1. If a train travels at 80 kilometers per hour, how many kilometers will it travel in 3 hours?

• A. 240 kilometers
• B. 160 kilometers
• C. 240 kilometers
• D. 210 kilometers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance traveled, you need to multiply the speed of the train by the time it travels. So, 80 km/h * 3 hours = 240 kilometers. Therefore, the correct answer is 240 kilometers. Choice B (160 kilometers) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying the speed by 2 hours instead of 3. Choice C (240 kilometers) is the same as the correct answer, making it redundant. Choice D (210 kilometers) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying the speed by 2.5 hours instead of 3.

2. A nurse is reviewing the daily intake and output (I&O) of a patient consuming a clear diet. The urinary drainage bag denotes a total of 1,000 mL for the past 24 hours. The total intake is 2 8-oz cups of coffee, 1 16-oz serving of clear soup, and 1 pint of water. How much is the deficit in milliliters?

• A. 440 mL
• B. 540 mL
• C. 660 mL
• D. 760 mL

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 2 8-oz cups of coffee = 16 oz = 16 × 30 = 480 mL. 1 16-oz serving of clear soup = 16 × 30 = 480 mL. 1 pint of water = 16 oz = 480 mL. Total intake = 480 + 480 + 480 = 1,440 mL. Deficit = 1,440 mL (intake) - 1,000 mL (output) = 440 mL. Therefore, the deficit in milliliters is 440 mL. The correct answer is A. Choice B, 540 mL, is incorrect as it miscalculates the total intake. Choice C, 660 mL, is incorrect as it does not accurately subtract the output from the intake. Choice D, 760 mL, is incorrect as it overestimates the deficit by not considering the correct total intake and output values.

3. How many liters are in 300 milliliters?

• A. 0.3 liters
• B. 3 liters
• C. 0.03 liters
• D. 3.3 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 300 milliliters is equivalent to 0.3 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to move the decimal three places to the left. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 3000 milliliters. Choice C (0.03 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 30 milliliters. Choice D (3.3 liters) is also incorrect as it is not the correct conversion of 300 milliliters.

4. If the ratio and proportion 15:2000=x:200, what is the value of x?

• A. 7
• B. 0
• C. 7,777
• D. 1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the value of x in the given ratio and proportion, we can set up the equation as 15:2000=x:200. Cross multiply to get x * 2000 = 15 * 200. Simplifying this gives x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which is 1. Choice A (7), Choice B (0), and Choice C (7,777) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation of x.

5. Convert 7/8 to a decimal.

• A. 0.8
• B. 0.8
• C. 0.875
• D. 0.9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert the fraction 7/8 to a decimal, you divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (8): 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875. Therefore, the correct decimal representation of the fraction 7/8 is 0.875. Choice A and B, which are both 0.8, are incorrect as they represent 4/5 and not 7/8. Choice D, 0.9, is also incorrect as it represents 9/10 and not 7/8.
