1. What is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.8?

• A. 7.5
• B. 8.4
• C. 6.2
• D. 9.1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 40.3 by 4.8, you perform the calculation: 40.3 ÷ 4.8 ≈ 8.4. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.4. Choice A (7.5) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 5.4. Choice C (6.2) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 6.5. Choice D (9.1) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.4.

2. Farmer Juan finds that it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours. How many chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours?

• A. 48
• B. 18
• C. 8
• D. 6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If 2 chickens produce 6 eggs in 24 hours, to produce 24 eggs in the same time frame, you would need 8 chickens. Therefore, Choice C is correct. Choice A (48) is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of chickens required. Choice B (18) is incorrect as it does not consider the proportional relationship between chickens and eggs. Choice D (6) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the increased number of eggs.

3. What is three tenths of 90?

• A. 18
• B. 45
• C. 27
• D. 36

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find three tenths of 90, you need to multiply 90 by 0.3 (since three tenths equals 0.3). Therefore, 90 * 0.3 = 27. This calculation shows that the correct answer is 27. Choice A (18), choice B (45), and choice D (36) are incorrect as they do not represent three tenths of 90.

4. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MDXVI?

• A. 1106
• B. 1116
• C. 1506
• D. 1516

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The Roman numeral MDXVI translates to 1516 in Arabic numerals. The Roman numeral 'M' represents 1000, 'D' represents 500, 'X' represents 10, and 'VI' represents 6, which adds up to 1516. Therefore, the correct answer is 1516. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the Roman numeral MDXVI.

5. A nurse administers 150mg of medication every 4 hours. How many milligrams will the patient receive in 24 hours?

• A. 300mg
• B. 600mg
• C. 750mg
• D. 900mg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: - The patient receives 150mg of medication every 4 hours. - To calculate how many milligrams the patient will receive in 24 hours, we need to determine how many times the medication is administered in 24 hours. - Since the medication is administered every 4 hours, there are 24 hours in a day, so the medication will be administered 24 / 4 = 6 times in 24 hours. - Therefore, the total amount of medication the patient will receive in 24 hours is 150mg x 6 = 900mg.
