1. How many grams are in 4 kilograms?

• A. 4000 grams
• B. 3000 grams
• C. 4500 grams
• D. 3500 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 4000 grams. To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, 4 kilograms is equal to 4 x 1000 = 4000 grams. Choice B (3000 grams), C (4500 grams), and D (3500 grams) are incorrect as they do not correctly convert 4 kilograms into grams.

2. Change 0.015 to a fraction.

• A. 3/200
• B. 3/2000
• C. 15/1000
• D. 3/100

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.015 to a fraction, we can rewrite it as 15/1000. Simplifying this fraction, we get 3/200. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/2000) is incorrect as the decimal 0.015 is equivalent to 15/1000, not 15/2000. Choice C (15/1000) is the initial form of 0.015 as a fraction, but it can be further simplified to 3/200. Choice D (3/100) is incorrect as it does not represent the decimal 0.015.

3. 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.

4. How many liters are in 2,000 milliliters?

• A. 4 liters
• B. 1 liter
• C. 2 liters
• D. 4 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 2 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 2,000 milliliters is equal to 2 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly doubles the conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it represents the amount in milliliters, not liters. Choice D is a duplicate of choice A, which is incorrect.

5. After the young mother goes shopping and spends $101.85 on groceries, $21.90 at the dry cleaners, and $42.66 at the pet store, she has $200.00 in cash. How much money would she have left after her day of shopping?

• A. $33.59
• B. $29.59
• C. $25.59
• D. $21.59

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, $33.59. To find out how much money she would have left, we need to calculate the total spending by adding the amounts spent at the groceries, dry cleaners, and pet store: $101.85 + $21.90 + $42.66 = $166.41. Subtract the total spending from the initial cash amount to determine the remaining cash: $200.00 - $166.41 = $33.59. Choice B, $29.59, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the correct calculation. Choices C and D, $25.59 and $21.59 respectively, are also incorrect as they do not consider the correct total spending amount and subtraction from the initial cash.
