How many liters are in 300 milliliters?
- A. 0.3 liters
- B. 3 liters
- C. 0.03 liters
- D. 3.3 liters

A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?
- A. 10cm
- B. 13cm
- C. 40cm^2
- D. 64cm^2
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rationale:
To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length of the bandage is 8cm and the width is 5cm.
Area = length x width
Area = 8cm x 5cm
Area = 40cm^2
Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 40cm^2.

Subtract 14.5 - 7.25.
- A. 7.15
- B. 7.25

Choice A (7.15) is the result of incorrectly subtracting 14.5 - 7.25. Choice C repeats choice A, so it is also wrong. Choice D (7.5) is not the correct result of the subtraction provided in the question.
