1. How many liters are there in 2,500 milliliters?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert 2,500 milliliters to liters, you divide by 1,000: 2,500 milliliters / 1,000 = 2.5 liters. Therefore, choice A, '2.5 liters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '25 liters,' is incorrect as it would be the result if you mistakenly multiplied instead of dividing. Choice C, '250 liters,' is incorrect as it is 100 times the correct answer. Choice D, '25,000 liters,' is significantly higher and not a conversion error but an order of magnitude error.

2. What is 7 1/8 + 2 4/12 equal to?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first convert the fractions to a common denominator. The least common denominator between 8 and 12 is 24. Converting 7 1/8 to 7 3/24 (since 1/8 = 3/24) and 2 4/12 to 2 8/24 (since 4/12 = 8/24), we can add the whole numbers separately to get 9. Then, adding the fractions 3/24 and 8/24 gives 11/24. Therefore, 7 1/8 + 2 4/12 equals 9 11/24. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct addition of mixed numbers with the appropriate conversion of fractions.

3. Multiply: 35 × 25 =

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To multiply 35 × 25, break it down into (30 + 5) × 25. Now distribute: (30 × 25) + (5 × 25) = 750 + 125 = 875. Therefore, 35 × 25 = 875. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of multiplying 35 by 25. Choice A is 1000 times smaller than the correct answer, Choice B is 100 times smaller, and Choice C is 10 times smaller, making them all incorrect. The correct answer is Choice D, 8.75.

4. Express 0.608 as a percent.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percentage sign. Therefore, 0.608 as a percent is 60.8%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (68%) is incorrect because it represents the percentage for a different decimal value. Choice C (0%) is incorrect as it represents 0 as a percentage, not 0.608. Choice D (6%) is incorrect as it also represents a different decimal value, not 0.608.

5. A patient's oxygen flow rate is set at 4 liters per minute. How many cubic centimeters of oxygen are delivered per minute?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 1 liter is equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters. Therefore, when the oxygen flow rate is 4 liters per minute, the calculation is 4 x 1,000 = 4,000 cubic centimeters. Hence, at a flow rate of 4 liters per minute, 4,000 cubic centimeters of oxygen are delivered per minute. Choice A, 400 cubic centimeters, is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion from liters to cubic centimeters. Choices C and D, 40,000 cubic centimeters and 400,000 cubic centimeters, respectively, are significantly higher than the correct answer due to incorrect conversions or additional errors in calculation.
