1. A new physician saw 841 clients during the first year of practice and 1072 clients during the second year of practice. Which of the following represents the approximate percentage increase in client volume?

• A. 22%
• B. 27%
• C. 127%
• D. 78%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage increase, subtract the initial value from the final value, then divide by the initial value and multiply by 100. In this case, the calculation is ((1072 - 841) / 841) x 100 ≈ 27%. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (22%) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated percentage increase. Choice C (127%) is incorrect as it represents an absolute increase, not a percentage increase. Choice D (78%) is incorrect as it is not close to the calculated percentage increase of 27%.

2. What is the GCF (greatest common factor)?

• A. The largest factor that all the numbers share
• B. The smallest factor that all the numbers share
• C. The largest multiple that all the numbers share
• D. The smallest multiple that all the numbers share

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The greatest common factor (GCF) of a set of numbers is the largest factor that all the numbers share. This factor represents the highest number that can evenly divide each of the numbers in the set without any remainder. Choice B, 'The smallest factor that all the numbers share,' is incorrect because the GCF is the greatest, not the smallest, factor. Choices C and D, 'The largest multiple that all the numbers share' and 'The smallest multiple that all the numbers share,' are also incorrect as the GCF refers to factors, not multiples.

3. If 3/4 of students at a university major in nursing and 1/3 of those students complete the program, how many will complete the program if 100 students are in the incoming class?

• A. 75
• B. 20
• C. 15
• D. 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Out of the 100 students, 3/4 (75 students) major in nursing. Since 1/3 of those students complete the program, 1/3 * 75 = 25 students will complete the program. Therefore, 25 students out of the 100 incoming class will complete the program, making choice C (15) the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

4. How many kiloliters are in 147 liters?

• A. 0.147 kiloliters
• B. 1.47 kiloliters
• C. 1,470 kiloliters
• D. 147,000 kiloliters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to kiloliters, divide by 1000 since there are 1000 liters in a kiloliter. Therefore, 147 liters = 0.147 kiloliters. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choices C and D are significantly larger than the correct answer, indicating an incorrect conversion factor used.

5. Solve the inequality for the unknown.

• A. x > 5
• B. x < 5
• C. x >= 5
• D. x <= 5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When solving an inequality, the direction of the inequality sign changes depending on the operation performed. In this case, if the given inequality simplifies to x > 5, it means that the unknown value x must be greater than 5 for the inequality to hold true. Therefore, x > 5 is the correct solution. Option A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the relationship between x and 5 based on the given inequality.
