1. A woman wants to stack two small bookcases beneath a window that is 26 inches from the floor. The larger bookcase is 14 inches tall. The other bookcase is 8 inches tall. How tall will the two bookcases be when they are stacked together?
- A. 12 inches tall
- B. 22 inches tall
- C. 35 inches tall
- D. 41 inches tall
Correct answer: B
Rationale: When the woman stacks the two bookcases together, the total height will be the sum of the heights of the two bookcases. Therefore, 14 inches (larger bookcase) + 8 inches (smaller bookcase) = 22 inches. So, the stacked bookcases will be 22 inches tall. Choice A is incorrect because it does not account for the total height of both bookcases. Choice C and D are incorrect as they are higher than the combined height of the two bookcases.
2. How many feet are in 9 yards?
- A. 45 ft
- B. 18 ft
- C. 36 ft
- D. 27 ft
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you need to know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, to find out how many feet are in 9 yards, you multiply 9 by 3, which equals 27 feet. Choice A (45 ft) is incorrect as it miscalculates by multiplying 9 by 5 instead of 3. Choice B (18 ft) incorrectly multiplies 9 by 2. Choice C (36 ft) is incorrect as it doubles the answer of 18 feet, which is also an incorrect calculation.
3. 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?
- A. 1.50%
- B. 5%
- C. 15%
- D. 30%
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.
4. Identify the positioning of decimal places after the decimal point in this number: 0.08573
- A. 0 in the first decimal place
- B. 8 in the first decimal place
- C. 5 in the second decimal place
- D. 3 in the third decimal place
Correct answer: C
Rationale: In the number 0.08573, the digits are positioned after the decimal point as follows: 0.08573. The correct answer is '5 in the second decimal place' because 5 is the second digit after the decimal point. Choice A is incorrect as there is no '0' after the decimal point. Choice B is incorrect as '8' is the first digit after the decimal point. Choice D is incorrect as '3' is the fourth digit after the decimal point.
5. A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $58.60. They wish to leave a 16% gratuity. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?
- A. $8.48
- B. $6.40
- C. $9.38
- D. $7.00
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To calculate a 16% gratuity on a bill of $58.60, you multiply $58.60 by 0.16, which equals $9.376. Rounding this to the nearest cent gives $9.38. Therefore, the estimated gratuity is $9.38. Choice A is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the calculated amount. Choice B is also incorrect as it does not match the correct calculation. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the nearest estimated value to the calculated amount.
