1. If Alice consumes twice as many calories as Claire, and Claire consumes 2,500 calories a day, how many calories does Alice consume per week?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If Claire consumes 2,500 calories a day, Alice, consuming twice as many calories as Claire, would consume 2 * 2,500 = 5,000 calories per day. To find out how many calories Alice consumes per week, we multiply her daily consumption by 7 (days in a week): 5,000 * 7 = 35,000 calories. Therefore, Alice consumes 35,000 calories per week. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not account for Alice consuming twice as many calories as Claire.

2. Divide: 92 ÷ 11 =

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.

3. Calculate the product of the following decimals: (0.67)(0.09)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To multiply decimals, align the numbers as whole numbers, multiply as if they were whole numbers, then adjust the decimal point in the final answer. When multiplying 0.67 by 0.09, the result is 0.0603. To get this result, multiply 67 by 9 to get 603, then adjust the decimal point two places to the left in the final product, resulting in 0.0603. Choice B, 0.6, is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal precision in the multiplication. Choice C, 0.603, is incorrect as it has the digits reversed when compared to the correct answer. Choice D, 0.06, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct product of the two decimals being multiplied.

4. Write the date 1776 in Roman numerals.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In Roman numerals, 1776 is correctly written as MDCCLXXVI. Here's the breakdown: M (1000) + D (500) + CCC (300) + L (50) + XX (20) + VI (6) = 1776. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation of the date 1776 is MDCCLXXVI. Choice A is correct because it follows the correct Roman numeral rules for representing 1776. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not add up to 1776 according to Roman numeral conventions.

5. A nurse needs to administer 0.8 milliliters of medication. The only available syringe measures in teaspoons. How many teaspoons should the nurse use?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 1 milliliter is approximately equal to 0.2 teaspoons. To find out how many teaspoons are in 0.8 milliliters, we can set up a proportion: 0.8 milliliters * 0.2 teaspoons/1 milliliter = 0.16 teaspoons. Since 0.16 teaspoons is not one of the answer choices, we need to convert it to a more practical measurement. The closest option is 0.4 teaspoons, making it the correct answer. Choice A, 0.2 teaspoons, is incorrect because 0.8 milliliters is more than that. Choices C and D, 0.6 teaspoons and 0.8 teaspoons, respectively, are also incorrect based on the conversion factor of 1 milliliter to 0.2 teaspoons.
