Question 1

Of 480 applicants, 5/8 pass the physical test. Of those who pass, 1/3 advance to the next stage. How many applicants advance?

Accepted Answer

100

Answer

480 × 5/8 = 300 pass the physical; 300 × 1/3 = 100 advance to the next stage.

Question 2

Will has been working on a report for 4 hours each day, 7 days a week for 2 weeks. How many minutes has Will worked on his report?

Accepted Answer

24 tokens

Answer

If Will has worked 4 hours per day for 7 days per week, he has worked 4(7) = 28 hours per week. He did this for 2 weeks, so he has worked 28(2) = 56 hours in the 2 weeks. Multiply by 60 to convert this to minutes. 56(60) = 3,360 minutes.

Question 3

A platoon of 40 soldiers must complete a 10-mile march. If 25% fall out before finishing, how many soldiers complete the march?

Accepted Answer

30

Answer

25% of 40 = 10 soldiers fall out; 40 − 10 = 30 soldiers finish.

Question 4

A recruit earns $2,400 per month. He saves 15% and spends 30% on rent. How much money does he have left after savings and rent?

Accepted Answer

$1,320

Answer

Savings = $360; rent = $720; total spent = $1,080; $2,400 − $1,080 = $1,320.

Question 5

With what number must 3.475817 be multiplied in order to obtain the number 34,758.17?

Accepted Answer

10,000

Answer

To transform 3.475817 into 34,758.17, the decimal point needs to be moved four places to the right. Each shift of the decimal point one place to the right corresponds to multiplying by 10. Therefore, moving it four places to the right means multiplying by 10 x 10 x 10 x 10, which equals 10,000.
