1. What is (12/15) ÷ (3/5) = ?

• A. 1 1/3
• B. 1 2/3
• C. 2 1/3
• D. 1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. (12/15) ÷ (3/5) is the same as (12/15) * (5/3). Cancel out common factors to simplify: 12 ÷ 3 = 4, 15 ÷ 5 = 3. So, the expression simplifies to 4/3, which is 1 1/3 in mixed number form. Choice A, 1 1/3, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the simplified form of the division of the given fractions.

2. Express 0.025 as a ratio.

• A. 1:40
• B. 4:1
• C. 400:1
• D. 26:40:00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.025 to a ratio, we can express it as 25:1000 and simplify it by dividing both terms by 25, resulting in 1:40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (4:1) and C (400:1) do not represent the correct ratio for 0.025. Choice D (26:40:00) is incorrect as it does not follow the standard ratio format of two numbers separated by a colon.

3. If a person consumes 500 calories per meal, how many calories will they consume in 3 meals?

• A. 1000 calories
• B. 1500 calories
• C. 2000 calories
• D. 500 calories

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total calories consumed in 3 meals, you multiply the number of meals by the calories per meal: 3 meals x 500 calories/meal = 1500 calories. Therefore, the correct answer is 1500 calories. Choice A (1000 calories) is incorrect because it miscalculates the total calories. Choice C (2000 calories) is incorrect as it overestimates the total calories. Choice D (500 calories) is incorrect as it represents the calories consumed in a single meal, not in 3 meals.

4. Percent (%) is a way to express a fraction with a denominator of 100. 125% can be expressed as a fraction in lowest terms. Which of the following represents 125% as a fraction?

• A. 5/4
• B. 1/8
• C. 5/2
• D. 25/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Percent (%) represents a value out of 100. To convert 125% to a fraction, it is 125/100. Simplifying 125/100 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 5/4. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (1/8), Choice C (5/2), and Choice D (25/2) do not represent 125% as a fraction in lowest terms.

5. A medication order is written as 3/4 of a tablet. If each tablet is 500mg, what is the equivalent dosage in milligrams?

• A. 375mg
• B. 425mg
• C. 450mg
• D. 475mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Each tablet is 500mg. - The medication order is for 3/4 of a tablet. - To find the equivalent dosage in milligrams, we need to calculate 3/4 of 500mg. - 3/4 of 500mg = (3/4) * 500mg = 0.75 * 500mg = 375mg. - Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milligrams is 375mg.
