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. A patient is prescribed 500 mg of medication, but the available tablets are 250 mg each. How many tablets should be given?

• A. 3 tablets
• B. 2 tablets
• C. 4 tablets
• D. 5 tablets

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many tablets of 250 mg are needed to reach a total of 500 mg, you divide the total prescribed dosage by the dosage per tablet. In this case, 500 mg / 250 mg per tablet = 2 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 tablets. Choice A (3 tablets) is incorrect because it would exceed the prescribed dosage. Choices C (4 tablets) and D (5 tablets) are incorrect as they would also provide more medication than needed.

3. A worker's schedule is written in military time, and shows their shift is from 1500 to 0100. When will they get off work?

• A. A little bit after midnight
• B. 1:00 AM
• C. 3:00 AM
• D. 12:30 AM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.

4. A group of 8 friends went out to eat at a restaurant. They decided to split the bill evenly. If the bill totaled $120, how much did each friend pay?

• A. $15
• B. $10
• C. $12
• D. $20

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much each friend paid, divide the total bill amount by the number of friends. In this scenario, $120 ÷ 8 friends = $15. Therefore, each friend paid $15. Choice B ($10) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $10. Choice C ($12) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $12. Choice D ($20) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $20.

5. Solve the proportion (find the value of x): 9:14 = x:56.

• A. x = 14
• B. x = 25
• C. x = 36
• D. x = 42

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To solve the proportion 9:14 = x:56, you can cross multiply to get 9 * 56 = 14 * x. This simplifies to 504 = 14x. Dividing by 14 on both sides gives x = 36. Therefore, the value of x in the proportion is 36. Choice A, x = 14, is incorrect as it does not satisfy the proportion equation. Choice B, x = 25, is incorrect as it is not the value that makes the proportion true. Choice D, x = 42, is incorrect as it does not correctly satisfy the proportion equation.
