1. How many milliliters are in 6 liters?

• A. 60 milliliters
• B. 6000 milliliters
• C. 600 milliliters
• D. 0.6 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 6000 milliliters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1,000. Therefore, 6 liters = 6 × 1,000 = 6,000 milliliters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters.

2. How many centimeters are in 6 meters?

• A. 600 cm
• B. 60 cm
• C. 1000 cm
• D. 500 cm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert meters to centimeters, you need to multiply the number of meters by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, 6 meters is equal to 6 * 100 = 600 cm. Choice A is correct. Choice B (60 cm) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 0.6 meters to centimeters. Choice C (1000 cm) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 10 meters to centimeters. Choice D (500 cm) is incorrect because it is halfway between the conversions of 5 meters (500 cm) and 6 meters (600 cm).

3. Divide: 92 ÷ 11 =

• A. 8 r3
• B. 8 r4
• C. 8 r7
• D. 9 r1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 92 by 11, you get 8 as the whole number part of the quotient. The remainder is 4, so the correct answer is 8 r4. Choice A, 8 r3, is incorrect because the remainder is 4, not 3. Choice C, 8 r7, is incorrect as the remainder cannot be greater than the divisor. Choice D, 9 r1, is incorrect as the whole number part of the quotient is 8, not 9.

4. Divide: 5 ÷ 9 =

• A. 0.05
• B. 0.5
• C. 5
• D. 50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When dividing 5 by 9, you are finding how many times 9 can fit into 5. Since 9 is greater than 5, the result will be less than 1. Therefore, 5 ÷ 9 equals 0.555... which is approximately 0.5. Choice A (0.05) is incorrect because it implies a smaller value than the correct answer. Choice C (5) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 5 by 9. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it is a much larger value than the correct answer.

5. A hospital day staff consists of 25 registered nurses, 75 unlicensed assistants, 5 phlebotomists, 6 receptionists, and 45 physicians. On one particular day, the staff was at only 68% strength. How many people were working that day? (Round to the nearest whole number).

• A. 102
• B. 106
• C. 98
• D. 110

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total staff working that day, add up all the staff members: 25 registered nurses + 75 unlicensed assistants + 5 phlebotomists + 6 receptionists + 45 physicians = 156 staff members. Since the staff was at 68% strength, multiply 156 by 0.68 to get 106. Therefore, approximately 106 people were working that day. Choice A, 102, is incorrect because it underestimates the total staff. Choice C, 98, is incorrect because it is too low. Choice D, 110, is incorrect because it overestimates the total staff.
