1. How many feet are in 3 yards?

• A. 18 feet
• B. 9 feet
• C. 12 feet
• D. 27 feet

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you multiply by 3, as 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, 3 yards equals 3 x 3 = 9 feet. Choice A (18 feet) is incorrect because it multiplies by 2 instead of 3. Choice C (12 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 4 instead of 3. Choice D (27 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 9 instead of 3.

2. How many pounds are in 160 ounces?

• A. 10 pounds
• B. 8 pounds
• C. 5 pounds
• D. 12 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.

3. A researcher is collecting data on patient satisfaction. Out of 150 patients surveyed, 120 reported being satisfied with their care. What percentage of the patients were satisfied?

• A. 80%
• B. 75%
• C. 85%
• D. 90%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of satisfied patients, divide the number of satisfied patients by the total number of patients surveyed and multiply by 100. In this case, 120 (satisfied patients) ÷ 150 (total patients surveyed) x 100 = 80%. Therefore, 80% of the patients were satisfied. Choice B (75%), C (85%), and D (90%) are incorrect percentages as the actual percentage of satisfied patients is 80%.

4. How many kilograms are there in 11 pounds?

• A. 5 kilograms
• B. 5.5 kilograms
• C. 22.2 kilograms
• D. 24.2 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you can use the conversion factor: 1 pound is approximately equal to 0.453592 kilograms. Therefore, 11 pounds is equal to 11 * 0.453592 = 4.989512, which is approximately 5.5 kilograms. The correct answer is 5.5 kilograms. Choice A is incorrect as it rounds down and doesn't account for the decimals in the conversion. Choices C and D are significantly higher than the correct answer and are clearly incorrect conversions.

5. An office manager makes photocopies for the entire staff each day. At the end of the week, she finds that the photocopy machine has made a total of 3,475 copies. If 6 people used the copier and each person made the same number of copies, how many copies did each person make?

• A. 579 copies
• B. 680 copies
• C. 670 copies
• D. 585 copies

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many copies each person made, divide the total number of copies made (3,475) by the number of people who used the copier (6). This gives 579 copies per person (3,475 ÷ 6 = 579). Therefore, each person made 579 copies. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct division of the total number of copies by the number of people who used the copier.
