1. A bottle of hand sanitizer contains 70% alcohol. If 5ml of sanitizer are used, how much pure alcohol is present?

• A. 1.4ml
• B. 2.1ml
• C. 2.8ml
• D. 3.5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - If the hand sanitizer contains 70% alcohol, it means that 70% of the 5ml used is pure alcohol. - To find the amount of pure alcohol present, we calculate 70% of 5ml: 0.7 * 5ml = 3.5ml. - Therefore, when 5ml of sanitizer are used, there are 3.5ml of pure alcohol present.

2. If a person consumes 500 calories per meal, how many calories will they consume in 3 meals?

• A. 1000 calories
• B. 1500 calories
• C. 2000 calories
• D. 500 calories

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total calories consumed in 3 meals, you multiply the number of meals by the calories per meal: 3 meals x 500 calories/meal = 1500 calories. Therefore, the correct answer is 1500 calories. Choice A (1000 calories) is incorrect because it miscalculates the total calories. Choice C (2000 calories) is incorrect as it overestimates the total calories. Choice D (500 calories) is incorrect as it represents the calories consumed in a single meal, not in 3 meals.

3. 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).

4. A farmer wants to plant trees around the outside boundaries of his rectangular field with dimensions of 650 meters × 780 meters. Each tree requires 5 meters of free space all around it from the stem. How many trees can he plant?

• A. 572
• B. 568
• C. 286
• D. 282

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of trees, reduce the field dimensions by 10 meters (5 meters of space on each side). The effective area is 640 meters × 770 meters. Each tree occupies 10 meters × 10 meters. Dividing the effective area by the space for each tree gives: (640 × 770) ÷ (10 × 10) = 286 trees. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not consider the reduction in field dimensions and the space required for each tree.

5. 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.
