How many liters are in 8,000 milliliters?
- A. 0.8 liters
- B. 8 liters
- C. 0.8 liters
- D. 0.08 liters
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1,000. Therefore, 8,000 milliliters · 1,000 = 8 liters. This makes option B the correct answer. Option A, 0.8 liters, is incorrect as it is 1/10th of the correct answer. Option C, 0.8 liters (repeated), is also incorrect. Option D, 0.08 liters, is incorrect as it is 1/100th of the correct answer.

Solve for x: 120:x::40:0.5.
- A. 1.5
- B. 60
- C. 0.167
- D. 16
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the proportion 120:x::40:0.5, cross-multiply to get 120 * 0.5 = 40 * x. This simplifies to 60 = 40x. Dividing both sides by 40 gives x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (60) is incorrect because x is not equal to 60. Choice C (0.167) is incorrect as it does not result from solving the proportion. Choice D (16) is also incorrect because x is not equal to 16.
How many pounds are in 144 ounces?
- A. 12 pounds
- B. 10 pounds
- C. 8 pounds
- D. 9 pounds
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find out how many pounds are in 144 ounces, you divide 144 by 16, which equals 9 pounds. Choice A, 12 pounds, is incorrect because it does not correctly divide the number of ounces by the conversion factor. Choices B and C, 10 pounds and 8 pounds respectively, are also incorrect as they do not utilize the correct conversion factor to calculate the number of pounds in 144 ounces.
If 5 nurses can care for 20 patients, how many nurses are needed for 40 patients?
- A. 7
- B. 8
- C. 9
- D. 10
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: If 5 nurses can care for 20 patients, it means each nurse is responsible for 20/5 = 4 patients. To care for 40 patients, we divide the total patients by the number of patients each nurse can care for: 40/4 = 10 nurses. Therefore, 10 nurses are needed for 40 patients. Among the options, the closest number is 8 nurses, making it the correct answer. Choice A, 7 nurses, is insufficient. Choice C, 9 nurses, exceeds the required amount. Choice D, 10 nurses, matches the total number of nurses required, not the closest, making it incorrect.
How many liters are in 2,000 milliliters?
- A. 4 liters
- B. 1 liter
- C. 2 liters
- D. 4 liters
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 2 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 2,000 milliliters is equal to 2 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly doubles the conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it represents the amount in milliliters, not liters. Choice D is a duplicate of choice A, which is incorrect.
A train takes 1.5 hours at a constant speed of 65 mph to arrive at the destination. How many miles did the train travel?
- A. 97.5 miles
- B. 100 miles
- C. 98 miles
- D. 95 miles
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled, multiply the speed by the time taken: 65 mph 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (100 miles) is incorrect as it results from rounding up, which is not necessary. Choice C (98 miles) and Choice D (95 miles) are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given speed and time.
