1. What is the temperature in Celsius when it is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit?

• A. 35 Celsius
• B. 37 Celsius
• C. 38 Celsius
• D. 36.5 Celsius

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula (98.6 - 32) × 5/9. By solving this equation, the temperature is calculated to be 37°C. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 37 Celsius. Choice A, 35 Celsius, is incorrect because it is not the outcome of the conversion formula. Choice C, 38 Celsius, is incorrect as well, as it does not match the correct conversion result. Choice D, 36.5 Celsius, is also incorrect as it does not correspond to the accurate conversion from 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. The head nurse at the hospital has a team of six nurses and one phlebotomist. If the phlebotomist is responsible for 1/7 of the patients, what fraction of the patients is each nurse responsible for?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/7
• C. 1/8
• D. 1/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/6. The phlebotomist is responsible for 1/7 of the patients, leaving 6/7 of the patients for the six nurses. To find out the fraction of patients each nurse is responsible for, divide the remaining patients (6/7) among the six nurses. This results in each nurse being responsible for 1/6 of the patients. Choice B, 1/7, is incorrect because that is the fraction assigned to the phlebotomist. Choices C and D, 1/8 and 1/5, are incorrect fractions and do not reflect the correct distribution of patients among the nurses.

3. How many feet are in 6 meters?

• A. 1.83 feet
• B. 18.48 feet
• C. 18.8 feet
• D. 19.68 feet

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to feet, you can use the conversion factor: 1 meter = 3.28084 feet. Therefore, for 6 meters: 6 × 3.28084 = 19.684 feet. Rounding to two decimal places, the answer is 19.68 feet. Choice D, 19.68 feet, is the correct conversion. Choice A, 1.83 feet, is incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation. Choice B, 18.48 feet, is incorrect as it doesn't match the correct conversion. Choice C, 18.8 feet, is also incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion from 6 meters to feet.

4. A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles she ran in 1 hour. The second set of 6 miles in 1.2 hours. The third set of 6 miles in 1.5 hours. The fourth set of 6 miles in 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?

• A. 5 hours
• B. 5.3 hours
• C. 4 hours
• D. 6 hours

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total time, add the times for each set of 6 miles: 1 + 1.2 + 1.5 + 1.6 = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the 24-mile course. Choice A, 5 hours, is incorrect because the total time is slightly more than that. Choice C, 4 hours, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total time taken. Choice D, 6 hours, is incorrect as it's an overestimation of the actual time taken.

5. A car travels at 60 mph for 5 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 360 miles
• B. 240 miles
• C. 300 miles
• D. 360 miles

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed by the time: 60 mph × 5 hours = 300 miles. Choice A (360 miles) and Choice D (360 miles) are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the distance based on the given speed and time. Choice B (240 miles) is also incorrect as it underestimates the distance traveled.
