1. Multiply: 22 × 75 = and express the answer in decimal form.

• A. 0.00165
• B. 0.0165
• C. 0.165
• D. 16.5

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 16.5. To find the product of 22 and 75, you multiply the two numbers together. Therefore, 22 × 75 = 1650, which is correctly represented as 16.5 in decimal form. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct decimal form of the product of 22 and 75. Choice A, 0.00165, is incorrect as it is a very small value that does not match the result of multiplying 22 and 75. Choice B, 0.0165, is also incorrect as it is one tenth of the correct answer. Choice C, 0.165, is incorrect as it is one hundredth of the correct answer. Therefore, the only correct representation in decimal form for the product of 22 and 75 is 16.5.

2. Convert 2/5 to a decimal.

• A. 0.5
• B. 0.25
• C. 0.4
• D. 0.5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 2/5 to a decimal, you divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (5): 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4. Therefore, the correct decimal representation of 2/5 is 0.4. Choice A (0.5) is incorrect because it represents 1/2, not 2/5. Choice B (0.25) is incorrect as it represents 1/4, not 2/5. Choice D (0.5) is incorrect as it also represents 1/2, not 2/5.

3. A nurse administers 150mg of medication every 4 hours. How many milligrams will the patient receive in 24 hours?

• A. 300mg
• B. 600mg
• C. 750mg
• D. 900mg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: - The patient receives 150mg of medication every 4 hours. - To calculate how many milligrams the patient will receive in 24 hours, we need to determine how many times the medication is administered in 24 hours. - Since the medication is administered every 4 hours, there are 24 hours in a day, so the medication will be administered 24 / 4 = 6 times in 24 hours. - Therefore, the total amount of medication the patient will receive in 24 hours is 150mg x 6 = 900mg.

4. A patient's temperature is measured as 38.5 degrees Celsius. What is their temperature in Fahrenheit?

• A. 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit
• B. 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit
• C. 103.1 degrees Fahrenheit
• D. 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Given that the patient's temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius: °F = (38.5 × 9/5) + 32. °F = (69.3) + 32. °F = 101.3. Therefore, the patient's temperature in Fahrenheit is 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit (rounded to one decimal place). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit based on the provided formula.

5. What is 70% of 110?

• A. 77
• B. 79
• C. 81
• D. 83

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find 70% of 110, you need to multiply 110 by 0.7. Therefore, 110 * 0.7 = 77. The correct answer is 81, not 77. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not the product of multiplying 110 by 0.7, which is the correct method for finding 70% of 110.
