1. If John buys 3 bags of chips for $4.50, how much will it cost John to buy five bags of chips?

• A. $7.50
• B. $6.00
• C. $5.00
• D. $4.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If 3 bags of chips cost $4.50, then the cost per bag is $4.50/3 = $1.50. To buy five bags, John would need to pay 5 bags * $1.50 = $7.50. Therefore, it will cost John $7.50 to buy five bags of chips. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total cost based on the given information.

2. What is the result of multiplying 10 by 5?

• A. 65
• B. 50
• C. 45
• D. 55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. To find the result of multiplying 10 by 5, you perform the calculation: 10 × 5 = 50. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the accurate product of 10 multiplied by 5.

3. Subtract 14.5 - 7.25.

• A. 7.15
• B. 7.25
• C. 7.15
• D. 7.5

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. When you subtract 7.25 from 14.5, you get 7.25. The difference between 14.5 and 7.25 is 7.25. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A (7.15) is the result of incorrectly subtracting 14.5 - 7.25. Choice C repeats choice A, so it is also wrong. Choice D (7.5) is not the correct result of the subtraction provided in the question.

4. Three nurses worked 8-hour shifts. Nurse 1 monitored 6 patients during her shift. Nurse 2 monitored 8 patients, and Nurse 3 monitored 12 patients. How many patients were monitored in total?

• A. 26 patients
• B. 24 patients
• C. 20 patients
• D. 23 patients

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total number of patients monitored, add the patients monitored by each nurse: 6 (Nurse 1) + 8 (Nurse 2) + 12 (Nurse 3) = 26 patients. Therefore, the correct answer is 26 patients. Choice B (24 patients), Choice C (20 patients), and Choice D (23 patients) are incorrect as they do not correctly sum up the patients monitored by each nurse.

5. There are 225 pieces of candy in a large jar. Ben wants to give the 25 campers in his group an equal amount of candy. How many pieces of candy will each camper receive?

• A. 9 pieces
• B. 7 pieces
• C. 8 pieces
• D. 6 pieces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how many pieces of candy each camper will receive, divide the total number of pieces of candy (225) by the number of campers (25): 225 ÷ 25 = 9 pieces per camper. Therefore, each camper will receive 9 pieces of candy to ensure they all get an equal amount. Choice B, 7 pieces, is incorrect because the total number of candy pieces divided equally among 25 campers results in 9 pieces per camper, not 7. Choice C, 8 pieces, and choice D, 6 pieces, are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division of 225 pieces of candy among 25 campers.
