1. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6?

• A. 11.41
• B. 5.73
• C. 2.33
• D. 0.57

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 5.73. When dividing 3.44 by 0.6, the calculation is 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. Choice A (11.41) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying, not dividing. Choice C (2.33) and Choice D (0.57) are also incorrect results obtained by incorrect calculations.

2. The formula for calculating heart rate is HR = (220 - age) x 0.65. If a patient's heart rate is 136.5, what is their age?

• A. 30
• B. 40
• C. 50
• D. 60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: Given formula: HR = (220 - age) * 0.65 Given heart rate: HR = 136.5 Substitute the given heart rate into the formula: 136.5 = (220 - age) * 0.65 Solve for age: 136.5 = 143 - 0.65age 0.65age = 143 - 136.5 0.65age = 6.5 age = 6.5 / 0.65 age = 10 Therefore, the patient's age is 50 (option C).

3. How many ounces are in 3/4 pints?

• A. 12 ounces
• B. 16 ounces
• C. 14 ounces
• D. 10 ounces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of ounces in 3/4 pints, we need to know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, 3/4 of a pint would be 3/4 * 16 = 12 ounces. The correct answer is 12 ounces because 3/4 pints is equivalent to 12 ounces. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the conversion from pints to ounces.

4. How many grams are in 6 kilograms?

• A. 600 grams
• B. 6000 grams
• C. 600 grams
• D. 60,000 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000. In this case, 6 kilograms would be equal to 6 × 1,000 = 6,000 grams. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not apply the correct conversion factor from kilograms to grams.

5. Express 0.75 as a fraction.

• A. 4/5
• B. 3/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To express 0.75 as a fraction, we write it as 75/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 3/4. Therefore, 0.75 is equivalent to 3/4. Choice A (4/5), Choice C (1/2), and Choice D (1/4) are incorrect fractions and do not represent 0.75.
