1. Add 2\3 + 1\6 + 2\5.

• A. 1 & 7\30
• B. 1 & 1\15
• C. 2\5
• D. 3\4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, find a common denominator (30), which gives 20/30 + 5/30 + 12/30=37/30= 1 7/30

2. If Mr. Parker owns 150 shares of stock in Stark Industries and receives $180.00 per year in dividends, how much does Mr. Rogers receive for an annual dividend if he owns 400 shares?

• A. $480
• B. $500
• C. $450
• D. $72,000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how much Mr. Rogers receives for an annual dividend with 400 shares, we can set up a proportion: 400 shares is to X dollars as 150 shares is to $180. This gives us 400 * $180 / 150 = $480 in annual dividends. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, $500, is incorrect because it does not consider the proportionality of shares to dividend amount. Choice C, $450, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information. Choice D, $72,000, is significantly higher and incorrect as it does not align with the proportionality of shares and dividends.

3. How many pounds are in 80 ounces?

• A. 5 pounds
• B. 6 pounds
• C. 4 pounds
• D. 3 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find how many pounds are in 80 ounces, you divide 80 by 16, which equals 5 pounds. Thus, the correct answer is 5 pounds. Choice B, 6 pounds, is incorrect because it doesn't accurately reflect the conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice C, 4 pounds, and Choice D, 3 pounds, are also incorrect as they do not align with the correct conversion factor of 16 ounces to 1 pound.

4. An IV bag contains 500ml of saline solution and needs to be infused over 4 hours. What is the flow rate in drops per minute, assuming 20 drops per milliliter?

• A. 12.5 drops/min
• B. 25 drops/min
• C. 50 drops/min
• D. 100 drops/min

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the flow rate in drops per minute, first, calculate the total volume in drops by multiplying the volume in milliliters by the number of drops per milliliter (500ml * 20 drops/ml = 10,000 drops). Then, divide this total number of drops by the infusion time in minutes (4 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 240 minutes) to get the flow rate. Therefore, the correct flow rate is 50 drops/min. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the flow rate. Choice B is incorrect as it also miscalculates the flow rate. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the flow rate.

5. How many meters are in 3 kilometers?

• A. 3000 meters
• B. 2000 meters
• C. 3500 meters
• D. 2500 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 3000 meters. To convert kilometers to meters, you need to know that there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, to find the number of meters in 3 kilometers, you multiply 3 by 1000, resulting in 3000 meters. Choice B, 2000 meters, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 3500 meters, and Choice D, 2500 meters, are also incorrect as they provide inaccurate conversions.
