1. How many grams are in 10 kilograms?

• A. 10,000 grams
• B. 100 grams
• C. 1000 grams
• D. 100,000 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10,000 grams. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to find the number of grams in 10 kilograms, you multiply 10 (kilograms) by 1,000 (grams/kilogram) to get 10,000 grams. Choice B (100 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice C (1000 grams) is incorrect as it is equal to 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice D (100,000 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 100 kilograms, not 10 kilograms.

2. If a recipe requires 3 eggs for every pound of cake, how many pounds of cake can be made with 40 eggs?

• A. 12 pounds
• B. 14 pounds
• C. 13 pounds
• D. 15 pounds

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the pounds of cake that can be made with 40 eggs, divide the total number of eggs by the eggs needed per pound of cake: 40 eggs ÷ 3 eggs/pound = 13 pounds of cake. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 pounds. Choice A, 12 pounds, is incorrect because it does not consider the ratio of eggs to cake. Choice B, 14 pounds, and Choice D, 15 pounds, are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given ratio in the question.

3. Express the ratio of 12:15 as a percentage.

• A. 58.80%
• B. 62%
• C. 75.25%
• D. 80%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To express the ratio 12:15 as a percentage, you need to find the total parts in the ratio (12 + 15 = 27), then divide one part by the total (12 ÷ 27 = 0.4444). Finally, convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100 (0.4444 x 100 = 44.44%). Therefore, the ratio 12:15 is equivalent to 44.44% when rounded to two decimal places, which is closest to 75.25% among the answer choices. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct percentage equivalent of the ratio 12:15.

4. What is 54% of $789.56?

• A. $426.36
• B. $426.37
• C. $363.20
• D. $526.38

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate 54% of $789.56, you multiply 0.54 by 789.56, which equals $426.36. Therefore, choice A, $426.36, is the correct answer. Choice B, $426.37, is incorrect as it is a slightly higher value. Choice C, $363.20, is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct answer. Choice D, $526.38, is incorrect as it is higher than the correct calculation result.

5. An IV drip delivers medication at a rate of 40 drops per minute. Each drop contains 0.05 milliliters of the medication. How many milliliters of medication are delivered in one hour?

• A. 12 milliliters
• B. 24 milliliters
• C. 60 milliliters
• D. 120 milliliters

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the amount of medication delivered in one hour, we first calculate the amount delivered in one minute by multiplying the number of drops per minute (40) by the volume of each drop (0.05 milliliters). This gives us 2 milliliters per minute. Then, to find the total amount delivered in one hour, we multiply 2 milliliters per minute by the number of minutes in an hour (60), resulting in 120 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 120 milliliters. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total volume of medication delivered in one hour.
