Question 3 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 4 of 9

How many ounces are in 4.5 quarts?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: There are 32 ounces in a quart, so to find out how many ounces are in 4.5 quarts, you need to multiply 4.5 by 32. 4.5 quarts * 32 ounces/quart = 144 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 144 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from quarts to ounces.

Question 5 of 9

A newborn weighs 3,459 grams. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in pounds and ounces?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the weight in pounds, divide the weight in grams by the conversion factor (453.59 grams per pound). 3,459 grams · 453.59 = approximately 7 lbs 10 oz. Therefore, choice A (7 lbs 10 oz) is the correct answer. Choice B (10 lbs 7 oz) and Choice C (13 lbs 3 oz) are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct conversion. Choice D (3 lbs 13 oz) is incorrect as it does not account for the additional pounds derived from dividing 3,459 grams by the conversion factor.

Question 6 of 9

A car travels 240 miles in 4 hours. What is its speed in miles per hour?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate speed, divide the distance traveled by the time taken: 240 miles · 4 hours = 60 mph. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (50 mph) is incorrect as it results from an incorrect calculation. Choice C (55 mph) and D (75 mph) are also incorrect because they are not the correct result of dividing 240 miles by 4 hours.

Question 7 of 9

Subtract 12 1/8 - 9 1/2.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, first subtract the fractions: 1/8 - 1/2 = -3/8. Then, subtract the whole numbers: 12 - 9 = 3. Combine the whole number and fraction: 3 - 3/8 = 2 5/8. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct subtraction of the fractions. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct subtraction process outlined above.

Question 8 of 9

What is the probability of getting a 1 on a six-sided die?

Correct Answer: A

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

Question 9 of 9

Subtract 14.5 - 7.25.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. When you subtract 7.25 from 14.5, you get 7.25. The difference between 14.5 and 7.25 is 7.25. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A (7.15) is the result of incorrectly subtracting 14.5 - 7.25. Choice C repeats choice A, so it is also wrong. Choice D (7.5) is not the correct result of the subtraction provided in the question.
