1. If a dozen roses cost $36, how much will four roses cost?

• A. $9
• B. $12
• C. $10
• D. $15

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the cost of each rose, divide the total cost by the number of roses in a dozen: $36 ÷ 12 = $3 per rose. Therefore, 4 roses will cost 4 × $3 = $12. Choice A ($9) is incorrect because it miscalculates the cost per rose. Choice C ($10) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the correct division of the total cost. Choice D ($15) is incorrect as it overestimates the cost of four roses.

2. Convert 5 3/4 to a decimal. Round to the nearest tenth.

• A. 5.6
• B. 5.7
• C. 5.8
• D. 6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 5 3/4 to a decimal, we add the whole number part to the fractional part: 5 + 3/4 = 5.75. Rounding 5.75 to the nearest tenth gives us 5.8. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (5.6) is incorrect because it does not accurately represent 5 3/4. Choice B (5.7) is incorrect as well because it does not reflect the correct conversion. Choice D (6) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractional part of 5 3/4.

3. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6?

• A. 11.41
• B. 5.73
• C. 2.33
• D. 0.57

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 5.73. When dividing 3.44 by 0.6, the calculation is 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. Choice A (11.41) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying, not dividing. Choice C (2.33) and Choice D (0.57) are also incorrect results obtained by incorrect calculations.

4. 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.

5. What is the result of 0.003 x 4.23?

• A. 0.01269
• B. 0.01029
• C. 0.01419
• D. 0.01329

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.003 and 4.23, multiply the two numbers: 0.003 x 4.23 = 0.01269. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 0.01269. Choice B, 0.01029, is incorrect as it is the result of a different calculation. Choice C, 0.01419, is incorrect because it is not the product of 0.003 and 4.23. Choice D, 0.01329, is also incorrect as it does not represent the correct multiplication result.
