1. What is 80% of $500?

• A. $425
• B. $450
• C. $350
• D. $400

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 80% of $500, you multiply 0.8 by 500. Therefore, 0.8 x 500 = $400. This means that option D, $400, is the correct answer. Option A, $425, is incorrect because it is higher than the calculated value. Option B, $450, is also higher than the correct answer. Option C, $350, is lower than the calculated value. Hence, the correct answer is D, $400.

2. What is the result of adding 6 3/4 + 8 1/6?

• A. 14 & 11/12
• B. 12 & 3/24
• C. 35/6
• D. 14 & 2/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions. 6 3/4 = 27/4 and 8 1/6 = 49/6. Finding a common denominator, we get 27/4 + 49/6 = 81/12 + 98/12 = 179/12 = 14 & 11/12. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it does not simplify to the correct result. Choice C is in fraction form and not in mixed number form, making it incorrect. Choice D is not the correct sum of the given mixed numbers, so it is also incorrect.

3. A table shows the average blood pressure readings for different age groups. How do you determine the highest average systolic pressure?

• A. Find the largest number in the "systolic pressure" column.
• B. Compare the means (averages) of each age group.
• C. Add all systolic pressure values and divide by the total number of patients.
• D. Subtract the lowest systolic pressure from the highest.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: - To determine the highest average systolic pressure, you need to identify the highest individual systolic pressure reading in the dataset. - Option A instructs you to find the largest number in the "systolic pressure" column, which directly addresses the task of identifying the highest systolic pressure reading. - Comparing means (Option B) would not necessarily give you the highest individual systolic pressure reading, as averages can be influenced by the distribution of values within each age group. - Adding all systolic pressure values and dividing by the total number of patients (Option C) would give you the overall average systolic pressure, not the highest individual reading. - Subtracting the lowest systolic pressure from the highest (Option D) would give you the range of systolic pressures, not specifically the highest individual reading. Therefore, the correct approach to determine the highest average systolic pressure

4. How many liters are in 2,000 milliliters?

• A. 4 liters
• B. 1 liter
• C. 2 liters
• D. 4 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 2 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 2,000 milliliters is equal to 2 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly doubles the conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it represents the amount in milliliters, not liters. Choice D is a duplicate of choice A, which is incorrect.

5. How many feet are in 2 miles?

• A. 5280 feet
• B. 15840 feet
• C. 10560 feet
• D. 10200 feet

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to feet, multiply the number of miles by the conversion factor of feet per mile. Since there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, to find the number of feet in 2 miles, you multiply 2 by 5280, resulting in 10560 feet. Choice A, 5280 feet, is the conversion factor for 1 mile, not for 2 miles. Choices B and D are incorrect calculations that do not follow the conversion factor correctly.
