A fire team is made up of four junior enlisted men and one noncommissioned officer as the team leader. A group of 64 privates fresh from basic training is to be divided into fire teams.
How many team leaders will be needed?

  1. 8
  2. 10
  3. 12
  4. 16

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The number of privates in the group who have just graduated from basic training divided by the number in each fire team gives you the number of fire teams and therefore the number of team leaders needed.
64 ÷ 4=16
16 team leaders are needed, one for each position.



A tree 36 feet high casts a shadow 8 feet long. At the same time, another tree casts a shadow 6 feet long.
How tall is the second tree?

  1. 30 feet
  2. 27 feet
  3. 24 feet
  4. 32 feet

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The ratio of the heights of the two trees will be the same as the ratio of the lengths of their shadows. The ratio of the length of the shadow of the second tree to the length of the shadow of the first tree is 6/8 or 3/4.
Thus, the height of the second tree is 3/4 of the height of the 36 feet tree.
3/4 × 36/1 = 27/1 = 27 feet

  4. 8°F

Answer(s): B
