1. What is the result of adding 12 + 2 + 312?

• A. 936
• B. 374.4
• C. 326
• D. 318.24

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the sum of 12 + 2 + 312, you simply need to add these numbers together. 12 + 2 = 14, and when you add 312 to 14, you get the correct total of 326. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (936), choice B (374.4), and choice D (318.24) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the given numbers.

2. 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.

3. A patient's weight is measured as 75 kilograms. What is their weight in pounds?

• A. 132 pounds
• B. 150 pounds
• C. 110 pounds
• D. 85 pounds

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you can use the conversion factor 1 kilogram is approximately equal to 2.20462 pounds. Therefore, to convert 75 kilograms to pounds: 75 kilograms * 2.20462 pounds/kilogram ≈ 165.3475 pounds Rounded to the nearest whole number, the patient's weight of 75 kilograms is approximately 165 pounds. Among the given options, the closest weight in pounds to 165 is 150 pounds (option B).

4. If 9 out of 75 band members missed practice, what percentage of band members missed practice?

• A. 10%
• B. 12%
• C. 15%
• D. 18%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage of band members who missed practice, divide the number of members who missed practice (9) by the total number of band members (75) and multiply by 100. (9/75) * 100 = 12%. Therefore, 12% of the band members missed practice. Choice A (10%) is incorrect because it is not the correct calculation result. Choices C (15%) and D (18%) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate percentage of band members who missed practice.

5. If Latoya spends 15 minutes every day practicing her flute, how much time does she spend practicing over a period of two weeks?

• A. 1 hour 45 minutes
• B. 2 hours 30 minutes
• C. 3 hours 30 minutes
• D. 3 hours 45 minutes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Latoya practices her flute for 15 minutes every day. In two weeks (14 days), the total time spent practicing can be calculated as 15 minutes/day * 14 days = 210 minutes. To convert 210 minutes to hours, divide by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour): 210 / 60 = 3 hours 30 minutes. Therefore, Latoya spends 3 hours 30 minutes practicing her flute over a period of two weeks. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total time Latoya spends practicing over two weeks.
