Question 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?

Accepted Answer

3 hours

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

23 platoons

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

30%

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

22.5 gallons

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

$73.50

Answer

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.
