1. How many grams are in 8 kilograms?

• A. 80000 grams
• B. 800 grams
• C. 80000 grams
• D. 8000 grams

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 8 kilograms = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 grams. The correct answer is 8,000 grams, which is option D. Choices A and C are incorrect as they incorrectly multiply by 10,000 instead of 1,000. Choice B is incorrect as it divides 8 by 10 instead of multiplying by 1,000.

2. A patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. If they weigh 150 pounds, how many tablets should they take?

• A. 5
• B. 10
• C. 15
• D. 20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - The patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. - If the patient weighs 150 pounds, we can calculate the number of tablets needed by dividing the weight by 30 and then multiplying by 2. - 150 pounds / 30 pounds = 5 - 5 x 2 = 10 tablets - Therefore, the patient should take 10 tablets.

3. Eighty percent of the class passed with a 75 or higher. If that percentage equals 24 students, how many students were in the whole class?

• A. 18
• B. 30
• C. 36
• D. 60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If 80% of the class passed with a 75 or higher, and that equals 24 students, you can set up a proportion to find the total number of students in the class. Since 80% is equal to 24 students, 100% (the whole class) would be equal to (24/80) x 100 = 30 students. Therefore, the total number of students in the whole class is 30 / 80 x 100 = 36. Choice A (18) is incorrect as it does not match the calculation based on the information given. Choice B (30) is incorrect because it represents the intermediate calculation but not the total number of students in the class. Choice D (60) is incorrect as it is double the correct answer and does not align with the given information.

4. Multiply: 15 × 52 =

• A. 0.0078
• B. 0.078
• C. 0.78
• D. 7.8

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 15 and 52, you simply multiply them together: 15 x 52 = 780. Therefore, the correct answer is 7.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they represent fractions or decimals much smaller than the correct product of 780.

5. The plane is due to land at 6:20 P.M. What would that be in military time?

• A. 620
• B. 1820
• C. 6020
• D. 6200

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In military time, the afternoon and evening hours are represented by adding 12 to the standard time. Therefore, 6:20 P.M. would be equivalent to 18:20 in military time. To convert from P.M. to military time, simply add 12 hours to the given time. Choice A, '620,' is incorrect because it does not account for converting to military time. Choice C, '6020,' is incorrect as military time uses a 24-hour clock format, and the hour digit should not exceed 23. Choice D, '6200,' is incorrect as it does not follow the military time format where the hour part ranges from 00 to 23.
