1. Express 4/5 as a percent.

• A. 20%
• B. 40%
• C. 50%
• D. 80%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a fraction to a percentage, you multiply the fraction by 100. To express 4/5 as a percent, you perform the calculation 4/5 * 100 = 80%. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 80%. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct conversion of 4/5 to a percentage.

2. A clinic sees an average of 25 patients every 4 hours. If the clinic is open for 8 hours, how many patients will they see in total?

• A. 35
• B. 50
• C. 75
• D. 200

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. First, determine how many patients the clinic sees in one hour: 25 patients / 4 hours = 6.25 patients per hour (approximately 6 patients per hour) 2. Since the clinic is open for 8 hours, multiply the number of patients seen per hour by the number of hours the clinic is open: 6.25 patients/hour * 8 hours = 50 patients 3. Therefore, the clinic will see a total of 50 patients in 8 hours, which corresponds to answer choice D) 200.

3. Multiply 0.05 by 22 and express the result as a decimal:

• A. 1.1
• B. 0.11
• C. 0.011
• D. 0.0011

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When multiplying 0.05 by 22, you get 1.10. To express this result as a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left since there are two total decimal places in the question (one in 0.05 and none in 22), resulting in 0.011. Choice A (1.1) incorrectly adds a decimal place, choice B (0.11) incorrectly moves the decimal point only one place, and choice D (0.0011) adds an extra zero.

4. Multiply: 22 × 75 = and express the answer in decimal form.

• A. 0.00165
• B. 0.0165
• C. 0.165
• D. 16.5

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 16.5. To find the product of 22 and 75, you multiply the two numbers together. Therefore, 22 × 75 = 1650, which is correctly represented as 16.5 in decimal form. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct decimal form of the product of 22 and 75. Choice A, 0.00165, is incorrect as it is a very small value that does not match the result of multiplying 22 and 75. Choice B, 0.0165, is also incorrect as it is one tenth of the correct answer. Choice C, 0.165, is incorrect as it is one hundredth of the correct answer. Therefore, the only correct representation in decimal form for the product of 22 and 75 is 16.5.

5. 4 7/8 divided by 1 1/6 equals what?

• A. 4 & 6/8
• B. 4 & 7/8
• C. 5 & 8/14
• D. 4 & 5/28

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide 4,7/8 by 1,1/6: Convert to improper fractions: 4,7/8 = 39/8 1,1/6 = 7/6 Divide by multiplying by the reciprocal: 39/8 × 6/7 = 234/56 Simplify: 234/56 = 117/28 or 4,5/28
