Question 1 of 9

Calculate the product of the following decimals: (0.67)(0.09)

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To multiply decimals, align the numbers as whole numbers, multiply as if they were whole numbers, then adjust the decimal point in the final answer. When multiplying 0.67 by 0.09, the result is 0.0603. To get this result, multiply 67 by 9 to get 603, then adjust the decimal point two places to the left in the final product, resulting in 0.0603. Choice B, 0.6, is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal precision in the multiplication. Choice C, 0.603, is incorrect as it has the digits reversed when compared to the correct answer. Choice D, 0.06, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct product of the two decimals being multiplied.

Question 2 of 9

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 3 of 9

What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6, we need to determine the smallest number that is a multiple of both 4 and 6. The multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, ... The multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24, ... The least common multiple is the smallest number that appears in both lists. In this case, the least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12, not 24. Therefore, the correct answer is 24. Choice B (12) is actually the least common multiple of 4 and 3, not 4 and 6. Choices C (6) and D (3) are not multiples of both 4 and 6, so they are incorrect.

Question 4 of 9

The recipe called for 3 1/2 pints of sour cream. How many cups of sour cream would that be equivalent to?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert 3 1/2 pints of sour cream to cups, knowing that 1 pint equals 2 cups, we multiply 3.5 by 2, resulting in 7 cups. Therefore, the equivalent amount of sour cream in cups is 7 cups. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor. Choice C is incorrect as it does not account for the accurate conversion from pints to cups. Choice D is incorrect as it underestimates the conversion by not multiplying the pints by the correct factor.

Question 5 of 9

What is the result of multiplying 226 by 55.3?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 12,541.8. To find this result, you multiply 226 by 55.3, which equals 12,541.8. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate multiplication of 226 by 55.3.

Question 6 of 9

Percent Increase/Decrease: A medication dosage is increased by 20%. If the original dosage was 100mg, what is the new dosage?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Calculate the increase in dosage: 100mg * 20% = 100mg * 0.20 = 20mg. Add the increase to the original dosage to find the new dosage: 100mg + 20mg = 120mg. Therefore, the new dosage is 120mg after a 20% increase from the original 100mg dosage. Choice A (80mg) is incorrect because it represents a decrease rather than an increase. Choice B (100mg) is the original dosage and does not account for the 20% increase. Choice D (140mg) is incorrect as it is the original dosage plus 40%, not the 20% increase specified.

Question 7 of 9

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 8 of 9

What is the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 7 2/3 = 23/3 and 5 5/12 = 65/12. Adding them results in 233/12. Converting this improper fraction back to a mixed number gives 19 5/12, which simplifies to 13 1/12. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 1/12.\nChoice A (11 1/12) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the given mixed numbers. Choice B (12 1/4) is incorrect as it is not the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12. Choice D (14 1/6) is incorrect as it is not the correct sum of the provided mixed numbers.

Question 9 of 9

Convert 63 grams to mg.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. So, to convert 63 grams to milligrams, you would calculate 63 * 1000 = 63,000 milligrams. Therefore, the correct answer is 63,000 mg. Choice A (630 mg) is incorrect as it would be the converted value if the original amount was 0.63 grams. Choice B (63 mg) is incorrect as it is the same value as the original grams. Choice D (63,000 mg) is incorrect as it is the same as the correct answer, but with a comma which is not standard when expressing numerical values.
