1. Erin has 6.25 peach pies. She gives Rose 3.75 of the peach pies. How many pies does Erin have left?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find how many pies Erin has left, subtract 3.75 from 6.25: 6.25 - 3.75 = 2.5 peach pies. Erin has 2.5 peach pies left, which rounds down to 2 pies, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result.

2. Ratio and proportion 1.2:x=14:42.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Cross-multiply to solve for 𝑥 x: 1.2 × 42 = 14 𝑥 1.2×42=14x 50.4 = 14 𝑥 50.4=14x 𝑥 = 50.4 14 = 3.6 x= 14 50.4 ​ =3.6

3. In his stamp collection, Bruno has 15 more stamps from Europe than from Africa, and 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa. If he has 27 stamps from Europe, how many Asian stamps does he have?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since Bruno has 27 stamps from Europe, which is 15 more than from Africa, he must have 27 - 15 = 12 stamps from Africa. Since he also has 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa, he must have 12 + 18 = 30 stamps from Asia. Therefore, Bruno has 30 Asian stamps. Choice A (12) is the number of stamps Bruno has from Africa, not Asia. Choices B (22) and D (40) are not derived from the correct calculations based on the given information.

4. The physician orders 60 mg of Augmentin; 80 mg/mL is on hand. How many milliliters will you give?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume required, divide the prescribed dose (60 mg) by the concentration available (80 mg/mL): 60 mg ÷ 80 mg/mL = 0.75 mL. Therefore, 0.75 mL is the correct amount to administer. Choice A (1 ml) is incorrect as it does not consider the concentration of the solution. Choice B (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it is half the correct amount. Choice D (1.25 ml) is incorrect as it is more than the calculated correct amount.

5. What is the numerical value of the Roman numeral XVII?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Roman numeral XVII represents the number 17. In Roman numerals, X stands for 10 and V stands for 5. When V (5) is subtracted from X (10), it results in 5 being subtracted from 10, which equals 5. Adding this to V (5) gives the total value of XVII as 17. Choice A is incorrect because it is not the correct numerical value of XVII. Choice C and D are also incorrect as they do not correspond to the Roman numeral XVII.
