9
• D. 4.30

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the difference between 15.7 and 9.8, you need to subtract 9.8 from 15.7. This operation results in 5.9. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.9. Choice A, 6.1, is incorrect as it represents the result of subtracting 9.8 from 15.9, not 15.7. Choice B, 8.96, is also incorrect as it is not the correct result of the subtraction provided. Choice D, 4.30, is incorrect as well, as it is not the result of subtracting 9.8 from 15.7.

2. What time is 6:30 A.M. in military time?

• A. 0630
• B. 6030
• C. 1503
• D. 1530

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Military time uses a 24-hour clock format where the hours range from 00 to 23. In this format, 6:30 A.M. is expressed as 0630. Choice B (6030) and Choice C (1503) are incorrect as they do not follow the 24-hour clock format. Choice D (1530) represents 3:30 P.M., not 6:30 A.M.

3. Divide: 727 ÷ 6 =

• A. 120 r1
• B. 120 r3
• C. 121 r1
• D. 127 r3

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When dividing 727 by 6, the quotient is 121 with a remainder of 1. The correct answer is, therefore, 121 r1. Choice A (120 r1) is incorrect as the quotient is 121, not 120. Choice B (120 r3) is also incorrect as the remainder should be 1, not 3. Choice D (127 r3) is incorrect as both the quotient and remainder are different from the correct values obtained by dividing 727 by 6.

4. What is the result of adding 12 1/21 and 3 1/3?

• A. 15 8/21
• B. 16 5/24
• C. 15
• D. 14

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add 12 1/21 and 3 1/3, first add the whole numbers: 12 + 3 = 15. Then, add the fractions: 1/21 + 1/3. To find a common denominator, multiply 21 by 3 to get 63. Convert 1/21 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 63 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3, resulting in 3/63. Now add 3/63 (equivalent to 1/21) and 21/63 (equivalent to 1/3) to get 24/63. Simplifying 24/63 gives 8/21. Therefore, the sum is 15 8/21. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not result from the correct addition of the given numbers and fractions.

5. What is the result of dividing 152 by 2?

• A. 0.0116
• B. 0.116
• C. 76
• D. 11.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 152 by 2, you perform the division operation, which is 152 ÷ 2 = 76. The correct answer is 76. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 0.0116, is the result of dividing 1 by 152 instead of 152 by 2. Choice B, 0.116, is the result of dividing 1.52 by 2. Choice D, 11.6, is the result of multiplying 152 by 2.
