Question 3 of 5
If 5 nurses can care for 20 patients, how many nurses are needed for 40 patients?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: If 5 nurses can care for 20 patients, it means each nurse is responsible for 20/5 = 4 patients. To care for 40 patients, we divide the total patients by the number of patients each nurse can care for: 40/4 = 10 nurses. Therefore, 10 nurses are needed for 40 patients. Among the options, the closest number is 8 nurses, making it the correct answer. Choice A, 7 nurses, is insufficient. Choice C, 9 nurses, exceeds the required amount. Choice D, 10 nurses, matches the total number of nurses required, not the closest, making it incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
A table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.
Question 5 of 5
What is the volume of a birthday party hat with a cone-shaped top having a radius of 5cm and a height of 12cm?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the volume of a cone, we use the formula: (1/3) * π * (radius)^2 * height. Substituting the given values: (1/3) * π * (5cm)^2 * 12cm = 150 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation using the formula for the volume of a cone.
