1. The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?
- A. .75 tsp
- B. 1.5 tsp
- C. 1 tsp
- D. 1.25 tsp
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.
2. Teresa began collecting baseball cards exactly 8 months ago, and in that time, she has collected 144 cards. On average, how many baseball cards has she collected per month?
- A. 12
- B. 16
- C. 18
- D. 22
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Teresa collected 144 baseball cards in 8 months. To find the average number of cards collected per month, we divide the total number of cards by the total months: 144 cards ÷ 8 months = 18 cards per month. Therefore, on average, Teresa has collected 18 baseball cards per month. Choice A (12), Choice B (16), and Choice D (22) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation based on the information provided in the question.
3. A worker ships 25 boxes each day. Each box contains 3 shipping labels. The inventory has 500 shipping labels. How many days will it take to use the inventory of shipping labels? Round to the nearest whole.
- A. 7 days
- B. 8 days
- C. 20 days
- D. 6 days
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find out how many days it will take to use the 500 shipping labels, multiply the number of labels used per day (25 boxes * 3 labels/box = 75 labels) by the total number of days the inventory will last (500 labels ÷ 75 labels/day = 6.67 days). Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take 7 days to use the inventory of shipping labels. Choice B (8 days) is incorrect because the calculation yields 6.67 days, which rounds down to 6 days, making it an incorrect answer. Choice C (20 days) and Choice D (6 days) are also incorrect as they are not the nearest whole number to the correct answer of 7 days.
4. In a scale drawing for a toy rocket, 1 inch = 6 inches. If the rocket is 6 inches tall on the drawing, how tall will it be in reality?
- A. 1 foot
- B. 6 feet
- C. 1 yard
- D. 2 yards
Correct answer: B
Rationale: In the scale drawing, 1 inch represents 6 inches in reality. If the rocket is 6 inches tall on the drawing, the actual height of the rocket would be 6 inches x 6 = 36 inches, which is equal to 3 feet or 1 yard. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 feet. Choice A is incorrect because the actual height is more than 1 foot. Choice C is incorrect as 36 inches is equivalent to 1 yard. Choice D is incorrect because 36 inches is not equal to 2 yards.
5. A teacher's aide is preparing a snack for the class. In order to prepare the powdered drink, the aide must convert the directions to metric. The directions say, 'Dilute contents of package in 2 quarts of water.' The aide has a measuring device marked in liters. How many liters of water should be used?
- A. 2
- B. 1
- C. 3 liters
- D. 5 liters
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert 2 quarts to liters, we can use the conversion factor that 1 quart is approximately equal to 0.95 liters. Therefore, 2 quarts would be approximately 1.9 liters, which is closest to 2 liters. As the measuring device is marked in liters, the teacher's aide should use 2 liters of water to dilute the contents of the package. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect because it's the same as the original amount in quarts. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests using more water than necessary. Choice D is incorrect as it suggests using significantly more water than necessary.
