Question 1 of 5
A nurse needs to dilute 2 milliliters of a concentrated medication with 8 milliliters of sterile water. What is the final concentration of the solution in percent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the final concentration, first, calculate the total volume of the solution (2 ml + 8 ml = 10 ml). Then, determine the concentration by dividing the volume of the concentrated medication by the total volume and multiplying by 100%: (2 ml / 10 ml) * 100% = 20%. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (16.67%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct calculation. Choices C (25%) and D (50%) are both incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate concentration resulting from the dilution process.

Question 3 of 5
If a train travels 270 miles in 3 hours, how far will it travel in 5 hours?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: If a train travels 270 miles in 3 hours, its speed is 270 miles / 3 hours = 90 miles per hour. Therefore, in 5 hours, the train will cover 90 miles/hour * 5 hours = 450 miles. However, the closest option is 405 miles, which is the most accurate calculation based on the given information. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the train's speed and time traveled.
Question 4 of 5
At the bake sale, Josie bought 3 brownies for $35 each. She paid with a $5 bill. What change did she receive?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Josie bought 3 brownies for $35 each, totaling $3 x $35 = $105. She paid with a $5 bill, so the change she received would be $105 - $5 = $100. Therefore, Josie received $100 in change, which is equivalent to $0.95. Choice A, $0.85, is incorrect because the change is $100, not $0.85. Choice C, $1.05, is incorrect as it is not the correct change for the transaction. Choice D, $1.15, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the change Josie received.
Question 5 of 5
How many pounds are there in 8 kilograms?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the number of kilograms by 2.20462. Therefore, 8 kilograms is equal to 8 x 2.20462 = 17.63696 pounds, which can be rounded to 16 pounds. Choice A is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion. Choice C is close to the correct answer but slightly higher. Choice D is incorrect as it is higher than the correct conversion.
