Question 1 of 9

If Mr. Johnson gives half of his pay to his family, $250 to his landlord, and has exactly 3/7 of his pay left over, how much pay does he receive?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Let Mr. Johnson's pay be represented as x. After giving half of his pay to his family, he has x/2 left. Subtracting $250 paid to his landlord, he has x/2 - $250 remaining. Given that this remaining amount is 3/7 of his original pay, the equation becomes x/2 - $250 = 3x/7. Solving this equation shows that x = $3,500. Therefore, Mr. Johnson receives $3,500. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculation based on the given conditions in the question.

Question 2 of 9

If a person wants to plant 65,536 trees so that the number of rows equals the number of trees in each row, how many trees should they plant in each row?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To plant 65,536 trees with the same number of rows and trees in each row, you need to calculate the square root of 65,536. The square root of 65,536 is 256. Therefore, planting 256 trees in each row would result in 256 rows with 256 trees in each row, totaling 65,536 trees. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not provide the correct calculation based on the requirements of the question.

Question 3 of 9

How many meters are in 5 kilometers?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply the number of kilometers by 1000 since there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, 5 kilometers is equal to 5 1000 = 5000 meters. Choice A (1000) is incorrect because it represents the number of meters in 1 kilometer, not 5 kilometers. Choice C (10000) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 10 (not 5) by 1000. Choice D (500) is incorrect as it represents half the correct conversion value.

Question 4 of 9

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 5 of 9

What number is represented by the Roman Numerals XLIV?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In Roman numerals, XL represents 40, and IV represents 4. When XL (40) is combined with IV (4), it forms XLIV, which corresponds to the number 44. Therefore, the correct answer is 44. Choice A (34) is incorrect as it does not consider the value of XL and IV. Choice B (54) is incorrect as it miscalculates the value of XL. Choice D (24) is incorrect as it does not account for the value of XL.

Question 6 of 9

If 3 books cost $4, how much will 6 books cost?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the cost of 1 book, divide the total cost by the number of books: $4 / 3 = $1.33 per book. To determine the cost of 6 books, multiply the cost per book by 6: $1.33 * 6 = $8. Therefore, purchasing 6 books will cost $8. Choice B, $12, is incorrect as it incorrectly doubles the cost of 3 books. Choice C, $6, is incorrect as it is half the cost of 3 books. Choice D, $10, is incorrect as it does not accurately calculate the cost of 6 books based on the given information.

Question 7 of 9

The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.

Question 8 of 9

If a rat can finish a maze in about 3 minutes, how much longer will it take the rat to finish the maze if a small backpack is put on it, reducing its speed by 50%?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Reducing the rat's speed by 50% means it will take twice as long to finish the maze. Since the original time is 3 minutes, doubling that gives 6 minutes. Therefore, the total time will be 6 minutes, making the correct answer C. Choice A (3 minutes) is the original time it takes the rat to finish the maze, not the time with the backpack. Choice B (4 minutes) is not correct as reducing the speed by 50% would double the original time. Choice D (1.5 minutes) is incorrect as halving the time is not the effect of reducing the speed by 50%.

Question 9 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.
