1. How many centimeters are in a foot?

• A. 30 cm
• B. 31.5 cm
• C. 30.48 cm
• D. 35 cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 30.48 cm. This conversion is based on the standard measurement where 1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeters. Choice A (30 cm) is incorrect as it is a rounded-down value and not precise. Choice B (31.5 cm) is incorrect as it is not the standard conversion for feet to centimeters. Choice D (35 cm) is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion for a foot to centimeters.

2. What is the result of subtracting 8.4 from 3.7?

• A. 4.5
• B. 4.8
• C. 4.6
• D. 4.7

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the result of subtracting 8.4 from 3.7, you need to subtract 3.7 from 8.4. Performing this subtraction, 8.4 - 3.7 equals 4.7. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.7. Choice A, 4.5, is incorrect as it is not the result of subtracting 8.4 from 3.7. Choices B and C, 4.8 and 4.6 respectively, are also incorrect as they do not match the correct subtraction result of 4.7.

3. Multiply: 52 × 04 =

• A. 0.00208
• B. 0.0208
• C. 0.208
• D. 2.08

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 52 by 04, you first multiply the two numbers together: 52 x 4 = 208. Since there are two decimal places in the expression, you need to divide the result by 100, which gives you 0.0208. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (0.00208) is incorrect because it represents a much smaller value obtained by considering the decimal incorrectly. Choice C (0.208) is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal placement. Choice D (2.08) is incorrect as it does not consider the requirement to convert the result into decimal form.

4. In a local baseball team, 4 players, which represent 5% of the team, have long hair, and the rest have short hair. How many short-haired players are there on the team?

• A. 72
• B. 74
• C. 76
• D. 78

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Given that 4 players represent 5% of the team, let's denote the total number of players as x. The equation to represent this situation is 0.05x = 4. Solving for x, we get x = 80, which is the total number of players on the team. Since 4 players have long hair, the remaining players have short hair, which is 80 - 4 = 76. Therefore, there are 76 short-haired players on the team. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the total number of players correctly, leading to inaccurate calculations.

5. The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?

• A. .75 tsp
• B. 1.5 tsp
• C. 1 tsp
• D. 1.25 tsp

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.
