Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the amount earned for 6 hours of work, calculate the hourly rate by dividing the total earnings ($120) by the total hours worked (10 hours): $120 · 10 = $12 per hour. Then, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked (6): $12 6 = $72. Therefore, the student earned $72 for working 6 hours. Choice B ($90) is incorrect because it miscalculates the hourly rate. Choice C ($80) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct hourly rate. Choice D ($50) is incorrect as it calculates the earnings based on the wrong hourly rate.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to divide the number of fluid ounces by 128 because there are 128 fluid ounces in 1 gallon. Therefore, 3 fluid ounces · 128 equals approximately 0.0234 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B (0.5 gallons) is incorrect as it is equivalent to 64 fluid ounces, not 3. Choice C (0.38 gallons) and Choice D (0.12 gallons) are also incorrect conversions of 3 fluid ounces to gallons.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To determine the number of cakes needed, calculate the total number of people, which is 70 students + 3 staff = 73 people. Since each cake serves 24 people, divide the total number of people by 24 to get approximately 3.04. You cannot have a fraction of a cake, so round up to the next whole number, which is 4. Therefore, you need 4 cakes to serve the class of 70 students and 3 staff members. Choice B (2) is incorrect because 2 cakes would not be enough to serve 73 people. Choice C (5) is incorrect as it would be an excess of cakes. Choice D (3) is incorrect because 3 cakes would not be sufficient to serve 73 people.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total number of staff members, sum up the different roles: 25 (nurses) + 75 (assistants) + 5 (phlebotomists) + 6 (office staff) + 45 (physicians) = 156 total staff. Then, calculate 68% of the total staff: 156 0.68 = 106.08, which is approximately 106 people. Therefore, 106 people were working that day. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Convert milligrams to grams: 150 milligrams = 150/1000 = 0.15 grams. Therefore, the patient should take 0.15 grams per dose. Choice A (0.015 grams) is incorrect as the decimal point was misplaced, leading to a value that is too small. Choice C (1.5 grams) is incorrect as it represents 10 times the correct value. Choice D (15 grams) is incorrect as it represents 100 times the correct value. The correct conversion from milligrams to grams is 0.15 grams.
