,Question 1: What is 847 + 256?
• A. 1,093
• B. 1,103
• C. 1,003
• D. 1,113
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 847 + 256 = 1,103. Adding column by column: 7+6=13 (write 3, carry 1),
4+5+1=10 (write 0, carry 1), 8+2+1=11.
Question 2: Calculate: 2,034 - 876
• A. 1,158
• B. 1,168
• C. 1,258
• D. 1,068
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 2,034 - 876 = 1,158. Subtracting column by column with borrowing: 14-6=8, 12-
7=5, 9-8=1, 1-0=1.
Question 3: What is 347 × 23?
• A. 7,881
• B. 7,981
• C. 7,991
• D. 8,081
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 347 × 23 = 7,981. Multiply: 347×3=1,041, then 347×20=6,940, add:
1,041+6,940=7,981.
Question 4: Divide: 1,248 ÷ 12
• A. 104
• B. 114
• C. 94
• D. 124
, Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 1,248 ÷ 12 = 104. Division: 12 goes into 12 once, 12 goes into 48 four times,
result is 104.
Question 5: A nurse works 8-hour shifts. How many hours does the nurse work in 5 days?
• A. 35 hours
• B. 40 hours
• C. 45 hours
• D. 48 hours
Correct Answer: B
