Question 1 of 9
A new physician saw 841 clients during the first year of practice and 1072 clients during the second year of practice. Which of the following represents the approximate percentage increase in client volume?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the percentage increase, subtract the initial value from the final value, then divide by the initial value and multiply by 100. In this case, the calculation is ((1072 - 841) / 841) x 100 ≈ 27%. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (22%) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated percentage increase. Choice C (127%) is incorrect as it represents an absolute increase, not a percentage increase. Choice D (78%) is incorrect as it is not close to the calculated percentage increase of 27%.
Question 2 of 9
Which of the following percentages is equivalent to 5 ¼?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a mixed number to a decimal, 5 ¼ becomes 5.25. To convert this decimal to a percentage, you multiply it by 100. Therefore, 5.25 100 = 525%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (514%) is incorrect as it does not match the equivalent of 5 ¼. Choice C (5.25%) is the decimal equivalent of 5 ¼, not the percentage. Choice D (5.14%) is a different value and does not represent the percentage equivalent of 5 ¼.
Question 3 of 9
What is any number raised to the power of zero?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: One. Any number raised to the power of zero is always equal to 1. This is a fundamental property of exponentiation. Choice B, 'Itself,' is vague and does not specify a numerical value. Choice C, 'Zero,' is incorrect as any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is 1, not 0. Choice D, 'Two,' is incorrect as any number raised to the power of zero is 1, not 2.
Question 4 of 9
What is a factor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A factor is a number that can be multiplied by another number to produce a third number. When you multiply factors together, you get the original number. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 because these numbers can be multiplied in pairs to give the product 12. Choice B is incorrect as it describes a divisor. Choice C is incorrect because factors are only multiplied, not divided. Choice D is incorrect because factors can be any number, not just those greater than 1.
Question 5 of 9
If the width of a rectangle is 4 inches (in) and the area of the rectangle is 32 in², what is the length of the rectangle?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the length of the rectangle, we use the formula: Length = Area / Width. Substituting the values given, Length = 32 in² / 4 in = 8 in. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (28 in), Choice C (36 in), and Choice D (128 in) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the length based on the given width and area of the rectangle.
Question 6 of 9
Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats half of the pizza. The other three friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza does each of the other three friends receive?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: After one friend eats half of the pizza, the remaining half is divided equally among the three other friends. Each of the three friends receives 1/3 of the remaining half, not 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/3 of 1/2, which is 1/6 of the total pizza. The incorrect choices are: B. 1/3 - This is the correct portion of the remaining pizza each friend receives, not 1/3. C. 1/4 - This is not the accurate portion each friend receives after the first friend eats half of the pizza. D. 1/6 - This is the portion of the total pizza each friend receives, not the portion each friend receives after the initial half is consumed.
Question 7 of 9
Which of the following options correctly orders the numbers below from least to greatest? 235.971, 145.884, -271.906, -193.823
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To correctly order the numbers from least to greatest, we start with the smallest number, which is -271.906, followed by -193.823, 145.884, and finally 235.971. Therefore, the correct order is -271.906, -193.823, 145.884, 235.971. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly places 235.971 before -193.823. Choice C is incorrect as it starts with the largest number, 145.884. Choice D is incorrect as it starts with -193.823, which is not the smallest number in the list.
Question 8 of 9
The graph below represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month. What is the total rainfall for the months May, June, and July?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the total rainfall for May, June, and July, we add the rainfall amounts for each month: 3.2 inches (May) + 2.5 inches (June) + 3.3 inches (July) = 9.0 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (8.4 inches) is incorrect as it does not account for the correct sum of rainfall for the specified months. Choice C (7.5 inches) is incorrect as it does not include the accurate total rainfall for May, June, and July. Choice D (10.5 inches) is incorrect as it provides a total that exceeds the actual combined rainfall for the given months.
Question 9 of 9
Identify the positioning of decimal places after the decimal point in this number: 0.08573
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the number 0.08573, the digits are positioned after the decimal point as follows: 0.08573. The correct answer is '5 in the second decimal place' because 5 is the second digit after the decimal point. Choice A is incorrect as there is no '0' after the decimal point. Choice B is incorrect as '8' is the first digit after the decimal point. Choice D is incorrect as '3' is the fourth digit after the decimal point.
