1. Add 2/3 + 4/9.

• A. 8/15
• B. 1
• C. 10/9
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add the fractions, first find a common denominator. The least common denominator between 3 and 9 is 9. Convert 2/3 to 6/9 then add 6/9 + 4/9: = 10/9

2. A medication order is written as 3/4 of a tablet. If each tablet is 500mg, what is the equivalent dosage in milligrams?

• A. 375mg
• B. 425mg
• C. 450mg
• D. 475mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Each tablet is 500mg. - The medication order is for 3/4 of a tablet. - To find the equivalent dosage in milligrams, we need to calculate 3/4 of 500mg. - 3/4 of 500mg = (3/4) * 500mg = 0.75 * 500mg = 375mg. - Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milligrams is 375mg.

3. A triangular scarf has sides measuring 10cm, 12cm, and 15cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 27cm
• B. 32cm
• C. 37cm
• D. 45cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides. In this case, the sides of the triangular scarf measure 10cm, 12cm, and 15cm. Therefore, the perimeter is calculated as: Perimeter = 10cm + 12cm + 15cm Perimeter = 37cm Therefore, the correct answer is B) 32cm.

4. How many meters are in 5 kilometers?

• A. 1000
• B. 5000
• C. 10000
• D. 500

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply the number of kilometers by 1000 since there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, 5 kilometers is equal to 5 × 1000 = 5000 meters. Choice A (1000) is incorrect because it represents the number of meters in 1 kilometer, not 5 kilometers. Choice C (10000) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 10 (not 5) by 1000. Choice D (500) is incorrect as it represents half the correct conversion value.

5. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains ½ oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

• A. 10 mL
• B. 15 mL
• C. 20 mL
• D. 25 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, we know that 1 ounce is approximately 30 mL. Therefore, 0.5 ounces would be half of that, which is 15 mL. So, 0.5 oz of perfume is equal to 15 mL. Choice A (10 mL), Choice C (20 mL), and Choice D (25 mL) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from ounces to milliliters.
