A worker's schedule is written in military time, and shows their shift is from 1500 to 0100. When will they get off work?
- A. A little bit after midnight
- B. 1:00 AM
- C. 3:00 AM
- D. 12:30 AM
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.

What is 2/3 of 60 + 1/5 of 75?
- A. 45
- B. 55
- C. 15
- D. 50
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To solve the expression, first calculate 2/3 of 60 by multiplying 60 by 2/3, which equals 40. Then, calculate 1/5 of 75 by multiplying 75 by 1/5, which equals 15. Finally, add these results together: 40 + 15 = 55. Therefore, the correct answer is 55. Choice A (45) is incorrect because it seems to be the sum of the two fractions, not their individual calculations. Choice C (15) is incorrect because it only represents 1/5 of 75. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it might be a miscalculation of the sum of the two fractions.
How many millimeters are in 4 meters?
- A. 400 mm
- B. 4000 mm
- C. 40 mm
- D. 100 mm
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you need to know that there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, to find out how many millimeters are in 4 meters, you multiply 4 (meters) by 1000 (millimeters per meter), which equals 4000 millimeters. Choice A, 400 mm, is incorrect because it represents 4 decimeters, not 4 meters. Choice C, 40 mm, is incorrect because it represents 4 centimeters, not 4 meters. Choice D, 100 mm, is incorrect because it represents 1 meter, not 4 meters.
Convert 5 3/4 to a decimal. Round to the nearest tenth.
- A. 5.6
- B. 5.7
- C. 5.8
- D. 6
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert 5 3/4 to a decimal, we add the whole number part to the fractional part: 5 + 3/4 = 5.75. Rounding 5.75 to the nearest tenth gives us 5.8. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (5.6) is incorrect because it does not accurately represent 5 3/4. Choice B (5.7) is incorrect as well because it does not reflect the correct conversion. Choice D (6) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractional part of 5 3/4.
After taking several practice tests, Brian improved the results of his GRE test by 30%. Given that the first time he took the test Brian answered 150 questions correctly, how many questions did he answer correctly on the second test?
- A. 105
- B. 120
- C. 180
- D. 195
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: If Brian answered 150 questions correctly on the first test, after improving his results by 30%, he would have answered (150 * 1.30) = 195 questions correctly on the second test. Therefore, the correct answer is 195, option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not account for the 30% improvement in the number of questions Brian answered correctly on the second test.
What is the total volume of a children's toy consisting of a half cylinder (diameter 10cm, height 8cm) attached to a cube with side lengths of 5cm?
- A. 125 cu cm
- B. 200 cu cm
- C. 275 cu cm
- D. 350 cu cm
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the total volume of the toy, first calculate the volume of the half cylinder and the cube separately, then add them up. The volume of the half cylinder can be calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius (half of the diameter) and h is the height. Substituting the values, we get V = π(5^2)8 = 200π ≈ 628.32 cubic cm. The volume of the cube is found by V = s^3, where s is the side length. Substituting s = 5, we get V = 5^3 = 125 cubic cm. Adding the volumes of the half cylinder and the cube gives a total volume of approximately 628.32 + 125 = 753.32 cubic cm, which is closest to 275 cubic cm, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate total volume calculation of the toy.
