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.

Compare: 0.045 is _____ to 0.054.
- A. Greater than
- B. Less than
- C. Less than or equal to
- D. Equal
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. When comparing 0.045 and 0.054, 0.045 is less than 0.054. Therefore, the correct relation is 'Less than.' Choice A ('Greater than') is incorrect because 0.045 is not greater than 0.054. Choice C ('Less than or equal to') is incorrect because 0.045 is strictly less than 0.054, not less than or equal to. Choice D ('Equal') is incorrect because 0.045 and 0.054 are not equal.
What is 20% of 2?
- A. 0.4
- B. 0.2
- C. 0.3
- D. 0.1
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find 20% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.20. In this case, 0.20 * 2 = 0.4. Therefore, 0.4 is 20% of 2. Choice A (0.4) is correct. Choice B (0.2) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 2, not 20%. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it is not the result of calculating 20% of 2. Choice D (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 5% of 2, not 20%.
What is the value of x in the ratio and proportion 0.1:10=x:400?
- A. 5
- B. 4
- C. 50
- D. 25
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To solve the proportion 0.1:10=x:400, first, simplify the left side to 1:100. Then, set up the proportion as 1:100=x:400. Cross multiply to get x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (5) is incorrect because it does not match the calculated value of x. Choice C (50) is incorrect as it is not the result of solving the proportion provided. Choice D (25) is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation of x.
A physician wants to prescribe 5 mg of a medication to a patient. The medication comes in a 2-mg dose per 1-mL vial. How many milliliters of the medication should the patient receive?
- A. 2.5 mL
- B. 2 mL
- C. 3 mL
- D. 1 mL
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the amount of medication the patient should receive, divide the prescribed dose by the dose per mL in the vial. In this case, 5 mg · 2 mg/mL = 2.5 mL. Therefore, the patient should receive 2.5 mL of the medication. Choice B (2 mL) is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C (3 mL) is incorrect as it is higher than the actual amount calculated. Choice D (1 mL) is incorrect as it is lower than the actual amount calculated.
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.
