Question 2 of 5
What is the ratio of women to the total number of students in the class?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the ratio of women to the total number of students, you need to simplify the ratio of 16:28. By dividing both numbers by the greatest common factor, which is 4, you get 4:7. Therefore, the correct ratio of women to the total number of students is 4:7. Choice A is correct. Choices C and D are incorrect because they do not represent a valid ratio. Choice B is the original ratio given in the question, which should be simplified to 4:7 as explained in the rationale.
Question 3 of 5
If Bill has 5.5 vacation days left for the rest of the year and 3.25 sick days left, how many days will he have off work if he uses all of this time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the total days off, you need to sum up the remaining vacation days and sick days. 5.5 vacation days + 3.25 sick days = 8.75 days off. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (7.75) is incorrect because it doesn't account for all available days off. Choice C (9) is incorrect as it overestimates the total days off. Choice D (6.75) is incorrect as it underestimates the total days off.
Question 4 of 5
A hospital day staff consists of 25 registered nurses, 75 unlicensed assistants, 5 phlebotomists, 6 receptionists, and 45 physicians. On one particular day, the staff was at only 68% strength. How many people were working that day? (Round to the nearest whole number).
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the total staff working that day, add up all the staff members: 25 registered nurses + 75 unlicensed assistants + 5 phlebotomists + 6 receptionists + 45 physicians = 156 staff members. Since the staff was at 68% strength, multiply 156 by 0.68 to get 106. Therefore, approximately 106 people were working that day. Choice A, 102, is incorrect because it underestimates the total staff. Choice C, 98, is incorrect because it is too low. Choice D, 110, is incorrect because it overestimates the total staff.
Question 5 of 5
What number is 44 equal to 25% of?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the number, let it be x. The equation is 44 = 0.25 * x. Dividing both sides by 0.25 gives x = 44 / 0.25 = 176. Therefore, 44 is equal to 25% of 176. Choice A is correct because 176 is the number that 44 is equal to 25% of. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 44 = 0.25 * x.
