1. How many ounces are in 2 quarts?

• A. 8 ounces
• B. 16 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to multiply by 32 (1 quart = 32 ounces). Therefore, 2 quarts x 32 ounces/quart = 64 ounces. Hence, there are 64 ounces in 2 quarts. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from quarts to ounces.

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. Solve for x: 5x + 10 = 20.

• A. 4
• B. 2
• C. 5
• D. 7

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 5x + 10 = 20, first subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the term with x: 5x = 10. Then, divide by 5 on both sides to find the value of x: x = 2. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect because x is not equal to 2 but 4. Choice C is incorrect as x is not equal to 5. Choice D is incorrect as x is not equal to 7.

4. What is 20% of 2?

• A. 0.4
• B. 0.2
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 20% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.20. In this case, 0.20 * 2 = 0.4. Therefore, 0.4 is 20% of 2. Choice A (0.4) is correct. Choice B (0.2) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 2, not 20%. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it is not the result of calculating 20% of 2. Choice D (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 5% of 2, not 20%.

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

• A. 9 11/24
• B. 10 1/3
• C. 8 3/8
• D. 7 7/24

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.
