A soldier can march 4.5 miles per hour. How long will it take to march 18 miles?
Answer: 4 hours
Time = Distance ÷ Speed = 18 ÷ 4.5 = 4 hours.
A military base has 240 soldiers. If 15% are reassigned to another post, how many soldiers remain?
Answer: 204
15% of 240 = 0.15 × 240 = 36 soldiers reassigned. Remaining: 240 - 36 = 204 soldiers.
A supply truck can carry 3,000 pounds. If rations weigh 8 pounds per package and ammunition weighs 15 pounds per case, and the truck is loaded with 150 packages of rations and 100 cases of ammunition, how much weight remains available?
Answer: 300 pounds
Rations: 150 × 8 = 1,200 lbs. Ammo: 100 × 15 = 1,500 lbs. Total loaded: 2,700 lbs. Remaining: 3,000 - 2,700 = 300 pounds.
A vehicle travels at 55 mph for 2 hours, then at 65 mph for 3 hours. What is the total distance traveled?
Answer: 305 miles
Distance 1 = 55 × 2 = 110 miles. Distance 2 = 65 × 3 = 195 miles. Total = 110 + 195 = 305 miles.
A barracks room floor measures 12 feet by 15 feet. If carpet costs $3.50 per square foot, what is the total cost to carpet the room?
Answer: $630.00
Area = 12 × 15 = 180 square feet. Cost = 180 × $3.50 = $630.00.
A squad of 8 soldiers must complete 480 sandbags for a fortification. If 3 soldiers have already filled 120 sandbags, how many sandbags does each remaining soldier need to fill to complete the task equally?
Answer: 72
Remaining sandbags: 480 - 120 = 360. Remaining soldiers: 8 - 3 = 5. Each remaining soldier fills: 360 ÷ 5 = 72 sandbags.
