1. An athlete runs 5 miles in 25 minutes and then changes pace to run the next 3 miles in 15 minutes. Overall, what is the average time in minutes it takes the athlete to run 1 mile?

• A. 7 minutes
• B. 5 minutes
• C. 6.5 minutes
• D. 8.5 minutes

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the average time per mile, add the total time taken to cover all miles and then divide by the total miles run. The athlete ran 5 miles in 25 minutes and 3 miles in 15 minutes, totaling 8 miles in 40 minutes. Therefore, the average time per mile is 40 minutes ÷ 8 miles = 5 minutes. Choice A, 7 minutes, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct average time per mile. Choice C, 6.5 minutes, is incorrect since the calculation is not based on the given information. Choice D, 8.5 minutes, is incorrect as it does not represent the average time per mile for the entire run.

2. How do you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and Celsius to Fahrenheit?

• A. Fahrenheit to Celsius: Subtract 32, then divide by 1.8; Celsius to Fahrenheit: Multiply by 1.8, then add 32
• B. Fahrenheit to Celsius: Subtract 32, then divide by 2; Celsius to Fahrenheit: Multiply by 1.8, then add 20
• C. Fahrenheit to Celsius: Multiply by 2, then add 32; Celsius to Fahrenheit: Subtract 32, then divide by 1.8
• D. Fahrenheit to Celsius: Subtract 30, then divide by 1.8; Celsius to Fahrenheit: Multiply by 2, then add 32

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you start by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and then divide the result by 1.8. This formula accounts for the freezing point of water at 32°F and the conversion factor to Celsius. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you multiply the Celsius temperature by 1.8 and then add 32. This process takes into consideration the conversion factor from Celsius to Fahrenheit and the freezing point of water. Choice B is incorrect as dividing by 2 instead of 1.8 would yield an inaccurate conversion. Choice C is incorrect as it involves incorrect operations for both conversions. Choice D is incorrect as subtracting 30 instead of 32 for Fahrenheit to Celsius and multiplying by 2 instead of 1.8 for Celsius to Fahrenheit would provide incorrect results.

3. There are 800 students enrolled in four allied health programs at a local community college. The percentage of students in each program is displayed in the pie chart. What is the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program?

• A. 336
• B. 152
• C. 144
• D. 168

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program, you need to calculate 19% of 800. 19% of 800 is (19/100) * 800 = 152 students. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (336), Choice C (144), and Choice D (168) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct percentage of students enrolled in the respiratory care program as indicated by the pie chart.

4. What is 15% of 200?

• A. 30
• B. 20
• C. 25
• D. 40

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 15% of 200, you multiply 0.15 by 200, which equals 30. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (20) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 200. Choice C (25) is incorrect as it does not accurately represent 15% of 200. Choice D (40) is incorrect as it represents 20% of 200.

5. What is the least common denominator for the fractions below? 1/2, 2/3, 4/5

• A. 30
• B. 25
• C. 7
• D. 19

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the least common denominator for fractions 1/2, 2/3, and 4/5, we need to identify the least common multiple of the denominators. The denominators are 2, 3, and 5. The least common multiple of 2, 3, and 5 is 30. Therefore, 30 is the least common denominator for these fractions. Choice B (25), C (7), and D (19) are incorrect because they are not the least common multiple of the denominators of the given fractions.
