Question 1 of 9

What is the result of adding 9.43 and 11.3?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 20.73. To calculate the sum of 9.43 and 11.3, you simply add the two numbers together. Therefore, 9.43 + 11.3 equals 20.73. Choice B (21.3) is incorrect because it represents the sum of rounding the numbers up. Choice C (22) and choice D (19.5) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the sum of the provided numbers.

Question 2 of 9

A hospital day staff consists of 25 registered nurses, 75 unlicensed assistants, 5 phlebotomists, 6 receptionists, and 45 physicians. On one particular day, the staff was at only 68% strength. How many people were working that day? (Round to the nearest whole number).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the total staff working that day, add up all the staff members: 25 registered nurses + 75 unlicensed assistants + 5 phlebotomists + 6 receptionists + 45 physicians = 156 staff members. Since the staff was at 68% strength, multiply 156 by 0.68 to get 106. Therefore, approximately 106 people were working that day. Choice A, 102, is incorrect because it underestimates the total staff. Choice C, 98, is incorrect because it is too low. Choice D, 110, is incorrect because it overestimates the total staff.

Question 3 of 9

How many ounces are in 3 pints?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many ounces are in 3 pints, you need to multiply the number of pints by the number of ounces in 1 pint. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pint, 3 pints equal 3 * 16 = 48 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (24 ounces) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (32 ounces) is incorrect as it does not correctly apply the conversion factor. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it doubles the correct answer, showing a misunderstanding of the conversion.

Question 4 of 9

How many millimeters are in 5 meters?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, 5 meters multiplied by 1000 equals 5000 millimeters. Choice A is correct as it represents the accurate conversion from meters to millimeters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not provide the correct conversion factor from meters to millimeters.

Question 5 of 9

What number is 44 equal to 25% of?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the number, let it be x. The equation is 44 = 0.25 * x. Dividing both sides by 0.25 gives x = 44 / 0.25 = 176. Therefore, 44 is equal to 25% of 176. Choice A is correct because 176 is the number that 44 is equal to 25% of. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 44 = 0.25 * x.

Question 6 of 9

How much paint do you need to paint the interior walls and floor of a rectangular swimming pool with dimensions 8m by 5m and a depth of 2m? (Assume one can of paint covers 10 sq m)

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total area to be painted, find the area of each wall and the floor, sum them up, and subtract the area of the top surface of the pool. The area to be painted is (2*8 + 2*5 + 8*5) = 16 + 10 + 40 = 66 sq m. Since one can of paint covers 10 sq m, divide the total area (66 sq m) by the coverage area per can to determine the number of cans needed. Therefore, you need 88 sq m of paint, which is equivalent to 9 cans of paint. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation of the total area to be painted.

Question 7 of 9

If 9 out of 75 band members missed practice, what percentage of band members missed practice?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage of band members who missed practice, divide the number of members who missed practice (9) by the total number of band members (75) and multiply by 100. (9/75) * 100 = 12%. Therefore, 12% of the band members missed practice. Choice A (10%) is incorrect because it is not the correct calculation result. Choices C (15%) and D (18%) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate percentage of band members who missed practice.

Question 8 of 9

A clinic sees an average of 25 patients every 4 hours. If the clinic is open for 8 hours, how many patients will they see in total?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. First, determine how many patients the clinic sees in one hour: 25 patients / 4 hours = 6.25 patients per hour (approximately 6 patients per hour) 2. Since the clinic is open for 8 hours, multiply the number of patients seen per hour by the number of hours the clinic is open: 6.25 patients/hour * 8 hours = 50 patients 3. Therefore, the clinic will see a total of 50 patients in 8 hours, which corresponds to answer choice D) 200.
