1. Convert 0.007 kilograms to grams.

• A. 7 grams
• B. 70 grams
• C. 0.07 grams
• D. 0.70 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 0.007 kilograms is equal to 0.007 x 1000 = 7 grams. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the right. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point two places to the right.

2. Temperature Conversion & Interpretation: A patient's body temperature is 102°F. Convert this to °C and assess if it indicates a fever.

• A. 37�C (Normal)
• B. 39�C (Low-grade fever)
• C. 39�C (Fever)
• D. 42�C (Hyperthermia)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: 1. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. 2. Given that the patient's body temperature is 102°F, we can calculate the equivalent temperature in Celsius: °C = (102 - 32) x 5/9 °C = 70 x 5/9 °C = 350/9 °C ≈ 38.9°C, which can be rounded to 39°C. 3. A body temperature of 39°C is considered to indicate a fever. Normal body temperature typically ranges from 36.1°C to 37.2°C, so a temperature of 39°C is higher than the normal range and suggests a fever. 4. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not reflect the conversion of 102°F to °C

3. What is the sum of 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6?

• A. 5/12
• B. 1/2
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6, we need to first find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3, 4, and 6 is 12. So, we rewrite the fractions with the common denominator: 1/3 = 4/12, 1/4 = 3/12, and 1/6 = 2/12. Adding these fractions together gives us 4/12 + 3/12 + 2/12 = 9/12, which simplifies to 3/4 or 1/2. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/2. Choice A (5/12) is incorrect because it does not represent the sum of the fractions given. Choices C (1/3) and D (1/4) are also incorrect as they are individual fractions and do not represent the sum of the fractions provided.

4. Multiply 12 by 15 and express the result as a decimal:

• A. 0.0018
• B. 0.018
• C. 0.18
• D. 1.8

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 12 and 15, you simply multiply them together. 12 multiplied by 15 equals 180. To express 180 as a decimal, you divide by 100. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they represent values that are not the correct result of multiplying 12 by 15 and converting it to a decimal.

5. If he left a tip of $36 on a total bill of $200, what percentage of the total bill did he leave as a tip?

• A. 16%
• B. 18%
• C. 20%
• D. 22%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the tip percentage left, divide the tip amount ($36) by the total bill amount ($200), then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: (36/200) x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he left an 18% tip on the total bill amount. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because the correct calculation results in 18%. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (22%) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage based on the provided numbers.
