Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find out what percent 9 is of 36, divide 9 by 36 and multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage. So, (9/36) * 100 = 25%. This indicates that 9 is 25% of 36, not 10%. Choice A, 25%, is the result of calculating what percent 36 is of 9, not the other way around. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not align with the calculated percentage.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert ounces to pints, you need to know that 1 pint is equivalent to 16 ounces. Therefore, to find how many pints are in 56 ounces, you divide 56 by 16, which equals 3.5 pints. Hence, the correct answer is 3.5 pints. Choice B, 4 pints, is incorrect because it doesn't account for the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pint. Choice C, 3 pints, is incorrect as it is less than the actual conversion result. Choice D, 4.5 pints, is incorrect as it overestimates the number of pints in 56 ounces.

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To evaluate the expression, substitute x = 4 and y = 2 into the expression: -4 + 2 + 4*2. Calculate each term: -4 + 2 = -2, then 4*2 = 8. Adding these results gives -2 + 8 = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6. Choice A (2) is incorrect as it does not consider all terms in the expression. Choice C (12) is incorrect as it miscalculates the result by failing to account for the negative sign. Choice D (8) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the negative value of the first term in the expression.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the total dose of Tylenol for the child weighing 12 kg, multiply the weight by the ordered dose: 12 kg x 20 mg/kg = 240 mg. Since each tablet contains 80 mg of Tylenol, divide the total dose needed by the amount per tablet: 240 mg · 80 mg/tablet = 3 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 tablets. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation for the number of tablets required based on the child's weight and the ordered dose per kg.
