1. What is 72 inches converted to feet?
- A. 12 feet
- B. 6 feet
- C. 4 feet
- D. 17 feet
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert inches to feet, you divide the number of inches by 12 since there are 12 inches in a foot. Therefore, 72 inches divided by 12 equals 6 feet. The correct answer is 6 feet. Choice A, 12 feet, is incorrect as it is the result if we were converting 144 inches. Choice C, 4 feet, and Choice D, 17 feet, are incorrect conversions and do not correspond to the given measurement of 72 inches.
2. A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?
- A. 10cm
- B. 13cm
- C. 40cm^2
- D. 64cm^2
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length of the bandage is 8cm and the width is 5cm. Area = length x width Area = 8cm x 5cm Area = 40cm^2 Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 40cm^2.
3. How many feet are in 6 meters?
- A. 1.83 feet
- B. 18.48 feet
- C. 18.8 feet
- D. 19.68 feet
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To convert meters to feet, you can use the conversion factor: 1 meter = 3.28084 feet. Therefore, for 6 meters: 6 × 3.28084 = 19.684 feet. Rounding to two decimal places, the answer is 19.68 feet. Choice D, 19.68 feet, is the correct conversion. Choice A, 1.83 feet, is incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation. Choice B, 18.48 feet, is incorrect as it doesn't match the correct conversion. Choice C, 18.8 feet, is also incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion from 6 meters to feet.
4. An IV drip delivers medication at a rate of 40 drops per minute. Each drop contains 0.05 milliliters of the medication. How many milliliters of medication are delivered in one hour?
- A. 12 milliliters
- B. 24 milliliters
- C. 60 milliliters
- D. 120 milliliters
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the amount of medication delivered in one hour, we first calculate the amount delivered in one minute by multiplying the number of drops per minute (40) by the volume of each drop (0.05 milliliters). This gives us 2 milliliters per minute. Then, to find the total amount delivered in one hour, we multiply 2 milliliters per minute by the number of minutes in an hour (60), resulting in 120 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 120 milliliters. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total volume of medication delivered in one hour.
5. How many inches are in 3.5 yards?
- A. 126 inches
- B. 144 inches
- C. 132 inches
- D. 120 inches
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert yards to inches, we use the conversion factor that 1 yard is equal to 36 inches. Therefore, 3.5 yards is equal to 3.5 multiplied by 36, which equals 126 inches. The correct answer is 126 inches. Choices B (144 inches), C (132 inches), and D (120 inches) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from yards to inches using the conversion factor of 1 yard equals 36 inches.
