1. What is the result of the expression 47/57 + 65/75?
- A. 1 23/35
- B. 2 1/3
- C. 1 2/3
- D. 1 5/6
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 57 * 75 = 4275. So, (47*75 + 65*57) / 4275 = (3525 + 3705) / 4275 = 7230 / 4275. Simplifying this fraction gives 1 23/35. Choice B: 2 1/3 is incorrect as the correct result is not a mixed number. Choice C: 1 2/3 is incorrect as it does not match the simplified result of the expression. Choice D: 1 5/6 is incorrect as it is a different value from the correct result obtained by adding the fractions.
2. A physician wants to prescribe 5 mg of a medication to a patient. The medication comes in a 2-mg dose per 1-mL vial. How many milliliters of the medication should the patient receive?
- A. 2.5 mL
- B. 2 mL
- C. 3 mL
- D. 1 mL
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To determine the amount of medication the patient should receive, divide the prescribed dose by the dose per mL in the vial. In this case, 5 mg ÷ 2 mg/mL = 2.5 mL. Therefore, the patient should receive 2.5 mL of the medication. Choice B (2 mL) is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C (3 mL) is incorrect as it is higher than the actual amount calculated. Choice D (1 mL) is incorrect as it is lower than the actual amount calculated.
3. A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?
- A. 10cm
- B. 13cm
- C. 40cm^2
- D. 64cm^2
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length of the bandage is 8cm and the width is 5cm. Area = length x width Area = 8cm x 5cm Area = 40cm^2 Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 40cm^2.
4. What is the result of adding 12 + 2 + 312?
- A. 936
- B. 374.4
- C. 326
- D. 318.24
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the sum of 12 + 2 + 312, you simply need to add these numbers together. 12 + 2 = 14, and when you add 312 to 14, you get the correct total of 326. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (936), choice B (374.4), and choice D (318.24) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the given numbers.
5. A healthcare professional works in a military hospital from 1300 to 2000. What time of day does this healthcare professional work?
- A. Early morning to early afternoon
- B. Lunchtime to midnight
- C. Early afternoon to bedtime
- D. Midnight to sunrise
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Early afternoon to bedtime. The healthcare professional's work hours from 1300 to 2000 correspond to 1 PM to 8 PM, indicating work during the afternoon and early evening. Choice A (Early morning to early afternoon) is incorrect because the professional works in the afternoon and early evening, not the morning. Choice B (Lunchtime to midnight) is incorrect as the professional finishes work before midnight, not until midnight. Choice D (Midnight to sunrise) is incorrect as the professional's work hours are during the daytime and evening, not overnight.
