1. Jan canned 5 gallons of homemade tomatoes. She needs to purchase quart jars to finish the process. How many quart jars will she need to buy for her tomatoes?

• A. 10
• B. 15
• C. 20
• D. 25

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of quart jars needed, we first need to convert the gallons to quarts. Since 1 gallon equals 4 quarts, 5 gallons will be equal to 5 * 4 = 20 quarts. Therefore, Jan will need to buy 20 quart jars to store her canned tomatoes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert the gallons to quarts, leading to an incorrect quantity of jars required.

2. The physician orders 60 mg of Augmentin; 80 mg/mL is on hand. How many milliliters will you give?

• A. 1 ml
• B. 0.5 ml
• C. 0.75 ml
• D. 1.25 ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume required, divide the prescribed dose (60 mg) by the concentration available (80 mg/mL): 60 mg ÷ 80 mg/mL = 0.75 mL. Therefore, 0.75 mL is the correct amount to administer. Choice A (1 ml) is incorrect as it does not consider the concentration of the solution. Choice B (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it is half the correct amount. Choice D (1.25 ml) is incorrect as it is more than the calculated correct amount.

3. Find the value of x if x:15=120:225.

• A. x=8
• B. x=10
• C. x=6
• D. x=12

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve x:15=120:225, set it up as a proportion: x/15 = 120/225. Simplify the right-hand side: 120/225 = 8/15. Now, solve for x by cross-multiplying: x = 8. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculations.

4. How many kilograms are in 2000 grams?

• A. 20 kilograms
• B. 2 kilograms
• C. 5 kilograms
• D. 10 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 2000 grams is equal to 2 kilograms (2000 grams ÷ 1000 = 2 kilograms). The correct answer is B: 2 kilograms. Choice A, 20 kilograms, is incorrect because multiplying by 10 (not dividing by 1000) would give that result. Choice C, 5 kilograms, and Choice D, 10 kilograms, are also incorrect as they do not correctly convert grams to kilograms.

5. How many pounds are in 48 ounces?

• A. 3 lbs
• B. 6 lbs
• C. 4 lbs
• D. 8 lbs

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find out how many pounds are in 48 ounces, you divide 48 by 16: 48 ÷ 16 = 3 pounds. This means that 48 ounces is equivalent to 3 pounds. Choice B, 6 lbs, is incorrect as it doesn't correctly convert 48 ounces to pounds. Choice C, 4 lbs, is incorrect as it doesn't take into account the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pound. Choice D, 8 lbs, is also incorrect as it doesn't reflect the accurate conversion of ounces to pounds.
