1. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 1/2 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?
- A. 15 mL
- B. 20 mL
- C. 10 mL
- D. 50 mL
Correct answer: A
Rationale: 1/2 oz of perfume is equal to approximately 15 mL. To convert ounces to milliliters, we need to know that 1 oz is approximately 30 mL. Therefore, half an ounce, which is 1/2 oz, would be half of 30 mL, which equals 15 mL. Choice B, 20 mL, is incorrect as it does not correspond to the conversion factor of 1 oz to 30 mL. Choice C, 10 mL, is incorrect as it is half of the actual value. Choice D, 50 mL, is incorrect as it is the value of 1 oz rather than half an ounce.
2. Last night at the hospital, 76 babies were born. Of the births, 45% were girls. How many boys were born last night? (Round your numbers to the nearest whole number).
- A. 42
- B. 34
- C. 35
- D. 36
Correct answer: A
Rationale: When 45% of the babies were girls, it means the remaining 55% were boys. To determine the number of boys, calculate 55% of 76, which equals approximately 41.8, rounding up to 42. Therefore, 42 boys were born last night at the hospital. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation of the number of boys born.
3. What is the probability of getting a 1 on a six-sided die?
- A. 1/6
- B. 1/4
- C. 1/3
- D. 1/2
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The probability of getting a '1' on a six-sided die is 1 out of 6 possible outcomes, making it a 1/6 probability. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct probability of rolling a '1' on a standard six-sided die.
4. After spending money on a sandwich, a drink, and a bag of chips, how much money did the man have left from his initial $10?
- A. $1.50
- B. $0.95
- C. $1.90
- D. $2.10
Correct answer: B
Rationale: After spending $6.50 on a sandwich, the man had $3.50 left. Then, after spending $1.80 on a drink, he had $1.70 left. Finally, he spent another $0.75 on a bag of chips. Subtracting $0.75 from $1.70 gives us $0.95, which is the amount of money he had left. Choice A is incorrect because it does not consider the bag of chips he bought. Choice C is incorrect as it miscalculates the remaining amount. Choice D is incorrect as it does not account for the total expenses.
5. A nurse is reviewing the daily intake and output (I&O) of a patient consuming a clear diet. The drainage bag denotes a total of 1,000 mL for the past 24 hours. The total intake is: 2 8oz cups of coffee, 1 16-oz serving of clear soup, and 1 pint of water consumed throughout the day. How much is the deficit in milliliters?
- A. 440 mL
- B. 500 mL
- C. 480 mL
- D. 300 mL
Correct answer: A
Rationale: First, convert all fluid intake to milliliters: 2 8-oz cups of coffee = 8 × 2 × 30 = 480 mL 1 16-oz serving of clear soup = 16 × 30 = 480 mL 1 pint of water = 16 × 30 = 480 mL Total intake = 480 + 480 + 480 = 1440 mL. The patient produced 1,000 mL, so the deficit is: 1440 mL - 1000 mL = 440 mL. Therefore, the deficit in milliliters is 440 mL. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate deficit calculated based on the total intake and output provided in the question.
