1. What is 15% of 95?

• A. 14.25
• B. 18.5
• C. 24.25
• D. 28.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 15% of 95, you multiply 95 by 0.15 (which represents 15% as a decimal). Therefore, 95 * 0.15 = 14.25. The correct answer is A. Choice B, 18.5, is incorrect as it does not represent 15% of 95. Choices C and D, 24.25 and 28.5, are also incorrect calculations for 15% of 95.

2. How many bones are in the human foot?

• A. 6
• B. 16
• C. 26
• D. 36

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 26. The human foot consists of 26 bones, including tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, and phalanges. These bones collaborate to offer support, flexibility, and stability for various activities like standing, walking, and running. Choice A (6) is incorrect as it is too low for the number of bones in the human foot. Choice B (16) is incorrect as it underestimates the actual number of bones in the foot. Choice D (36) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of bones in the human foot.

3. What is the composition of the plasma membrane?

• A. Proteins
• B. Lipids
• C. Carbohydrates
• D. Nucleotides

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The plasma membrane is composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. While proteins are an essential component of the plasma membrane, it is not the only constituent. Carbohydrates and lipids also play crucial roles in the structure and function of the plasma membrane. Nucleotides are not part of the primary structural components of the plasma membrane, making this choice incorrect.

4. What is the result of subtracting 7 7/10 from 3 4/5?

• A. 3 9/10
• B. 4
• C. 3
• D. 5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract 7 7/10 from 3 4/5, first convert 3 4/5 to have the same denominator as 7 7/10. Converting 4/5 to 8/10, the subtraction becomes 7 7/10 - 3 8/10. Subtracting, 7 - 3 = 4 and 7/10 - 8/10 = -1/10. Therefore, the result is 3 4/5 - 7 7/10 = 3 9/10. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction of fractions and whole numbers in this scenario.

5. Multiply: 2 × 5 =

• A. 0.013
• B. 0.13
• C. 1.3
• D. 10

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When you multiply 2 by 5, the result is 10, not 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 10, which is option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2 by 5.
