1. Multiply: 2 × 5 =

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When you multiply 2 by 5, the result is 10, not 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 10, which is option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2 by 5.

2. 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.

3. 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?

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.

4. Convert 63 grams to mg.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. So, to convert 63 grams to milligrams, you would calculate 63 * 1000 = 63,000 milligrams. Therefore, the correct answer is 63,000 mg. Choice A (630 mg) is incorrect as it would be the converted value if the original amount was 0.63 grams. Choice B (63 mg) is incorrect as it is the same value as the original grams. Choice D (63,000 mg) is incorrect as it is the same as the correct answer, but with a comma which is not standard when expressing numerical values.

5. How many ounces are in 4 quarts?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 128 ounces. There are 32 ounces in a quart, so when you have 4 quarts, you multiply 4 by 32 to get the total number of ounces, which equals 128. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from quarts to ounces.
