A doctor prescribes 150 milligrams of medication to be taken orally every 12 hours. How many grams should the patient take per dose?
- A. 0.015 grams
- B. 0.15 grams
- C. 1.5 grams
- D. 15 grams
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Convert milligrams to grams: 150 milligrams = 150/1000 = 0.15 grams. Therefore, the patient should take 0.15 grams per dose. Choice A (0.015 grams) is incorrect as the decimal point was misplaced, leading to a value that is too small. Choice C (1.5 grams) is incorrect as it represents 10 times the correct value. Choice D (15 grams) is incorrect as it represents 100 times the correct value. The correct conversion from milligrams to grams is 0.15 grams.
Change the following fraction into a ratio: 19/40
- A. 19:40
- B. 40:19
- C. 19:4
- D. 40:4
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To change a fraction into a ratio, you replace the fraction bar (/) with a colon (:). Therefore, 19/40 as a ratio is written as 19:40. Choice B (40:19) is incorrect as it reverses the order of the numbers. Choice C (19:4) is incorrect as it uses the denominator as the second number, which is not the correct way to represent a ratio. Choice D (40:4) is incorrect as it does not reflect the original fraction accurately.
A lampshade is shaped like a frustum of a cone, with base diameters of 20cm and 10cm and a height of 15cm. What is its volume?
- A. 625 cu cm
- B. 1250 cu cm
- C. 1875 cu cm
- D. 2500 cu cm
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the volume of the frustum of a cone, divide it into two cones and calculate their volumes separately. The formula for the volume of a cone frustum involves the radii of both bases and the height. The volume of the frustum cone can be calculated as V = 1/3 * π * h * (R^2 + r^2 + R * r), where R is the larger radius, r is the smaller radius, and h is the height. Substituting the values, V = 1/3 * π * 15 * (10^2 + 20*10 + 20^2) = 1875 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 1875 cu cm. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation of the frustum's volume.
A hospital nurse's schedule rotates every 4 days. The nurse works 3 days and has 1 day off. If the nurse's first day off is a Monday, what is the nurse's second day off?
- A. Friday
- B. Saturday
- C. Thursday
- D. Wednesday
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse's schedule repeats every 4 days, with 3 days of work and 1 day off. If the first day off is Monday, then after 4 days (Monday + 4 days), the second day off will fall on Friday. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (Saturday), C (Thursday), and D (Wednesday) are incorrect as they do not align with the 4-day rotation pattern after the first day off on Monday.
Solve for x. x/250 = 3/500
- A. 1.5
- B. 2
- C. 1500
- D. 25
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the proportion x/250 = 3/500, cross multiply to get 500x = 750. Then solve for x by dividing both sides by 500, which results in x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
Choice B (2) is incorrect because the correct solution is 1.5, not 2. Choice C (1500) is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation of the proportion. Choice D (25) is incorrect and does not match the correct solution obtained by solving the proportion.
