1. How many grams of carbohydrates are in a product if it contains 4 servings, and each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates?

• A. 32 grams
• B. 28 grams
• C. 24 grams
• D. 20 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total grams of carbohydrates in the product, you multiply the number of servings by the grams of carbohydrates per serving. Given that each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates and there are 4 servings, the total would be 4 servings * 8 grams = 32 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total grams of carbohydrates based on the information provided.

2. Express 0.75 as a fraction.

• A. 4/5
• B. 3/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To express 0.75 as a fraction, we write it as 75/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 3/4. Therefore, 0.75 is equivalent to 3/4. Choice A (4/5), Choice C (1/2), and Choice D (1/4) are incorrect fractions and do not represent 0.75.

3. A medication order is written as 3/4 of a tablet. If each tablet is 500mg, what is the equivalent dosage in milligrams?

• A. 375mg
• B. 425mg
• C. 450mg
• D. 475mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Each tablet is 500mg. - The medication order is for 3/4 of a tablet. - To find the equivalent dosage in milligrams, we need to calculate 3/4 of 500mg. - 3/4 of 500mg = (3/4) * 500mg = 0.75 * 500mg = 375mg. - Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milligrams is 375mg.

4. A family uses 12 gallons of water every day. How many gallons do they use in a non-leap year?

• A. 4,120 gallons
• B. 4,380 gallons
• C. 3,840 gallons
• D. 4,350 gallons

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the total gallons the family uses in a non-leap year, you have to multiply the daily consumption by the number of days in a non-leap year. So, 12 gallons/day x 365 days = 4,380 gallons used per year. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect as it provides an inaccurate total by not considering the total days in a year. Choice C is incorrect as it offers a lower value due to not multiplying the daily usage by the total days in a year. Choice D is incorrect as it doesn't accurately calculate the total gallons used in a non-leap year.

5. If a person can type 45 words per minute, how many words can they type in 20 minutes?

• A. 800 words
• B. 850 words
• C. 900 words
• D. 750 words

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find out how many words a person can type in 20 minutes at a speed of 45 words per minute, you multiply the typing speed (45 words/minute) by the duration (20 minutes): 45 words/minute x 20 minutes = 900 words. Hence, the correct answer is 900 words. Choice A (800 words) is incorrect because it results from multiplying 45 words per minute by 18 minutes, not 20. Choice B (850 words) is incorrect as it is not the product of 45 words per minute and 20 minutes. Choice D (750 words) is incorrect because it is the outcome of multiplying 45 words per minute by 15 minutes, not 20.
