1. 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.

2. How many inches are in 2 yards?

• A. 36 inches
• B. 48 inches
• C. 60 inches
• D. 72 inches

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, remember that there are 36 inches in a yard. Therefore, when you have 2 yards, multiplying 36 inches by 2 results in 72 inches. Choice A, 36 inches, is the number of inches in 1 yard, not 2 yards. Choice B, 48 inches, and Choice C, 60 inches, are incorrect calculations based on the conversion factor of 36 inches per yard.

3. There are 6,657 marbles in a jar. Approximately 34% are white, and the rest are black. How many black marbles are there?

• A. 4,394
• B. 4,000
• C. 3,000
• D. 5,000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of black marbles, we need to calculate the percentage that represents the black marbles, which is 100% - 34% = 66%. Then, we find 66% of 6,657 to determine the number of black marbles. 66% of 6,657 is approximately 4,394, so there are 4,394 black marbles in the jar. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for the number of black marbles in the jar.

4. Subtract 32 divided by 8\9.

• A. 36
• B. 32
• C. 40
• D. 44

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 32 ÷ (8\9) is the same as 32 × (9\8) = 36.

5. If a train travels at 80 kilometers per hour, how many kilometers will it travel in 3 hours?

• A. 240 kilometers
• B. 160 kilometers
• C. 240 kilometers
• D. 210 kilometers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance traveled, you need to multiply the speed of the train by the time it travels. So, 80 km/h * 3 hours = 240 kilometers. Therefore, the correct answer is 240 kilometers. Choice B (160 kilometers) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying the speed by 2 hours instead of 3. Choice C (240 kilometers) is the same as the correct answer, making it redundant. Choice D (210 kilometers) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying the speed by 2.5 hours instead of 3.
