1. Express 4/5 as a percent.

• A. 20%
• B. 40%
• C. 50%
• D. 80%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a fraction to a percentage, you multiply the fraction by 100. To express 4/5 as a percent, you perform the calculation 4/5 * 100 = 80%. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 80%. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct conversion of 4/5 to a percentage.

2. What percentage of 40 is 8?

• A. 20%
• B. 15%
• C. 10%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the percentage of 8 in 40, divide 8 by 40 to get 0.2. Multiply this result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.2 × 100 = 10%. Therefore, 8 is 10% of 40, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect percentages calculated from incorrect divisions and multiplications.

3. Tamison bought 20 stamps for 29¢ each and 40 stamps for 42¢ each. If she gave the postal worker $25, how much change did she receive?

• A. $2.40
• B. $2.80
• C. $3.20
• D. $3.60

Correct answer: A

Rationale: First, calculate the total cost of the 20 stamps bought at 29¢ each: 20 stamps * 29¢ = $5.80. Next, calculate the total cost of the 40 stamps bought at 42¢ each: 40 stamps * 42¢ = $16.80. The total cost of all stamps is $5.80 + $16.80 = $22.60. If Tamison gave $25 to the postal worker, her change is $25 - $22.60 = $2.40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Option B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct change Tamison received after buying the stamps.

4. A car travels 60 miles per hour for 2.5 hours. How far does the car travel?

• A. 120 miles
• B. 150 miles
• C. 180 miles
• D. 170 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance traveled, multiply the speed of the car (60 miles per hour) by the time it traveled (2.5 hours): 60 miles/hour * 2.5 hours = 150 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total distance traveled by the car.

5. A medication order is written as 3/4 of a tablet. If each tablet is 500mg, what is the equivalent dosage in milligrams?

• A. 375mg
• B. 425mg
• C. 450mg
• D. 475mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Each tablet is 500mg. - The medication order is for 3/4 of a tablet. - To find the equivalent dosage in milligrams, we need to calculate 3/4 of 500mg. - 3/4 of 500mg = (3/4) * 500mg = 0.75 * 500mg = 375mg. - Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milligrams is 375mg.
