1. Temperature Conversion & Interpretation: A patient's body temperature is 102°F. Convert this to °C and assess if it indicates a fever.

• A. 37�C (Normal)
• B. 39�C (Low-grade fever)
• C. 39�C (Fever)
• D. 42�C (Hyperthermia)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: 1. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. 2. Given that the patient's body temperature is 102°F, we can calculate the equivalent temperature in Celsius: °C = (102 - 32) x 5/9 °C = 70 x 5/9 °C = 350/9 °C ≈ 38.9°C, which can be rounded to 39°C. 3. A body temperature of 39°C is considered to indicate a fever. Normal body temperature typically ranges from 36.1°C to 37.2°C, so a temperature of 39°C is higher than the normal range and suggests a fever. 4. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not reflect the conversion of 102°F to °C

2. Donald earns 8% of the selling price of each house he sells. If he sells a house for $152,000, how much does he earn?

• A. $12,160
• B. $12,160
• C. $19,000
• D. $21,600

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate how much Donald earns from selling a house for $152,000 at an 8% commission rate, we multiply the selling price by the commission rate: $152,000 x 0.08 = $12,160. Therefore, he earns $12,160. Choice A, $12,160, is the correct answer as calculated. Choices C and D are incorrect amounts as they do not result from the given information. Choice C, $19,000, is significantly higher than the correct calculation, and choice D, $21,600, is the result of incorrectly adding the commission to the selling price instead of calculating the commission earned.

3. A die is rolled. What is the probability of getting a 5?

• A. 50%
• B. 20%
• C. 16.60%
• D. 83.30%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (16.60%). When rolling a standard 6-sided die, the probability of getting a 5 is 1/6 or approximately 16.6%. Choice A (50%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of getting a specific number on a coin flip, not a die roll. Choice B (20%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the probability of rolling a 5 on a standard die. Choice D (83.30%) is incorrect as it is the complement of the probability of rolling a 5, which is not asked in the question.

4. A school has 500 students, and 60% of them are girls. How many girls are there in the school?

• A. 250 girls
• B. 300 girls
• C. 200 girls
• D. 350 girls

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Correct! To find out how many girls are in the school, you need to calculate 60% of 500. 60% of 500 is 0.6 * 500 = 300. Therefore, there are 300 girls in the school. Choice A (250 girls) is incorrect because 60% of 500 is not 250. Choice C (200 girls) is incorrect as it is less than 300. Choice D (350 girls) is incorrect as it is more than 300.

5. What is 54% of $789.56?

• A. $426.36
• B. $426.37
• C. $363.20
• D. $526.38

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate 54% of $789.56, you multiply 0.54 by 789.56, which equals $426.36. Therefore, choice A, $426.36, is the correct answer. Choice B, $426.37, is incorrect as it is a slightly higher value. Choice C, $363.20, is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct answer. Choice D, $526.38, is incorrect as it is higher than the correct calculation result.
