1. Change the following decimal to a percent: 0.09

• A. 9%
• B. 90%
• C. 1%
• D. 0%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.09 * 100 = 9%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (90%) is incorrect because multiplying 0.09 by 100 does not equal 90%. Choices C (1%) and D (0%) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion of 0.09 to a percentage.

2. A nurse administers 150mg of medication every 4 hours. How many milligrams will the patient receive in 24 hours?

• A. 300mg
• B. 600mg
• C. 750mg
• D. 900mg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: - The patient receives 150mg of medication every 4 hours. - To calculate how many milligrams the patient will receive in 24 hours, we need to determine how many times the medication is administered in 24 hours. - Since the medication is administered every 4 hours, there are 24 hours in a day, so the medication will be administered 24 / 4 = 6 times in 24 hours. - Therefore, the total amount of medication the patient will receive in 24 hours is 150mg x 6 = 900mg.

3. Multiply: 6 × 0.06 =

• A. 0.0036
• B. 0.036
• C. 0.36
• D. 3.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When multiplying 6 by 0.06, you can treat 0.06 as 6 hundredths. So, 6 × 0.06 is equivalent to 6 × 6 hundredths, which equals 0.36. The correct answer is 0.36. Choice A (0.0036) is incorrect because it represents 6 multiplied by 0.0006, not 0.06. Choice B (0.036) is incorrect as it represents 6 multiplied by 0.06 without considering the position of the decimal point. Choice D (3.6) is incorrect as it represents 6 multiplied by 6, not by 0.06.

4. How many meters are in 3000 millimeters?

• A. 3 meters
• B. 30 meters
• C. 0.3 meters
• D. 300 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters. Therefore, to convert 3000 millimeters to meters, we divide by 1000. 3000 millimeters / 1000 = 3 meters. Choice A, '3 meters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '30 meters,' is incorrect because it represents a miscalculation of multiplying instead of dividing. Choice C, '0.3 meters,' is incorrect as it is the result of a decimal error. Choice D, '300 meters,' is incorrect as it is a result of not converting millimeters to meters correctly.

5. How many grams of carbohydrates are in a product if it contains 4 servings, and each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates?

• A. 32 grams
• B. 28 grams
• C. 24 grams
• D. 20 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total grams of carbohydrates in the product, you multiply the number of servings by the grams of carbohydrates per serving. Given that each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates and there are 4 servings, the total would be 4 servings * 8 grams = 32 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total grams of carbohydrates based on the information provided.
