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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Calculate the excess blood sugar above 100mg/dL: 180mg/dL - 100mg/dL = 80mg/dL. 2. Determine the insulin dose based on the patient's usual insulin dose: 80mg/dL / 40mg/dL = 2 units. 3. Add the calculated insulin dose to the patient's usual insulin dose: 1 unit (usual dose) + 2 units (calculated dose) = 3 units. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 units of insulin should be administered to the diabetic patient with a blood sugar level of 180mg/dL.

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To solve the equation 8x = x^2, rearrange it to x^2 - 8x = 0. Factor out an x to get x(x - 8) = 0. Set each factor to zero to find the solutions: x = 0 or x = 8. Therefore, x = 16 is the correct answer because x = 0 is not in the answer choices, and x = 8 is a distraction meant to confuse. Thus, choice C, 16, is the correct solution to the equation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. - The diameter of the circular bandage is 6 cm, so the radius (r) is half of the diameter, which is 6/2 = 3 cm. - Substitute the radius (r = 3 cm) into the formula for the area of a circle: A = π(3)^2 = 9π cm^2. - Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 9π cm^2.
