1. A clinic sees an average of 25 patients every 4 hours. If the clinic is open for 8 hours, how many patients will they see in total?

• A. 35
• B. 50
• C. 75
• D. 200

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. First, determine how many patients the clinic sees in one hour: 25 patients / 4 hours = 6.25 patients per hour (approximately 6 patients per hour) 2. Since the clinic is open for 8 hours, multiply the number of patients seen per hour by the number of hours the clinic is open: 6.25 patients/hour * 8 hours = 50 patients 3. Therefore, the clinic will see a total of 50 patients in 8 hours, which corresponds to answer choice D) 200.

2. There are 225 pieces of candy in a large jar. Ben wants to give the 25 campers in his group an equal amount of candy. How many pieces of candy will each camper receive?

• A. 9 pieces
• B. 7 pieces
• C. 8 pieces
• D. 6 pieces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how many pieces of candy each camper will receive, divide the total number of pieces of candy (225) by the number of campers (25): 225 ÷ 25 = 9 pieces per camper. Therefore, each camper will receive 9 pieces of candy to ensure they all get an equal amount. Choice B, 7 pieces, is incorrect because the total number of candy pieces divided equally among 25 campers results in 9 pieces per camper, not 7. Choice C, 8 pieces, and choice D, 6 pieces, are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division of 225 pieces of candy among 25 campers.

3. Jan canned 5 gallons of homemade tomatoes. She needs to purchase quart jars to finish the process. How many quart jars will she need to buy for her tomatoes?

• A. 10
• B. 15
• C. 20
• D. 25

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of quart jars needed, we first need to convert the gallons to quarts. Since 1 gallon equals 4 quarts, 5 gallons will be equal to 5 * 4 = 20 quarts. Therefore, Jan will need to buy 20 quart jars to store her canned tomatoes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert the gallons to quarts, leading to an incorrect quantity of jars required.

4. A patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. If they weigh 150 pounds, how many tablets should they take?

• A. 5
• B. 10
• C. 15
• D. 20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - The patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. - If the patient weighs 150 pounds, we can calculate the number of tablets needed by dividing the weight by 30 and then multiplying by 2. - 150 pounds / 30 pounds = 5 - 5 x 2 = 10 tablets - Therefore, the patient should take 10 tablets.

5. How many centimeters are in a foot?

• A. 30 cm
• B. 31.5 cm
• C. 30.48 cm
• D. 35 cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 30.48 cm. This conversion is based on the standard measurement where 1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeters. Choice A (30 cm) is incorrect as it is a rounded-down value and not precise. Choice B (31.5 cm) is incorrect as it is not the standard conversion for feet to centimeters. Choice D (35 cm) is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion for a foot to centimeters.
