  1. A soldier needs to travel 186 miles. If he drives at an average speed of 62 mph, how many hours will the trip take?

    Answer: 3 hours

    Dividing 186 miles by 62 mph gives exactly 3 hours for the trip.

  2. A supply depot has 4,200 MREs. If each platoon of 30 soldiers receives 6 MREs per person, how many platoons can be fully supplied?

    Answer: 23 platoons

    Each platoon needs 30 x 6 = 180 MREs. Dividing 4,200 by 180 gives 23.33, so 23 platoons can be fully supplied.

  3. A recruit's PT score improved from 210 to 273 points. What was the percentage increase?

    Answer: 30%

    The increase is 63 points. Dividing 63 by the original 210 and multiplying by 100 gives 30%.

  4. A military vehicle uses 5 gallons of fuel per hour. If the tank holds 60 gallons and the vehicle has been running for 7.5 hours, how many gallons remain?

    Answer: 22.5 gallons

    Fuel used: 5 x 7.5 = 37.5 gallons. Remaining: 60 - 37.5 = 22.5 gallons.

  5. Three soldiers split a $147 dinner bill so that the first pays twice what the second pays, and the third pays the same as the second. How much does the first soldier pay?

    Answer: $73.50

    Let the second soldier's share be x. Then 2x + x + x = 147, so 4x = 147 and x = 36.75. The first pays 2 x 36.75 = $73.50.

  6. A base has a rectangular training field measuring 400 meters by 250 meters. What is the perimeter of the field in kilometers?

    Answer: 1.3 km

    Perimeter = 2 x (400 + 250) = 2 x 650 = 1,300 meters = 1.3 km.
