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. Solve for y if y = 3: 4y + 21/y

• A. 19
• B. 7.7
• C. 23/3
• D. 11

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the expression 4y + 21/y when y = 3, substitute y = 3: 4 * 3 + 21 / 3 = 12 + 7 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 19. Choice A, '19,' is the correct result of the expression when y = 3. Choice B, '7.7,' is incorrect as the correct answer is an integer, not a decimal. Choice C, '23/3,' is incorrect as it is not the simplified integer result of the expression. Choice D, '11,' is incorrect as it does not result from the given expression when y = 3.

3. After taking several practice tests, Brian improved the results of his GRE test by 30%. Given that the first time he took the test Brian answered 150 questions correctly, how many questions did he answer correctly on the second test?

• A. 105
• B. 120
• C. 180
• D. 195

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If Brian answered 150 questions correctly on the first test, after improving his results by 30%, he would have answered (150 * 1.30) = 195 questions correctly on the second test. Therefore, the correct answer is 195, option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not account for the 30% improvement in the number of questions Brian answered correctly on the second test.

4. Convert to metric: 7 grams = x milligrams

• A. 700 mg
• B. 0.7 mg
• C. 7,000 mg
• D. 0.07

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 7 grams is equal to 7,000 milligrams. Choice A (700 mg) is incorrect because it represents grams to milligrams incorrectly. Choice B (0.7 mg) is incorrect as it converts grams to milligrams erroneously by decimal placement. Choice D (0.07) is incorrect as it converts grams to milligrams inaccurately by misplacing the decimal point.

5. How many milliliters are in 1 liter?

• A. 100 mL
• B. 1,000 mL
• C. 500 mL
• D. 50 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. The prefix 'milli-' means one-thousandth, so when converting from liters to milliliters, you multiply by 1,000. Therefore, the correct answer is 1,000 mL. Choice A (100 mL) is incorrect as it represents one-tenth of the correct conversion. Choice C (500 mL) is incorrect as it is half of the correct conversion. Choice D (50 mL) is incorrect as it is one-twentieth of the correct conversion.
