1. A farmer had about 150 bags of potatoes on his trailer. Each bag contained from 23 to 27 pounds of potatoes. What is the best estimate of the total number of pounds of potatoes on the farmer’s trailer?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To estimate the total number of pounds of potatoes on the farmer's trailer, we can use the average weight of a bag of potatoes. The average weight is calculated by adding the minimum and maximum weights of the bags and dividing by 2: (23 + 27) / 2 = 25 pounds. Next, multiply the average weight by the total number of bags: 25 pounds/bag * 150 bags = 3,750 pounds. Therefore, the best estimate of the total number of pounds of potatoes on the farmer's trailer is 3,750 pounds. Choice A (3,000 pounds) is too low as it underestimates the total weight. Choice C (4,100 pounds) and Choice D (5,000 pounds) are too high as they overestimate the total weight.

2. Four more than a number is 2 less than 5\6 of another number. Which equation represents this?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The equation that represents the relationship is x + 4 = 5\6y - 2.

3. John’s Gym charges its members according to the equation y = 40x, where x is the number of months and y represents the total cost to each customer after x months. Ralph’s Recreation Room charges its members according to the equation y = 45x. What relationship can be determined about the monthly cost to the members of each company?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The equation y = 40x represents John's Gym charging $40 per month, while the equation y = 45x represents Ralph's Recreation Room charging $45 per month. Since $40 is less than $45, it can be concluded that John's Gym offers a lower monthly membership fee compared to Ralph's Recreation Room. Therefore, the correct answer is that John’s monthly membership fee is less than Ralph’s monthly membership fee. Choices A and B are incorrect because John's fee is not equal to or greater than Ralph's fee. Choice D is incorrect as there is a clear relationship indicating that John’s monthly membership fee is less than Ralph’s monthly membership fee.

4. Dr. Lee observed that 30% of all his patients developed an infection after taking a certain antibiotic. He further noticed that 5% of those 30% required hospitalization to recover from the infection. What percentage of Dr. Lee's patients were hospitalized after taking the antibiotic?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Out of all the patients who took the antibiotic, 30% developed an infection. Among those with infections, 5% required hospitalization. To find the percentage of all patients hospitalized, we multiply the two percentages: 30% * 5% = 1.5%. Therefore, 1.5% of all patients were hospitalized. Choice A (1.50%) is the calculated percentage of all patients hospitalized, not 1.50%. Choice B (5%) is the percentage of patients who developed an infection and required hospitalization, not all patients. Choice D (30%) represents the initial percentage of patients who developed an infection, not the percentage hospitalized.

5. University X requires some of its nursing students to take an exam before being admitted into the nursing program. In this year's class, half of the nursing students were required to take the exam, and three-fifths of those who took the exam passed. If this year's class has 200 students, how many students passed the exam?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If the incoming class has 200 students, then half of those students were required to take the exam. (200)(1/2) = 100. So 100 students took the exam, but only three-fifths of that 100 passed the exam. (100)(3/5) = 60. Therefore, 60 students passed the exam. The correct answer is 60. Choice A is incorrect as it miscalculates the number of students who passed the exam. Choice B is incorrect as it does not consider the passing rate of the exam. Choice D is incorrect as it is much lower than the correct answer.
