  1. 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?

    Answer: $1,320

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

  2. A tank crew completes a maintenance check in 45 minutes. If they complete 8 checks in a day, how many total hours do they spend on maintenance checks?

    Answer: 6 hours

    8 × 45 = 360 minutes; 360 ÷ 60 = 6 hours.

  3. A military warehouse stores crates weighing 65 lbs each. A forklift can carry a maximum of 975 lbs. How many crates can the forklift carry in one load?

    Answer: 15

    975 ÷ 65 = 15 crates.

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

    Answer: 30

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

  5. A ship travels at 18 knots for 6 hours, then at 24 knots for 4 hours. What is the total distance traveled in nautical miles?

    Answer: 192 nm

    18 × 6 = 108 nm; 24 × 4 = 96 nm; total = 204 nm.

  6. A military exercise budget of $15,000 is divided among supplies, transportation, and training in a ratio of 3:2:5. How much money is allocated for training?

    Answer: $7,500

    Total parts = 10; training gets 5 parts; $15,000 × (5/10) = $7,500.

  7. A soldier completes 3 laps around a 400-meter track in 6 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take him to run 2,400 meters?

    Answer: 12 minutes

    3 laps = 1,200 m in 6 min; rate = 200 m/min; 2,400 ÷ 200 = 12 minutes.
