1. What is 70% of 200?

• A. 100
• B. 100
• C. 200
• D. 140

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 70% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.70. Therefore, 70% of 200 is calculated as 0.7 × 200 = 140. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for finding 70% of 200.

2. 5\7 + 3\14 = ?

• A. 13\14
• B. 10/14
• C. 11/14
• D. 12/14

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator. The least common denominator between 7 and 14 is 14. Convert 5/7 to 10/14: 5 / 7 = 10 / 14 5/7=10/14 Now add the two fractions: 10 / 14 + 3 / 14 = 13 / 14 10/14+3/14=13/14

3. If Mr. Johnson gives half of his pay to his family, $250 to his landlord, and has exactly 3/7 of his pay left over, how much pay does he receive?

• A. $3,600
• B. $3,500
• C. $2,800
• D. $1,750

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Let Mr. Johnson's pay be represented as x. After giving half of his pay to his family, he has x/2 left. Subtracting $250 paid to his landlord, he has x/2 - $250 remaining. Given that this remaining amount is 3/7 of his original pay, the equation becomes x/2 - $250 = 3x/7. Solving this equation shows that x = $3,500. Therefore, Mr. Johnson receives $3,500. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculation based on the given conditions in the question.

4. A medication order is written as 3/4 of a tablet. If each tablet is 500mg, what is the equivalent dosage in milligrams?

• A. 375mg
• B. 425mg
• C. 450mg
• D. 475mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Each tablet is 500mg. - The medication order is for 3/4 of a tablet. - To find the equivalent dosage in milligrams, we need to calculate 3/4 of 500mg. - 3/4 of 500mg = (3/4) * 500mg = 0.75 * 500mg = 375mg. - Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milligrams is 375mg.

5. What is the boiling point of water in degrees Fahrenheit?

• A. 100°F
• B. 200°F
• C. 212°F
• D. 250°F

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: '212°F.' The boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure is 212°F. This is the temperature at which water transitions from a liquid to a gas phase, known as boiling. It is a fundamental property of water and a crucial point to remember for various applications in science and everyday life. Choice A (100°F) is the boiling point of water in degrees Celsius, not Fahrenheit. Choice B (200°F) and Choice D (250°F) are not correct boiling points for water at standard atmospheric pressure.
