1. Subtract 28 3/4 - 5 5/6.

• A. 22 & 11/12
• B. 23 & 1/2
• C. 34 & 1/12
• D. 22 & 2/3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. Convert 28 3/4 to 28 9/12. Then, subtract 5 5/6 from 28 9/12 to get 22 11/12. Therefore, 28 3/4 - 5 5/6 = 22 & 11/12, which matches choice A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result after finding the common denominator and performing the subtraction.

2. A nurse needs to dilute 2 milliliters of a concentrated medication with 8 milliliters of sterile water. What is the final concentration of the solution in percent?

• A. 16.67%
• B. 20%
• C. 25%
• D. 50%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the final concentration, first, calculate the total volume of the solution (2 ml + 8 ml = 10 ml). Then, determine the concentration by dividing the volume of the concentrated medication by the total volume and multiplying by 100%: (2 ml / 10 ml) * 100% = 20%. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (16.67%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct calculation. Choices C (25%) and D (50%) are both incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate concentration resulting from the dilution process.

3. A bookshelf has triangular shelves with a base of 40cm and a height of 30cm. The depth of the shelf is 25cm. What is the volume of each shelf?

• A. 3000 cu cm
• B. 3750 cu cm
• C. 5000 cu cm
• D. 7500 cu cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the volume of the triangular shelf, first calculate the area of the triangle (1/2 * base * height) which is (1/2 * 40 * 30) = 600 sq cm. Then, multiply this area by the depth of the shelf (600 * 25) = 15000 cu cm. Therefore, the volume of each shelf is 3750 cu cm. Choice A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume based on the dimensions provided.

4. Round to the nearest whole number: What is 18% of 600?

• A. 108
• B. 76
• C. 254
• D. 176

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 18% of 600, you multiply 600 by 0.18, which equals 108. Since 108 is already a whole number, when rounding to the nearest whole number, it remains the same. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for finding 18% of 600.

5. How many grams are in 4 kilograms?

• A. 4000 grams
• B. 3000 grams
• C. 4500 grams
• D. 3500 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 4000 grams. To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, 4 kilograms is equal to 4 x 1000 = 4000 grams. Choice B (3000 grams), C (4500 grams), and D (3500 grams) are incorrect as they do not correctly convert 4 kilograms into grams.
