1. What number is 98 175% of?

• A. 48
• B. 52
• C. 54
• D. 56

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the number that 98 is 175% of, we can set up the equation: x = 1.75 * x. By solving this equation, we get x = 56. Therefore, 98 is 175% of 56. Choice D, 56, is the correct answer as it represents the number that satisfies the given condition. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result in 98 when multiplied by 1.75.

2. A honeycomb cell has six equal sides, each measuring 8mm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 32mm
• B. 40mm
• C. 48mm
• D. 56mm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a shape with equal sides, you multiply the length of one side by the number of sides. In this case, the honeycomb cell has 6 sides, each measuring 8mm. Therefore, the perimeter is calculated as perimeter = number of sides * side length = 6 * 8mm = 48mm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total length around the honeycomb cell with six sides.

3. Two buildings in downtown Chicago stand across the river. The first building is 1,700 feet tall and casts a shadow of 525 feet. If the second building is 1,450 feet tall, how long will its shadow be?

• A. 478 feet
• B. 455 feet
• C. 448.5 feet
• D. 450 feet

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the shadow of the second building, we use the ratio of heights to shadows: 1,700/525 = 1,450/x. Solving for x gives x = (525 × 1,450)/1,700 = 448.5. Therefore, the shadow of the second building will be approximately 448.5 feet long. Choice A (478 feet) is incorrect because it is not the result of the correct calculation. Choice B (455 feet) is incorrect as it does not match the accurate answer obtained through the calculation. Choice D (450 feet) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct length of the shadow of the second building.

4. How many grams of carbohydrates are in a product if it contains 4 servings, and each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates?

• A. 32 grams
• B. 28 grams
• C. 24 grams
• D. 20 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total grams of carbohydrates in the product, you multiply the number of servings by the grams of carbohydrates per serving. Given that each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates and there are 4 servings, the total would be 4 servings * 8 grams = 32 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total grams of carbohydrates based on the information provided.

5. A patient is prescribed 500 mg of medication, but the available tablets are 250 mg each. How many tablets should be given?

• A. 3 tablets
• B. 2 tablets
• C. 4 tablets
• D. 5 tablets

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many tablets of 250 mg are needed to reach a total of 500 mg, you divide the total prescribed dosage by the dosage per tablet. In this case, 500 mg / 250 mg per tablet = 2 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 tablets. Choice A (3 tablets) is incorrect because it would exceed the prescribed dosage. Choices C (4 tablets) and D (5 tablets) are incorrect as they would also provide more medication than needed.
