SECTION 1: BASIC ARITHMETIC (Questions 1-10)
Q1: Simplify: 15 + 6 × 2 - 4 ÷ 2
A. 19
B. 25 [CORRECT]
C. 27
D. 31
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using order of operations (PEMDAS), first multiply: 6 × 2 = 12; then divide: 4 ÷ 2 =
2; then add and subtract left to right: 15 + 12 = 27; 27 - 2 = 25 (B). Doing operations left to right
without order would give different results.
Q2: Round 47.638 to the nearest tenth.
A. 47.6
B. 47.63
C. 47.7 [CORRECT]
D. 48
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To round to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredths digit (3). Since 3 < 5, keep the
tenths digit as is: 47.6. Wait - correction: 8 is in thousandths, 3 is in hundredths. Since 3 < 5, we
keep 6, giving 47.6. But wait - let me recheck: 47.638, the tenths is 6, hundredths is 3. Since 3 <
5, we round down to 47.6. However, if the number were 47.658, it would be 47.7. Let me verify:
47.638, digit in hundredths place is 3, which is less than 5, so we round down to 47.6. But option
C is 47.7. Let me recalculate: Actually, looking more carefully - 47.638: the 6 is in tenths place,
,3 is in hundredths, 8 is in thousandths. Since 3 < 5, we keep the 6, result is 47.6. But 47.6 is
option A. Let me adjust this question to make C correct: If we use 47.658, then 5 ≥ 5, so we
round up to 47.7. I'll use 47.658 instead.
Q2: Round 47.658 to the nearest tenth.
A. 47.6
B. 47.65
C. 47.7 [CORRECT]
D. 48
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To round to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredths digit (5). Since 5 ≥ 5, round the
tenths digit up from 6 to 7: 47.7 (C). Option A (47.6) would be correct if rounding down. Option
B (47.65) is to hundredths. Option D (48) rounds to nearest whole number.
Q3: Estimate the product: 498 × 31
A. 1,500
B. 15,000 [CORRECT]
C. 150,000
D. 1,500,000
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Round 498 to 500 and 31 to 30. Then 500 × 30 = 15,000 (B). Option A (1,500) is 500
× 3. Option C (150,000) is 500 × 300. Option D is 500 × 3,000.
Q4: A nurse works 5 shifts per week. If each shift is 12 hours, how many hours does the nurse
work in 4 weeks?
A. 48 hours
B. 60 hours
C. 240 hours [CORRECT]
D. 480 hours
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calculate: 5 shifts/week × 12 hours/shift × 4 weeks = 60 hours/week × 4 weeks = 240
hours (C). Option A (48) is 12 × 4. Option B (60) is hours per week only. Option D (480) doubles
the correct answer.
, Q5: Simplify: (18 + 12) ÷ 5 + 3 × 2
A. 6
B. 12 [CORRECT]
C. 18
D. 24
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using PEMDAS: Parentheses first: 18 + 12 = 30. Then division: 30 ÷ 5 = 6. Then
multiplication: 3 × 2 = 6. Then addition: 6 + 6 = 12 (B). Common errors include doing
operations left to right without priority.
Q6: What is the remainder when 847 is divided by 6?
A. 1 [CORRECT]
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 847 ÷ 6 = 141 with remainder 1, since 6 × 141 = 846 and 847 - 846 = 1 (A). Check: 6
× 141 = 846; 846 + 1 = 847.
Q7: A hospital has 3 floors with 24 rooms each. If each room holds 2 patients, what is the total
patient capacity?
A. 48
B. 72
C. 144 [CORRECT]
D. 168
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calculate: 3 floors × 24 rooms/floor × 2 patients/room = 72 rooms × 2 patients = 144
patients (C). Option A (48) is 3 × 24 - 24. Option B (72) is rooms only. Option D (168) adds
incorrectly.
Q8: Which expression equals 36?
A. 4 × (5 + 4)

Q2: Round 47.638 to the nearest tenth.
A. 47.6
B. 47.63
C. 47.7 [CORRECT]

tenths digit as is: 47.6. Wait - correction: 8 is in thousandths, 3 is in hundredths. Since 3 < 5, we
keep 6, giving 47.6. But wait - let me recheck: 47.638, the tenths is 6, hundredths is 3. Since 3 <
5, we round down to 47.6. However, if the number were 47.658, it would be 47.7. Let me verify:
47.638, digit in hundredths place is 3, which is less than 5, so we round down to 47.6. But option
C is 47.7. Let me recalculate: Actually, looking more carefully - 47.638: the 6 is in tenths place,

Q2: Round 47.658 to the nearest tenth.
A. 47.6
B. 47.65
C. 47.7 [CORRECT]
D. 48
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To round to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredths digit (5). Since 5 ≥ 5, round the
tenths digit up from 6 to 7: 47.7 (C). Option A (47.6) would be correct if rounding down. Option
B (47.65) is to hundredths. Option D (48) rounds to nearest whole number.
Q3: Estimate the product: 498 × 31
A. 1,500
B. 15,000 [CORRECT]
C. 150,000
D. 1,500,000
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Round 498 to 500 and 31 to 30. Then 500 × 30 = 15,000 (B). Option A (1,500) is 500
× 3. Option C (150,000) is 500 × 300. Option D is 500 × 3,000.
Q4: A nurse works 5 shifts per week. If each shift is 12 hours, how many hours does the nurse
work in 4 weeks?
A. 48 hours
B. 60 hours
C. 240 hours [CORRECT]
D. 480 hours
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calculate: 5 shifts/week × 12 hours/shift × 4 weeks = 60 hours/week × 4 weeks = 240
hours (C). Option A (48) is 12 × 4. Option B (60) is hours per week only. Option D (480) doubles
the correct answer.
, Q5: Simplify: (18 + 12) ÷ 5 + 3 × 2
A. 6
B. 12 [CORRECT]
C. 18
D. 24
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using PEMDAS: Parentheses first: 18 + 12 = 30. Then division: 30 ÷ 5 = 6. Then
multiplication: 3 × 2 = 6. Then addition: 6 + 6 = 12 (B). Common errors include doing
operations left to right without priority.
Q6: What is the remainder when 847 is divided by 6?
A. 1 [CORRECT]
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 847 ÷ 6 = 141 with remainder 1, since 6 × 141 = 846 and 847 - 846 = 1 (A). Check: 6
× 141 = 846; 846 + 1 = 847.
Q7: A hospital has 3 floors with 24 rooms each. If each room holds 2 patients, what is the total
patient capacity?
A. 48
B. 72
C. 144 [CORRECT]
D. 168
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calculate: 3 floors × 24 rooms/floor × 2 patients/room = 72 rooms × 2 patients = 144
patients (C). Option A (48) is 3 × 24 - 24. Option B (72) is rooms only. Option D (168) adds
incorrectly.
