1. How many ounces are there in 4 cups?

• A. 16 ounces
• B. 24 ounces
• C. 28 ounces
• D. 32 ounces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many ounces are in 4 cups, you need to multiply 8 ounces (the number of ounces in 1 cup) by 4 cups. This calculation results in 32 ounces. However, the question asks for the number of ounces in 4 cups, not the total ounces in 4 cups. Therefore, there are 16 ounces in 4 cups. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct conversion of ounces in 4 cups.

2. How many liters are there in 500 milliliters?

• A. 0.5 liters
• B. 5 liters
• C. 50 liters
• D. 500,000 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.5 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 500 milliliters is equal to 0.5 liters. Choice B, 5 liters, is incorrect because it would be the equivalent of 5000 milliliters. Choice C, 50 liters, is incorrect as it is ten times the converted value. Choice D, 500,000 liters, is way off as it is a thousand times more than the correct conversion.

3. An IV bag contains 500ml of saline solution and needs to be infused over 4 hours. What is the flow rate in drops per minute, assuming 20 drops per milliliter?

• A. 12.5 drops/min
• B. 25 drops/min
• C. 50 drops/min
• D. 100 drops/min

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the flow rate in drops per minute, first, calculate the total volume in drops by multiplying the volume in milliliters by the number of drops per milliliter (500ml * 20 drops/ml = 10,000 drops). Then, divide this total number of drops by the infusion time in minutes (4 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 240 minutes) to get the flow rate. Therefore, the correct flow rate is 50 drops/min. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the flow rate. Choice B is incorrect as it also miscalculates the flow rate. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the flow rate.

4. A worker's schedule is written in military time, and shows their shift is from 1500 to 0100. When will they get off work?

• A. A little bit after midnight
• B. 1:00 AM
• C. 3:00 AM
• D. 12:30 AM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.

5. Out of a total of 50 homes, she sold 11. What percentage of the homes did she sell?

• A. 16%
• B. 18%
• C. 22%
• D. 24%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the percentage of homes she sold, divide the number of homes she sold (11) by the total number of homes (50), then multiply by 100. (11 / 50) * 100 = 22%. Therefore, she sold 22% of the homes. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because it is less than the correct percentage. Choice B (18%) is also less than the correct percentage. Choice D (24%) is greater than the correct percentage of homes she sold.
