A doctor prescribes 150 milligrams of medication to be taken orally every 12 hours. How many grams should the patient take per dose?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Convert milligrams to grams: 150 milligrams = 150/1000 = 0.15 grams. Therefore, the patient should take 0.15 grams per dose. Choice A (0.015 grams) is incorrect as the decimal point was misplaced, leading to a value that is too small. Choice C (1.5 grams) is incorrect as it represents 10 times the correct value. Choice D (15 grams) is incorrect as it represents 100 times the correct value. The correct conversion from milligrams to grams is 0.15 grams.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: When a number is written in scientific notation as \(a \times 10^n\), the value of the number in standard form is obtained by multiplying \(a\) by \(10^n\). In this case, the number is \(4.82 \times 10^3\). To convert this to standard form, we multiply 4.82 by \(10^3\), which means moving the decimal point 3 places to the right. \(4.82 \times 10^3 = 4820\) Therefore, the value of the number in standard form is 4820, which corresponds to option C.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve for x, use cross-multiplication: 6x = 10 x 24 6x = 240 Now, divide both sides by 6 to find x: x = 240 / 6 = 40 Therefore, the correct answer is A. 40. Choice B, 25, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the proportion. Choice C, 240, is incorrect because it represents the value that is given in the proportion and not the value of x. Choice D, 4, is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation for x.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Substitute x=11 into the expression: 11 + (44 / 2*11) = 11 + (44 / 22) = 11 + 2 = 13 Therefore, the correct answer is 13. Choice A (2.5) is incorrect as the correct result is 13, not 2.5. Choice B (33) is incorrect because it does not result from the given expression. Choice C (55) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (13) is incorrect because the correct solution is 13, not 2.5.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve the proportion x/250 = 3/500, cross multiply to get 500x = 750. Then solve for x by dividing both sides by 500, which results in x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (2) is incorrect because the correct solution is 1.5, not 2. Choice C (1500) is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation of the proportion. Choice D (25) is incorrect and does not match the correct solution obtained by solving the proportion.
