1. How many milligrams are in 7 grams?

• A. 7000 mg
• B. 7 mg
• C. 700 mg
• D. 70 mg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. So, 1,000 x 7 grams = 7,000 mg. This means that there are 7,000 milligrams in 7 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams.

2. A patient's temperature is measured as 38.5 degrees Celsius. What is their temperature in Fahrenheit?

• A. 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit
• B. 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit
• C. 103.1 degrees Fahrenheit
• D. 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Given that the patient's temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius: °F = (38.5 × 9/5) + 32. °F = (69.3) + 32. °F = 101.3. Therefore, the patient's temperature in Fahrenheit is 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit (rounded to one decimal place). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit based on the provided formula.

3. What is the average of the numbers 14, 73, and 7?

• A. 28.57
• B. 30.57
• C. 29.56
• D. 31.33

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Adding 14 + 73 + 7 gives a total of 94. To find the average, we divide the sum by the number of values (3), which equals 31.33. Rounding this average to two decimal places gives us 31.33, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the average of the given numbers. Choice A is close to the sum of the numbers, not the average. Choices B and C are also not correct averages calculated from the provided numbers.

4. A group of 8 friends went out to eat at a restaurant. They decided to split the bill evenly. If the bill totaled $120, how much did each friend pay?

• A. $15
• B. $10
• C. $12
• D. $20

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much each friend paid, divide the total bill amount by the number of friends. In this scenario, $120 ÷ 8 friends = $15. Therefore, each friend paid $15. Choice B ($10) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $10. Choice C ($12) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $12. Choice D ($20) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $20.

5. A medication must be taken twice daily, 12 hours apart. If the first dose is at 8:00 AM, what is the most convenient time for the second dose to avoid disrupting sleep?

• A. 4:00 PM
• B. 6:00 PM
• C. 8:00 PM
• D. 10:00 PM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To take the medication 12 hours apart from the first dose at 8:00 AM, the second dose should be taken at 8:00 PM. However, to avoid disrupting sleep, it is recommended to take the second dose a bit earlier. Taking the second dose at 6:00 PM ensures that the medication is still being taken 12 hours apart while allowing for a buffer before bedtime to avoid any potential disruptions to sleep. Choice A (4:00 PM) is too early, not maintaining the 12-hour interval. Choice C (8:00 PM) aligns with the 12-hour interval but might be too close to bedtime, potentially causing sleep disruptions. Choice D (10:00 PM) is too late and exceeds the 12-hour interval.
