Change the following percentage to a decimal: 76.3%
- A. 0.0763
- B. 7
- C. 0.763
- D. 7.63
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. In this case, to convert 76.3% to a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left, resulting in 0.763. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.0763) is incorrect as it represents 7.63% as a decimal. Choice B (7) and Choice D (7.63) are not correct conversions of the given percentage to a decimal.
The formula for body mass index (BMI) is BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2. If a patient's BMI is 25 and their height is 1.7m, what is their weight?
- A. 34kg
- B. 45kg
- C. 56kg
- D. 68kg
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Given:
BMI = 25
Height = 1.7m
We can rearrange the formula for BMI to solve for weight:
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2
25 = weight / (1.7)^2
25 = weight / 2.89
Weight = 25 * 2.89
Weight = 72.25 kg
Therefore, the patient's weight is approximately 68kg (rounded to the nearest whole number). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the calculated weight of 68kg.
Your supervisor instructs you to purchase 240 pens and 6 staplers for the nurse's station. Pens are purchased in sets of 6 for $2.35 per pack. Staplers are sold in sets of 2 for $12.95 each. How much will purchasing these products cost?
- A. $162.00
- B. $132.00
- C. $225.00
- D. $145.00
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the total cost, first calculate the cost of pens and staplers separately. 240 pens require 40 packs (240 pens · 6 pens per pack = 40 packs). Each pack of pens costs $2.35, so 40 packs cost $94 (40 packs $2.35 per pack = $94). For the staplers, 6 staplers require 3 packs (6 staplers · 2 staplers per pack = 3 packs). Each pack of staplers costs $12.95, so 3 packs cost $38.85 (3 packs $12.95 per pack = $38.85). Adding the cost of pens and staplers together gives a total of $132.85, which rounds to $132.00. Therefore, the correct answer is $132.00. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider the individual prices of pens and staplers. Choice C is incorrect as it overestimates the total cost by combining the costs incorrectly. Choice D is incorrect as it underestimates the total cost by not considering both pens and staplers.
A newspaper kiosk sells 10 varieties of newspapers from around the world. The average daily sales for some of the varieties are as follows: English language newspapers sell 25 each day, French language newspapers sell 1 each day, Korean language newspapers sell 16 each day, Japanese language newspapers sell 16 each day, and Russian language newspapers sell 22 each day. How many newspapers are sold each day?
- A. 368 papers
- B. 370 papers
- C. 500 papers
- D. 400 papers
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the total number of newspapers sold each day, add the sales for each language: 25 (English) + 1 (French) + 16 (Korean) + 16 (Japanese) + 22 (Russian) = 80. Multiply this by the number of language varieties (10) to get the total number of newspapers sold: 80 x 10 = 800. Therefore, the kiosk sells 800 newspapers each day, not 368 as erroneously stated. The correct answer is 800 papers.
Fred's rule for computing an infant's dose of medication is: infant's dose = (Child's age in months x adult dose) / 150. If the adult dose of medication is 15 mg, how much should be given to a 2-year-old child?
- A. 2.4 mg
- B. 3
- C. 48 mg
- D. 1
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the dose for a 2-year-old child using Fred's rule, we substitute the child's age (24 months) and the adult dose (15 mg) into the formula: (24 x 15) / 150 = 2.4 mg. Therefore, the correct answer is A, representing 2.4 mg for a 2-year-old child. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the calculated dose. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the formula provided. Choice D is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.
