Question 1 of 5
A bookshelf has triangular shelves with a base of 40cm and a height of 30cm. The depth of the shelf is 25cm. What is the volume of each shelf?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the volume of the triangular shelf, first calculate the area of the triangle (1/2 * base * height) which is (1/2 * 40 * 30) = 600 sq cm. Then, multiply this area by the depth of the shelf (600 * 25) = 15000 cu cm. Therefore, the volume of each shelf is 3750 cu cm. Choice A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume based on the dimensions provided.
Question 2 of 5
Rewrite the following expression as a decimal: 5/8
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 5 · 8 = 0.625. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.625. Choice A (0.7) is incorrect as it represents 7/10, choice B (0.325) is incorrect as it represents 325/1000, and choice D (5.8) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 5 by 8.
Question 3 of 5
A newborn weighs 8 pounds 5 ounces. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in grams?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert pounds and ounces to grams: 8 pounds = 8 453.59 = 3,628.72 grams. 5 ounces = (5 · 16) 453.59 = 141.75 grams. Total weight = 3,628.72 + 141.75 = 3,629 grams (rounded). Therefore, the infant's weight is approximately 3,629 grams. Choice A, 2268 grams, is incorrect as it does not account for the weight in ounces. Choice C, 3770 grams, is incorrect as it is not the accurate converted weight. Choice D, 3856 grams, is incorrect as it does not consider the conversion of ounces to grams.

Question 5 of 5
A healthcare professional works in a military hospital from 1300 to 2000. What time of day does this healthcare professional work?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The shift from 1300 (1:00 PM) to 2000 (8:00 PM) corresponds to early afternoon to bedtime. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as this healthcare professional works during the early afternoon to bedtime hours. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the work hours fall within the early afternoon to evening time frame, not early morning, lunchtime, or midnight to sunrise.
