1. What is the result of subtracting 9.99 from 12.02?

• A. 2.03
• B. 2.21
• C. 3.17
• D. 7.97

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct subtraction is 12.02 - 9.99 = 2.03. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, 2.21, is incorrect as it does not result from the given subtraction. Choice C, 3.17, is also incorrect. Choice D, 7.97, is incorrect as well. Thus, A is the only correct answer.

2. What is 75% of 80?

• A. 35
• B. 45
• C. 70
• D. 60

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate 75% of 80, you multiply 0.75 by 80, which equals 60. Therefore, the correct answer is 60. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent 75% of 80. Choice A (35) is close to 50% of 80, Choice B (45) is close to 56.25% of 80, and Choice C (70) exceeds 80.

3. If a person consumes 500 calories per meal, how many calories will they consume in 3 meals?

• A. 1000 calories
• B. 1500 calories
• C. 2000 calories
• D. 500 calories

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total calories consumed in 3 meals, you multiply the number of meals by the calories per meal: 3 meals x 500 calories/meal = 1500 calories. Therefore, the correct answer is 1500 calories. Choice A (1000 calories) is incorrect because it miscalculates the total calories. Choice C (2000 calories) is incorrect as it overestimates the total calories. Choice D (500 calories) is incorrect as it represents the calories consumed in a single meal, not in 3 meals.

4. How many liters are in 5000 milliliters?

• A. 5 liters
• B. 4 liters
• C. 6 liters
• D. 5.5 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1000 since 1000 milliliters make up 1 liter. In this case, 5000 milliliters divided by 1000 milliliters per liter equals 5 liters (5000 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 5 L). Therefore, the correct answer is A: 5 liters. Choice B, 4 liters, is incorrect because 5000 milliliters is equivalent to 5 liters, not 4. Choice C, 6 liters, is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion from milliliters to liters in this case. Choice D, 5.5 liters, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion of 5000 milliliters to liters, which is 5 liters.

5. A patient is prescribed 500 mg of medication, but the available tablets are 250 mg each. How many tablets should be given?

• A. 3 tablets
• B. 2 tablets
• C. 4 tablets
• D. 5 tablets

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many tablets of 250 mg are needed to reach a total of 500 mg, you divide the total prescribed dosage by the dosage per tablet. In this case, 500 mg / 250 mg per tablet = 2 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 tablets. Choice A (3 tablets) is incorrect because it would exceed the prescribed dosage. Choices C (4 tablets) and D (5 tablets) are incorrect as they would also provide more medication than needed.
