Change 0.015 to a fraction.
- A. 3/200
- B. 3/2000
- C. 15/1000
- D. 3/100
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert 0.015 to a fraction, we can rewrite it as 15/1000. Simplifying this fraction, we get 3/200. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/2000) is incorrect as the decimal 0.015 is equivalent to 15/1000, not 15/2000. Choice C (15/1000) is the initial form of 0.015 as a fraction, but it can be further simplified to 3/200. Choice D (3/100) is incorrect as it does not represent the decimal 0.015.

Subtract 28 3/4 - 5 5/6.
- A. 22 & 11/12
- B. 23 & 1/2
- C. 34 & 1/12
- D. 22 & 2/3
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. Convert 28 3/4 to 28 9/12. Then, subtract 5 5/6 from 28 9/12 to get 22 11/12. Therefore, 28 3/4 - 5 5/6 = 22 & 11/12, which matches choice A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result after finding the common denominator and performing the subtraction.
Solve for y if y = 3: 4y + 21 / y.
- A. 7.7
- B. 19
- C. 23/3
- D. 11
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To solve for y, substitute y = 3 into the equation: 4(3) + 21 / 3 = 12 + 7 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 19. Choice A (7.7) is incorrect as it does not result from the substitution. Choice C (23/3) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (11) is incorrect, as it is not the result of the provided equation.
A diabetic patient's blood sugar is 180mg/dL. Their usual insulin dose is 1 unit per 40mg/dL above 100mg/dL. How much insulin should be administered?
- A. 2 units
- B. 3 units
- C. 4 units
- D. 5 units
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale:
1. Calculate the excess blood sugar above 100mg/dL: 180mg/dL - 100mg/dL = 80mg/dL.
2. Determine the insulin dose based on the patient's usual insulin dose: 80mg/dL / 40mg/dL = 2 units.
3. Add the calculated insulin dose to the patient's usual insulin dose: 1 unit (usual dose) + 2 units (calculated dose) = 3 units.
Therefore, the correct answer is 3 units of insulin should be administered to the diabetic patient with a blood sugar level of 180mg/dL.
How many grams are in 7 kilograms?
- A. 7000 grams
- B. 70 grams
- C. 700 grams
- D. 70,000 grams
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 7 kilograms is equal to 7 x 1,000 = 7,000 grams. The correct answer is 7000 grams. Choice B (70 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 7 kilograms to grams without considering the correct multiplier. Choice C (700 grams) is incorrect as it is a tenth of the correct conversion. Choice D (70,000 grams) is incorrect as it is ten times the correct conversion.
A teacher's aide must convert the directions from quarts to liters. The directions say to dilute the contents of a package in 3 quarts of water. How many liters should be used?
- A. 2.8 liters
- B. 3.5 liters
- C. 2.5 liters
- D. 4.0 liters
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert quarts to liters, you can multiply the number of quarts by 0.946353. In this case, 3 quarts is approximately 2.8 liters. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.8 liters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from quarts to liters.
