Question 1 of 5
An IV drip delivers medication at a rate of 40 drops per minute. Each drop contains 0.05 milliliters of the medication. How many milliliters of medication are delivered in one hour?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the amount of medication delivered in one hour, we first calculate the amount delivered in one minute by multiplying the number of drops per minute (40) by the volume of each drop (0.05 milliliters). This gives us 2 milliliters per minute. Then, to find the total amount delivered in one hour, we multiply 2 milliliters per minute by the number of minutes in an hour (60), resulting in 120 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 120 milliliters. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total volume of medication delivered in one hour.
Question 2 of 5
Percent (%) is a way to express a fraction with a denominator of 100. 125% can be expressed as a fraction in lowest terms. Which of the following represents 125% as a fraction?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Percent (%) represents a value out of 100. To convert 125% to a fraction, it is 125/100. Simplifying 125/100 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 5/4. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (1/8), Choice C (5/2), and Choice D (25/2) do not represent 125% as a fraction in lowest terms.

Question 4 of 5
If a recipe requires 3 eggs for every pound of cake, how many pounds of cake can be made with 40 eggs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine the pounds of cake that can be made with 40 eggs, divide the total number of eggs by the eggs needed per pound of cake: 40 eggs · 3 eggs/pound = 13 pounds of cake. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 pounds. Choice A, 12 pounds, is incorrect because it does not consider the ratio of eggs to cake. Choice B, 14 pounds, and Choice D, 15 pounds, are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given ratio in the question.
