1. Multiply: 52 × 04 =

• A. 0.00208
• B. 0.0208
• C. 0.208
• D. 2.08

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 52 by 04, you first multiply the two numbers together: 52 x 4 = 208. Since there are two decimal places in the expression, you need to divide the result by 100, which gives you 0.0208. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (0.00208) is incorrect because it represents a much smaller value obtained by considering the decimal incorrectly. Choice C (0.208) is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal placement. Choice D (2.08) is incorrect as it does not consider the requirement to convert the result into decimal form.

2. Farmer Juan has 14 acres with an average yield of 17460 eggs per acre. The profit per egg is $1.65. What profit should Farmer Juan expect?

• A. $403,326
• B. $148,145.45
• C. $244,440
• D. $2,057.79

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate Farmer Juan's profit, multiply the number of acres (14) by the yield per acre (17460 eggs) and by the profit per egg ($1.65): 14 acres * 17460 eggs * $1.65 = $403,326. Therefore, Farmer Juan should expect a profit of $403,326. Choice A is correct as it accurately calculates the total profit based on the given information. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly compute the total profit from the provided data.

3. If blank CDs cost 36 cents for two, how much does it cost to buy 10 blank CDs?

• A. $0.90
• B. $1.35
• C. $1.80
• D. $3.60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If two blank CDs cost 36 cents, each blank CD costs 18 cents (36 cents / 2). To find the cost of 10 blank CDs, you multiply the cost of one CD by the total number of CDs: 18 cents x 10 = $1.80. Therefore, it would cost $1.80 to buy 10 blank CDs. Choice A ($0.90) is incorrect because it miscalculates the cost per CD. Choice B ($1.35) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total number of CDs. Choice D ($3.60) is incorrect as it miscalculates the cost of one CD.

4. What is 40% of 150?

• A. 60
• B. 65
• C. 70
• D. 85

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 40% of 150, you multiply 150 by 0.40 (which represents 40% in decimal form). This calculation results in 60. Therefore, choice A, 60, is the correct answer. Choice B (65), choice C (70), and choice D (85) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation for finding 40% of 150.

5. 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?

• A. 440 mL
• B. 540 mL
• C. 660 mL
• D. 760 mL

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.
