1. Solve for y if y = 3: 4y + 21 / y.

• A. 7.7
• B. 19
• C. 23/3
• D. 11

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve for y, substitute y = 3 into the equation: 4(3) + 21 / 3 = 12 + 7 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 19. Choice A (7.7) is incorrect as it does not result from the substitution. Choice C (23/3) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (11) is incorrect, as it is not the result of the provided equation.

2. In a class of 28 people, there are 12 men and 16 women. What is the ratio of men to women?

• A. 3:4
• B. 4:7
• C. 12:16
• D. 1:2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct ratio of men to women is 3:4. To find the ratio, divide the number of men by the number of women: 12 men / 16 women = 3/4, which simplifies to 3:4. Therefore, in a class of 28 people with 12 men and 16 women, the ratio of men to women is 3:4. Choice B (4:7) is incorrect because it does not accurately reflect the given numbers of men and women in the class. Choice C (12:16) is incorrect as it represents the actual count of men and women, not the ratio. Choice D (1:2) is incorrect as it does not match the proportion of men to women in the class.

3. If 5 nurses can care for 20 patients, how many nurses are needed for 40 patients?

• A. 7
• B. 8
• C. 9
• D. 10

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If 5 nurses can care for 20 patients, it means each nurse is responsible for 20/5 = 4 patients. To care for 40 patients, we divide the total patients by the number of patients each nurse can care for: 40/4 = 10 nurses. Therefore, 10 nurses are needed for 40 patients. Among the options, the closest number is 8 nurses, making it the correct answer. Choice A, 7 nurses, is insufficient. Choice C, 9 nurses, exceeds the required amount. Choice D, 10 nurses, matches the total number of nurses required, not the closest, making it incorrect.

4. What is the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5?

• A. 4.8
• B. 4.9
• C. 4.6
• D. 4.7

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct subtraction is 9.5 - 4.7 = 4.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.8. Choice B (4.9) is incorrect because 9.5 - 4.7 is not equal to 4.9. Choice C (4.6) is incorrect as it is not the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5. Choice D (4.7) is the number being subtracted and not the result of the subtraction.

5. Multiply: 32 × 5 and express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.0016
• B. 0.016
• C. 0.16
• D. 1.6

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 32 and 5, you simply multiply the two numbers: 32 × 5 = 160. Therefore, when expressed in decimal form, the answer is 1.6. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct multiplication result in decimal form. Choice A is way too small, choice B is also too small, and choice C is close but still not the correct result.
