If his distribution cost is $10, what will be his profit?
- A. $10.40
- B. $19.60
- C. $14.90
- D. $23.40
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate profit, we subtract the total distribution cost from the revenue. Given that the revenue is $30, the calculation is as follows: Profit = Revenue - Distribution Cost. Therefore, Profit = $30 - $10 = $20. Hence, the profit will be $19.60. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly adds the distribution cost to the revenue. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the distribution cost. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the profit by adding the distribution cost again to the correct profit amount.

How many pints are in 56 ounces?
- A. 3.5 pints
- B. 4 pints
- C. 3 pints
- D. 4.5 pints
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert ounces to pints, you need to know that 1 pint is equivalent to 16 ounces. Therefore, to find how many pints are in 56 ounces, you divide 56 by 16, which equals 3.5 pints. Hence, the correct answer is 3.5 pints. Choice B, 4 pints, is incorrect because it doesn't account for the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pint. Choice C, 3 pints, is incorrect as it is less than the actual conversion result. Choice D, 4.5 pints, is incorrect as it overestimates the number of pints in 56 ounces.
An IV bag contains 500ml of saline solution and needs to be infused over 4 hours. What is the flow rate in drops per minute, assuming 20 drops per milliliter?
- A. 12.5 drops/min
- B. 25 drops/min
- C. 50 drops/min
- D. 100 drops/min
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the flow rate in drops per minute, first, calculate the total volume in drops by multiplying the volume in milliliters by the number of drops per milliliter (500ml * 20 drops/ml = 10,000 drops). Then, divide this total number of drops by the infusion time in minutes (4 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 240 minutes) to get the flow rate. Therefore, the correct flow rate is 50 drops/min. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the flow rate. Choice B is incorrect as it also miscalculates the flow rate. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the flow rate.
A baseball team won 72 games. This was 90% of the games it played. How many games did it play?
- A. 75
- B. 80
- C. 85
- D. 100
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Let the total number of games be x. If the team won 72 games, which is 90% of the total games played, we can set up the equation: 72 = 0.90 * x. To find x, divide 72 by 0.90: x = 72 / 0.90 = 80 games. Therefore, the baseball team played 80 games in total. Choice A, 75, is incorrect because it is less than 80. Choice C, 85, is incorrect as it is more than 80. Choice D, 100, is incorrect as it is significantly more than the calculated total of 80 games.
Subtract 2 & 5/8 - 7/8 and reduce.
- A. 1 & 5/8
- B. 1 & 6/8
- C. 1 & 3/4
- D. 1 & ¼
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To subtract 7/8 from 2 & 5/8, you need to borrow 1 whole from the 2, making it 1 whole and 13/8. Then, subtracting 7/8 from 13/8 results in 6/8, which simplifies to 3/4. Therefore, the answer is 1 & 3/4. Choice A (1 & 5/8) is incorrect as the correct answer is 1 & 3/4. Choice B (1 & 6/8) can be simplified to 1 & 3/4, which is the correct answer. Choice D (1 & ¼) is incorrect as the subtraction result is greater than 1, making the whole number part 1.
How many feet are in 2 miles?
- A. 5280 feet
- B. 15840 feet
- C. 10560 feet
- D. 10200 feet
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert miles to feet, multiply the number of miles by the conversion factor of feet per mile. Since there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, to find the number of feet in 2 miles, you multiply 2 by 5280, resulting in 10560 feet. Choice A, 5280 feet, is the conversion factor for 1 mile, not for 2 miles. Choices B and D are incorrect calculations that do not follow the conversion factor correctly.
