1. How many kilometers are there in 12 miles?

• A. 7.5 kilometers
• B. 13.2 kilometers
• C. 19.2 kilometers
• D. 22 kilometers

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to kilometers, you can use the conversion factor of 1 mile is equal to 1.609 kilometers. Therefore, to find the number of kilometers in 12 miles, you can multiply 12 miles by 1.609 to get 19.2 kilometers. The correct answer is 19.2 kilometers, making choice C the correct option. Choice A (7.5 kilometers) is incorrect because it represents half the correct conversion. Choice B (13.2 kilometers) is incorrect as it does not apply the correct conversion factor. Choice D (22 kilometers) is incorrect and represents an incorrect conversion calculation.

2. How many inches are in 1.5 yards?

• A. 54 inches
• B. 60 inches
• C. 72 inches
• D. 84 inches

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, you multiply the number of yards by 36 (since there are 36 inches in a yard). So, 1.5 yards × 36 inches/yard = 54 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert yards to inches.

3. 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.

4. If the ratio and proportion 15:2000=x:200, what is the value of x?

• A. 7
• B. 0
• C. 7,777
• D. 1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the value of x in the given ratio and proportion, we can set up the equation as 15:2000=x:200. Cross multiply to get x * 2000 = 15 * 200. Simplifying this gives x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which is 1. Choice A (7), Choice B (0), and Choice C (7,777) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation of x.

5. How many kilometers is equivalent to 200 meters?

• A. 50 kilometers
• B. 20 kilometers
• C. 12 kilometers
• D. 0.2 kilometers

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1000, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 200 meters is equivalent to 200 / 1000 = 0.2 kilometers. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to kilometers. A provides an answer that would be correct if converting from kilometers to meters. B and C are much larger distances than what 200 meters represent.
