1. Last night at the hospital, 76 babies were born. Of the births, 45% were girls. How many boys were born last night? (Round your numbers to the nearest whole number).

• A. 42
• B. 34
• C. 35
• D. 36

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When 45% of the babies were girls, it means the remaining 55% were boys. To determine the number of boys, calculate 55% of 76, which equals approximately 41.8, rounding up to 42. Therefore, 42 boys were born last night at the hospital. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation of the number of boys born.

2. A patient's height is 1.65 meters and their weight is 75kg. Calculate their BMI and interpret the result.

• A. 23.1 (Normal)
• B. 25.3 (Overweight)
• C. 27.7 (Overweight)
• D. 32.8 (Obese)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate BMI, divide weight (75kg) by height squared (1.65m^2) to get BMI (27.7). A BMI of 27.7 falls within the 'overweight' category (25-29.9 BMI). Choice A is incorrect as a BMI of 23.1 would be in the 'normal' range (18.5-24.9 BMI). Choice B is incorrect as 25.3 falls within the 'overweight' category. Choice D is incorrect as 32.8 is in the 'obese' category (>30 BMI). Therefore, the correct answer is C.

3. After spending $75.64 at one store and $22.43 at the next store, how much money does the shopper have left if they started with $100.00?

• A. $1.93
• B. $5.00
• C. $0.72
• D. $20.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much money the shopper has left, add the amounts spent: $75.64 + $22.43 = $98.07. Then, subtract the total spent from the starting amount: $100.00 - $98.07 = $1.93 left. Therefore, choice A, $1.93, is the correct answer. Choice B, $5.00, is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C, $0.72, is incorrect as it does not consider the total amount spent. Choice D, $20.13, is incorrect because it does not reflect the remaining amount after the expenses.

4. What number is 6 equal to 15% of?

• A. 0.9
• B. 40
• C. 80
• D. 90

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number that 6 is equal to 15% of, we set up the equation 0.15x = 6, where x is the unknown number. To solve for x, we divide 6 by 0.15, which gives us x = 40. Therefore, 6 is equal to 15% of the number 40. Choice A (0.9) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 6 by 0.15. Choices C (80) and D (90) are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 0.15x = 6.

5. How many feet are in 2 miles?

• A. 5280 feet
• B. 15840 feet
• C. 10560 feet
• D. 10200 feet

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to feet, multiply the number of miles by the conversion factor of feet per mile. Since there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, to find the number of feet in 2 miles, you multiply 2 by 5280, resulting in 10560 feet. Choice A, 5280 feet, is the conversion factor for 1 mile, not for 2 miles. Choices B and D are incorrect calculations that do not follow the conversion factor correctly.
