1. A marathon runner completes 21.6 miles and burns 2,274 calories. What is the rate of calories burned per mile?

• A. 105.28
• B. 105.37
• C. 105.45
• D. 105.55

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the rate of calories burned per mile, you divide the total calories burned by the total miles run: 2274 calories / 21.6 miles = 105.28 calories per mile. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated value. The rate of calories burned per mile is a precise calculation based on the given values, and only choice A aligns with the correct calculation.

2. Three nurses worked 8-hour shifts. Nurse 1 monitored 6 patients during her shift. Nurse 2 monitored 8 patients, and Nurse 3 monitored 12 patients. How many patients were monitored in total?

• A. 26 patients
• B. 24 patients
• C. 20 patients
• D. 23 patients

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total number of patients monitored, add the patients monitored by each nurse: 6 (Nurse 1) + 8 (Nurse 2) + 12 (Nurse 3) = 26 patients. Therefore, the correct answer is 26 patients. Choice B (24 patients), Choice C (20 patients), and Choice D (23 patients) are incorrect as they do not correctly sum up the patients monitored by each nurse.

3. A syringe holds 3ml of liquid. How many syringes are needed to measure 15ml of liquid?

• A. 3
• B. 5
• C. 7
• D. 9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since each syringe holds 3ml of liquid, to measure 15ml of liquid, you would need to divide 15ml by 3ml/syringe. This calculation gives you 5 syringes needed to measure 15ml of liquid. Choice A (3 syringes) is incorrect because 3 syringes would only hold 9ml of liquid, not 15ml. Choice C (7 syringes) and Choice D (9 syringes) are incorrect as they would result in an excess amount of liquid, which is not needed.

4. If the regular price of a bar is $2.50, how much do you save per bar if you purchase a value pack of 8 bars for $20?

• A. 15¢
• B. 40¢
• C. 75¢
• D. $1.20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine how much you save per bar when buying a value pack of 8 bars for $20, calculate the individual price per bar by dividing the total price by the number of bars: $20 ÷ 8 = $2.50 per bar. When the pack price is lower than the individual price, you save money. The saving per bar is found by subtracting the pack price from the individual price: $2.50 (individual price) - $2.50 (pack price) = $0.40. Therefore, you save 40 cents per bar by purchasing the value pack. Choice A, 15¢, is incorrect because the actual saving is $0.40. Choice C, 75¢, is incorrect as it doesn't match the calculated saving. Choice D, $1.20, is incorrect as it is not the actual amount saved per bar.

5. What is the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5?

• A. 4.8
• B. 4.9
• C. 4.6
• D. 4.7

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct subtraction is 9.5 - 4.7 = 4.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.8. Choice B (4.9) is incorrect because 9.5 - 4.7 is not equal to 4.9. Choice C (4.6) is incorrect as it is not the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5. Choice D (4.7) is the number being subtracted and not the result of the subtraction.
