1. How many gallons are in 16 quarts?

• A. 1 gallon
• B. 8 gallons
• C. 4 gallons
• D. 4.5 gallons

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to gallons, remember that 1 gallon equals 4 quarts. Therefore, 16 quarts ÷ 4 quarts/gallon = 4 gallons. The correct answer is 4 gallons because each gallon contains 4 quarts. Choice A (1 gallon) is incorrect because 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts, not 16 quarts. Choice B (8 gallons) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion. Choice D (4.5 gallons) is incorrect because it doesn't align with the conversion rate of 4 quarts per gallon.

2. The physician ordered 20 mg of Tylenol per kg of body weight; on hand is 80 mg per tablet. The child weighs 12 kg. How many tablets will you give?

• A. 1 tablet
• B. 3 tablets
• C. 2 tablets
• D. 4 tablets

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the total dose of Tylenol for the child weighing 12 kg, multiply the weight by the ordered dose: 12 kg x 20 mg/kg = 240 mg. Since each tablet contains 80 mg of Tylenol, divide the total dose needed by the amount per tablet: 240 mg ÷ 80 mg/tablet = 3 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 tablets. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation for the number of tablets required based on the child's weight and the ordered dose per kg.

3. 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

4. Eighty percent of the class passed with a 75 or higher. If that percentage equals 24 students, how many students were in the whole class?

• A. 18
• B. 30
• C. 36
• D. 60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If 80% of the class passed with a 75 or higher, and that equals 24 students, you can set up a proportion to find the total number of students in the class. Since 80% is equal to 24 students, 100% (the whole class) would be equal to (24/80) x 100 = 30 students. Therefore, the total number of students in the whole class is 30 / 80 x 100 = 36. Choice A (18) is incorrect as it does not match the calculation based on the information given. Choice B (30) is incorrect because it represents the intermediate calculation but not the total number of students in the class. Choice D (60) is incorrect as it is double the correct answer and does not align with the given information.

5. A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles took 1 hour, the second set of 6 miles took 1.2 hours, the third set of 6 miles took 1.5 hours, and the fourth set of 6 miles took 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?

• A. 5.3 hours
• B. 4.5 hours
• C. 6 hours
• D. 7 hours

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total time taken, add the time for each segment: 1 hour + 1.2 hours + 1.5 hours + 1.6 hours = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the course. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the cumulative time calculated based on the given information.
