Question 1 of 5

Find x if 40:5 = 60:x.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find x in the proportion 40:5 = 60:x, set up the equation: 40/5 = 60/x. Cross-multiply to solve for x: 40x = 60 * 5 => 40x = 300. Divide by 40 to isolate x: x = 300 / 40 = 7.5. However, x should be a whole number since it represents a quantity, so x = 7. Therefore, the correct answer is 7 (B). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the proportion equation.

Question 3 of 5

What is 0.9 divided by 3?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the result of dividing 0.9 by 3, we perform the division operation, which equals 0.3. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.3. Choice A (0) is incorrect as the result is not zero, but 0.3. Choice B (3) is incorrect as 0.9 divided by 3 is not 3 but 0.3. Choice D (9) is incorrect as 0.9 divided by 3 is not 9 but 0.3.

Question 4 of 5

A label states 1 mil contains 500 mg. How many mils are there if there are 1.5 grams?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the number of mils, first, convert 1.5 grams to milligrams (1.5 grams = 1500 mg). Then, since 1 mil contains 500 mg, divide 1500 mg by 500 mg/mil, resulting in 3 mils required to contain 1.5 grams of substance. Choice A, 9, is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice B, 2, is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor. Choice D, 5, is incorrect as it also miscalculates the conversion.
