Question 2 of 9

Convert 7 grams to milligrams.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 7 grams x 1,000 = 7,000 mg. Choice A (700 mg) is incorrect as it represents 700 grams, not milligrams. Choice C (70 mg) is incorrect as it implies that 7 grams is equivalent to 70 milligrams, which is inaccurate. Choice D (0.007 mg) is also incorrect since it represents a fraction of a milligram, significantly less than the original 7 grams.

Question 3 of 9

What is the result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions and then multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here, 4 7/8 = 39/8 and 1 1/6 = 7/6. Dividing 39/8 by 7/6 gives 39/8 · 7/6 = 39/8 * 6/7 = 234/56 = 4 5/28. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6.

Question 4 of 9

A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length of the bandage is 8cm and the width is 5cm. Area = length x width Area = 8cm x 5cm Area = 40cm^2 Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 40cm^2.

Question 5 of 9

How many inches are in 1.5 yards?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, you multiply the number of yards by 36 (since there are 36 inches in a yard). So, 1.5 yards 36 inches/yard = 54 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert yards to inches.

Question 6 of 9

A patient's weight is measured as 75 kilograms. What is their weight in pounds?

Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly doubles the conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it represents the amount in milliliters, not liters. Choice D is a duplicate of choice A, which is incorrect.

Question 8 of 9

Add 2\3 + 1\6 + 2\5.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, find a common denominator (30), which gives 20/30 + 5/30 + 12/30=37/30= 1 7/30

Question 9 of 9

Convert 0.25 to a fraction.
