1. What is the result of adding 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08?

• A. 21.114
• B. 21.042
• C. 20.214
• D. 59.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08, we add them together: 4.934 + 7.1 + 9.08 = 21.114. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 21.114. Choice B, 21.042, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate sum of the numbers provided. Choice C, 20.214, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct addition of the given numbers. Choice D, 59.13, is incorrect as it is not the sum of the numbers 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08.

2. Fred's rule for computing an infant's dose of medication is: infant's dose = (Child's age in months x adult dose) / 150. If the adult dose of medication is 15 mg, how much should be given to a 2-year-old child?

• A. 2.4 mg
• B. 3
• C. 48 mg
• D. 1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the dose for a 2-year-old child using Fred's rule, we substitute the child's age (24 months) and the adult dose (15 mg) into the formula: (24 x 15) / 150 = 2.4 mg. Therefore, the correct answer is A, representing 2.4 mg for a 2-year-old child. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the calculated dose. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the formula provided. Choice D is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

3. Multiply: 5.04 × 2 =

• A. 1.008
• B. 10.08
• C. 10.8
• D. 18

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 5.04 by 2, you simply multiply the two numbers together: 5.04 x 2 = 10.08. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (1.008) is incorrect as it represents the result of dividing 5.04 by 5 instead of multiplying. Choice C (10.8) is incorrect as it is the result of rounding 10.08 to the nearest whole number. Choice D (18) is incorrect as it results from adding 5.04 and 2 instead of multiplying.

4. If 1 pound equals 453.59 grams, how many grams would a 7 lb. baby weigh?

• A. 3175.13 grams
• B. 4000 grams
• C. 4535 grams
• D. 3500 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert pounds to grams, multiply the weight in pounds by the conversion factor of 453.59 grams per pound. Therefore, 7 pounds x 453.59 grams/pound = 3175.13 grams, which is the weight of a 7 lb. baby in grams. Choice A is correct. Choice B (4000 grams) is incorrect as it does not use the correct conversion factor. Choice C (4535 grams) is incorrect as it seems to have used a rounding error. Choice D (3500 grams) is incorrect as it does not apply the correct conversion factor.

5. How many milliliters are in 4 liters?

• A. 40 milliliters
• B. 40 milliliters
• C. 4000 milliliters
• D. 4 milliliters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you must remember that 1 liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters. Therefore, to find out how many milliliters are in 4 liters, you multiply 4 by 1,000. This gives you a total of 4,000 milliliters in 4 liters. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters. A and B incorrectly represent 40 milliliters, which would be the result if you mistakenly multiplied by 10 instead of 1,000. Choice D is even further from the correct answer, as it suggests only 4 milliliters, which is significantly less than the actual conversion of 4 liters to milliliters.
