1. What is the boiling point of water?

• A. 100°C
• B. 98°C
• C. 99°C
• D. 102°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 100°C (Choice A). The boiling point of water is the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas. Under normal atmospheric pressure, water boils at 100°C. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the standard boiling point of water. 98°C, 99°C, and 102°C do not correspond to the temperature at which water boils under normal conditions.

2. A worker in a warehouse ships 9 boxes each day. If every box must contain 3 shipping labels, how many shipping labels does the worker need each day?

• A. 24 labels
• B. 27 labels
• C. 20 labels
• D. 30 labels

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total number of shipping labels needed, multiply the number of boxes by the labels per box: 9 boxes * 3 labels per box = 27 labels. Therefore, the worker needs 27 shipping labels each day. Choice A, 24 labels, is incorrect because it results from multiplying 9 boxes by 3 labels without calculating the correct total. Choice C, 20 labels, is incorrect as it underestimates the total number of labels needed. Choice D, 30 labels, is incorrect as it overestimates the total by multiplying incorrectly.

3. What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/2
• B. 1/6
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1/6. When rolling a six-sided die, there is only one outcome that results in a '4' out of a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6. Choice A (1/2) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die, not specifically a '4.' Choice C (1/3) and Choice D (1/2) do not accurately reflect the probability of rolling a '4' on a six-sided die.

4. In a bowling team consisting of 34 members, with 18 being male, if 4 females leave the team, what percent of the remaining members are male?

• A. 50%
• B. 60%
• C. 70%
• D. 55%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After 4 females leave the team, there are 30 members remaining. Out of these, 18 are male. To find the percentage of male members, divide the number of male members (18) by the total number of remaining members (30) and multiply by 100. Percentage of male members = (18/30) * 100 = 60%. Therefore, 60% of the remaining members are male. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the information provided in the question.

5. A nurse administers 150mg of medication every 4 hours. How many milligrams will the patient receive in 24 hours?

• A. 300mg
• B. 600mg
• C. 750mg
• D. 900mg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: - The patient receives 150mg of medication every 4 hours. - To calculate how many milligrams the patient will receive in 24 hours, we need to determine how many times the medication is administered in 24 hours. - Since the medication is administered every 4 hours, there are 24 hours in a day, so the medication will be administered 24 / 4 = 6 times in 24 hours. - Therefore, the total amount of medication the patient will receive in 24 hours is 150mg x 6 = 900mg.
