1. There are 80 mg in 0.8 mL of Acetaminophen Concentrated Infant Drops. If the proper dosage for a four-year-old child is 240 mg, how many milliliters should the child receive?

A. 0.8 mL
B. 1.6 mL
C. 2.4 mL
D. 3.2 mL

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find out how many milliliters the child should receive, divide the total required dosage of 240 mg by the concentration of the medication, which is 80 mg per 0.8 mL. 240 mg ÷ 80 mg/mL = 3 mL. Since each dose is 0.8 mL, the total dosage for the child would be 3 doses x 0.8 mL per dose = 2.4 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.4 mL. Choice A (0.8 mL) is the concentration of the medication, not the total dose. Choices B (1.6 mL) and D (3.2 mL) are incorrect calculations that do not consider the concentration of the medication and the total required dosage correctly.

2. If he pays $270 per month in rent, how much money does he put into his house savings account each month?

A. $90
B. $270
C. $730
D. $810

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is $90. If he pays $270 per month in rent and saves a total of $360 per month, he puts $360 - $270 = $90 into his house savings account each month. Choice B ($270) is incorrect as this amount represents the rent paid, not the amount saved. Choices C ($730) and D ($810) are both significantly higher than the correct amount of $90, making them incorrect as they do not align with the given information in the question.

3. Which of the following is the independent variable in the equation below? f(t)=4t+9

A. f
B. 9
C. t
D. 4

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The independent variable in a function is the variable that is being manipulated or changed to obtain different values. In the equation f(t) = 4t + 9, the variable 't' is the independent variable. It is the variable that the function f(t) depends on, and changing its value will result in different outputs for the function. The other choices, 'f', '9', and '4', are not the independent variable as they do not represent the variable that is being manipulated to determine the function's output.

4. What is the area of a square that measures 3.1m on each side?

A. 12.4m²
B. 9.61m²
C. 6.2m²
D. 9.1m²

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the area of a square, you square the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 3.1m. So, Area = side² = 3.1m × 3.1m = 9.61m². Therefore, the correct answer is 9.61m². Choice A (12.4m²) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 3.1m by 4 instead of squaring it. Choice C (6.2m²) is incorrect as it is half of the correct answer. Choice D (9.1m²) is incorrect as it is the result of squaring the wrong value (3.1²).

5. What is the range in the number of houses sold per year?

A. 20
B. 25
C. 29
D. 35

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The range in the number of houses sold per year is calculated by subtracting the minimum number of houses sold from the maximum number of houses sold. In this case, the range is 42 (maximum) - 11 (minimum) = 31, not 29 as stated in the original rationale. Therefore, choice C (29) is incorrect. Choices A (20), B (25), and D (35) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct range of houses sold per year, which is 31.
