Question 1 of 9
Round to the nearest whole number: What is 18% of 600?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 9
Convert the percentage to a decimal: 38%
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage by 100. Therefore, 38% as a decimal is 0.38 (38 · 100 = 0.38). Choice A, 3.8, is incorrect as it is equivalent to 380%. Choice C, 0.038, is incorrect as it represents 3.8%. Choice D, 38.0, is incorrect as it is still in percentage form.
Question 3 of 9
Rewrite the following expression as a decimal: 5/8
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 5 · 8 = 0.625. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.625. Choice A (0.7) is incorrect as it represents 7/10, choice B (0.325) is incorrect as it represents 325/1000, and choice D (5.8) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 5 by 8.
Question 4 of 9
What is the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 9
A healthcare professional works in a military hospital from 1300 to 2000. What time of day does this healthcare professional work?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The shift from 1300 (1:00 PM) to 2000 (8:00 PM) corresponds to early afternoon to bedtime. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as this healthcare professional works during the early afternoon to bedtime hours. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the work hours fall within the early afternoon to evening time frame, not early morning, lunchtime, or midnight to sunrise.
Question 6 of 9
Convert the fraction to the simplest possible ratio: 4/6
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To simplify the fraction 4/6, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. Dividing 4 by 2 gives 2, and dividing 6 by 2 gives 3. Therefore, the simplest ratio of 4/6 is 2:3. Choice B (4:7) is incorrect because it does not result from simplifying the fraction. Choice C (4:6) is incorrect as it represents the original fraction, not the simplest form. Choice D (3:5) is incorrect as it does not match the simplified ratio of 4/6.
Question 7 of 9
Karen goes to the grocery store with $40. She buys a carton of milk for $1.85, a loaf of bread for $3.20, and a bunch of bananas for $3.05. How much money does she have left?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To determine how much money Karen has left, we first calculate the total cost of the items she bought: $1.85 + $3.20 + $3.05 = $8.10. Subtracting this total cost from the initial amount she had, $40 - $8.10 = $31.90 left. Choice A, $30.95, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct amount left after subtracting the total cost. Choice C, $32.10, is incorrect as it is the total cost of the items she bought, not the amount left. Choice D, $34.95, is incorrect as it does not consider the expenses incurred and subtracted from the initial amount.
Question 8 of 9
How many ounces are in 2 quarts?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 9 of 9
Report all decimal places: 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 =
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the sum, you add the numbers 3.7, 7.289, and 4 together. 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 equals 14.989. The correct answer is 14.989 because it includes all decimal places from the sum of the numbers provided. Choice B (5.226) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the sum of the given numbers. Choice C (15.0) is incorrect as it rounds the sum to the nearest whole number, losing the decimal precision. Choice D (5.012) is incorrect as it doesn't reflect the correct sum of the decimal numbers.
