Question 1 of 5
A hospital day staff consists of 25 registered nurses, 75 unlicensed assistants, five phlebotomists, six receptionists and office staff, and 45 physicians. One summer day the staff was at only 68% strength. How many people were working that day?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To find the total number of staff members, sum up the different roles: 25 (nurses) + 75 (assistants) + 5 (phlebotomists) + 6 (office staff) + 45 (physicians) = 156 total staff.
Then, calculate 68% of the total staff: 156 0.68 = 106.08, which is approximately 106 people.
Therefore, 106 people were working that day.
Choice A is correct.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.
Question 2 of 5
Bill has 2.5 vacation days left for the rest of the year and 1.25 sick days left. If Bill uses all of his sick days and his vacation days, how many days will he have off work?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
To find the total number of days Bill will have off, add his vacation days and sick days together. Bill has 2.5 vacation days and 1.25 sick days:
2.5 + 1.25 = 3.75 days
When rounding to the nearest whole number, 3.75 rounds up to 4.
Therefore, Bill will have 4 days off work.
Question 3 of 5
Sally eats 3/5 of her lunch. John eats 75%. Who ate more?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To compare, convert both to decimals or percentages:
Sally ate 3/5, which is 0.6 or 60%. John ate 75%. Since 75% is greater than 60%, John ate more than Sally. Thus, the correct answer is A. John.
Choice B is incorrect because Sally ate a smaller percentage of her lunch compared to John.
Choice C is incorrect as the percentages consumed are different.
Choice D is incorrect as one of them ate more.
Question 4 of 5
A person consumed 75 grams of protein. This is 30% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for protein. How many grams of protein does the person need to consume to meet the full RDI?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To find the full RDI, divide the amount of protein consumed (75 grams) by 30% (or 0.30): 75 · 0.30 = 250 grams.
Therefore, the person needs 250 grams of protein to meet the full RDI.
Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the amount needed to reach the full RDI.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total amount of protein needed based on the given information.
Question 5 of 5
An architect is designing a rectangular room. The room has an area of 225 square feet and a width of 15 feet. What is the length of the room?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The formula for the area of a rectangle is: Area = Length Width.
To find the length, divide the area by the width: 225 · 15 = 15 feet.
Therefore, the correct answer is 15 feet.
Choice A (30 feet) is incorrect because it is the product of the area and the width, not the length.
Choice C (25 feet) is incorrect as it does not match the result of dividing the area by the width.
Choice D (45 feet) is incorrect as it is not the result of the calculation needed to find the length.
