Question 1 of 5

If Bill has 5.5 vacation days left for the rest of the year and 3.25 sick days left, how many days will he have off work if he uses all of this time?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total days off work, we add Bill's remaining vacation days (5.5) and sick days (3.25). 5.5 + 3.25 = 8.75 Therefore, Bill will have 8.75 days off work if he uses all of his remaining vacation and sick days. Choice A (8.75) is correct because it accurately represents the total days off. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total days off based on the given information.

Question 2 of 5

The price of an item increased from $9.00 to $10.00. What percentage did the price increase by?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage increase, subtract the initial price ($9.00) from the final price ($10.00) to get the increase ($1.00). Then, divide the increase by the initial price ($1.00 / $9.00 = 0.1111). Convert the result to a percentage by multiplying by 100, giving 11.11%. Choice B (11.11%) is correct. Choice A (5%) is incorrect because the increase is $1.00, not $0.45. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (25%) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculated percentage increase of 11.11%.

Question 3 of 5

How much paint do you need to paint the interior walls and floor of a rectangular swimming pool with dimensions 8m by 5m and a depth of 2m? (Assume one can of paint covers 10 sq m)

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total area to paint, we need to find the surface area of the walls and the floor separately. The surface area of the walls is 2*(8+5)*2 = 36 sq m. The floor area is 8*5 = 40 sq m. Adding these together gives 36 + 40 = 76 sq m. Since one can of paint covers 10 sq m, we need 76/10 = 7.6 cans of paint. Rounding up to the nearest whole number, we need 8 cans of paint, which is equivalent to 88 sq m. Therefore, the correct answer is C (88 sq m). Choice A (56 sq m) is incorrect as it does not consider the surface area of the floor. Choice B (72 sq m) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total area to paint. Choice D (104 sq m) is incorrect as it overestimates the amount of paint needed.

Question 4 of 5

A healthcare professional works in a military hospital from 1300 to 2000. What time of day does this healthcare professional work?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (Early afternoon to bedtime) because working from 1300 to 2000 corresponds to the time frame of early afternoon to bedtime. 1300 is 1:00 PM in the afternoon, and 2000 is 8:00 PM in the evening. This aligns with the early afternoon to evening shift. Incorrect choices: A: Early morning to early afternoon - This is incorrect as the healthcare professional's shift starts in the afternoon, not the early morning. B: Lunchtime to midnight - This is incorrect as the shift ends at 8:00 PM, not midnight. D: Midnight to sunrise - This is incorrect as the shift starts in the afternoon, not at midnight.

Question 5 of 5

Express the number 1906 in Roman numerals.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: MCMVI. Here's the rationale: 1. M represents 1000, CM represents 900, and VI represents 6. 2. Combining these symbols, MCMVI represents 1000 (M) + 900 (CM) + 6 (VI) = 1906. 3. Option A (MCMIV) is incorrect as IV represents 4, not 6. 4. Option C (MDCCCCVI) is incorrect as it uses the subtractive notation excessively (900 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 5 + 1). 5. Option D (MCMVII) is incorrect as VII represents 7, not 6.
