Question 1 of 9

A train travels at 65 mph for 1.5 hours. How far did it travel?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of the train (65 mph) by the time it traveled (1.5 hours): 65 mph 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the train traveled 97.5 miles. Choice B, 95 miles, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct calculation. Choice C, 100 miles, is incorrect as it is a rounded-up value. Choice D, 100.5 miles, is incorrect as it is a miscalculation.

Question 2 of 9

How many pounds are in 192 ounces?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, divide the number of ounces by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 192 ounces · 16 = 12 pounds. Choice A, 16 pounds, is incorrect because it does not represent the correct conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice B, 10 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 192 ounces by 16. Choice D, 16 pounds, is the same as choice A and is incorrect in the context of this conversion.

Question 3 of 9

How many kilograms are in 2000 grams?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 2000 grams is equal to 2 kilograms (2000 grams · 1000 = 2 kilograms). The correct answer is B: 2 kilograms. Choice A, 20 kilograms, is incorrect because multiplying by 10 (not dividing by 1000) would give that result. Choice C, 5 kilograms, and Choice D, 10 kilograms, are also incorrect as they do not correctly convert grams to kilograms.

Question 4 of 9

How many pounds are in 80 ounces?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find how many pounds are in 80 ounces, you divide 80 by 16, which equals 5 pounds. Thus, the correct answer is 5 pounds. Choice B, 6 pounds, is incorrect because it doesn't accurately reflect the conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice C, 4 pounds, and Choice D, 3 pounds, are also incorrect as they do not align with the correct conversion factor of 16 ounces to 1 pound.

Question 6 of 9

If a marathon runner burns 2276 calories in 21.4 miles, what is their rate of calories burned per mile?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total miles run: 2276 · 21.4 ≈ 106.4 calories per mile. This calculation gives the average number of calories burned for each mile of the marathon. Choice A, 107.5, is incorrect as it does not match the precise calculation result. Choices C and D are also incorrect as they are not the accurate rate of calories burned per mile based on the given data.

Question 7 of 9

A doctor orders 1 gram of a medication to be administered intravenously. The available vial contains 200 milligrams per milliliter. How many milliliters of the solution should be drawn up?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: 1 gram is equivalent to 1000 milligrams. The concentration of the medication is 200 milligrams per milliliter. To calculate the volume needed, divide the total amount of medication by the concentration: 1000 mg / 200 mg/mL = 5 mL. Therefore, 5 milliliters of the solution should be drawn up to administer 1 gram of the medication intravenously. Choice A (4 milliliters), Choice C (10 milliliters), and Choice D (20 milliliters) are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the volume of the solution needed based on the concentration of the medication.

Question 8 of 9

A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 3/4 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 9 of 9

Change 0.015 to a fraction.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.015 to a fraction, we can rewrite it as 15/1000. Simplifying this fraction, we get 3/200. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/2000) is incorrect as the decimal 0.015 is equivalent to 15/1000, not 15/2000. Choice C (15/1000) is the initial form of 0.015 as a fraction, but it can be further simplified to 3/200. Choice D (3/100) is incorrect as it does not represent the decimal 0.015.
