1. How many milliliters are in 3 liters?

• A. 300 milliliters
• B. 3000 milliliters
• C. 1500 milliliters
• D. 300 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 3000 milliliters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 3 liters = 3 × 1,000 = 3,000 milliliters. Choice A (300 milliliters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.3 liters, not 3 liters. Choice C (1500 milliliters) is incorrect as it is halfway between the correct answer and a common mistake of confusing liters with milliliters. Choice D (300 milliliters) is incorrect as it is the conversion of 0.3 liters, not 3 liters.

2. What is the product of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55?

• A. 2,468.64
• B. 2,500.00
• C. 2,450.45
• D. 2,470.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When multiplying decimal numbers like 44.44 and 55.55, align them properly and multiply each place accurately. To find the product of 44.44 and 55.55, you get 2,468.64. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 2,468.64. Choice B, 2,500.00, is incorrect as it is the result of rounding up. Choice C, 2,450.45, is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55. Choice D, 2,470.00, is incorrect as it is not the correct product of 44.44 and 55.55.

3. An IV bag contains 500ml of saline solution and needs to be infused over 4 hours. What is the flow rate in drops per minute, assuming 20 drops per milliliter?

• A. 12.5 drops/min
• B. 25 drops/min
• C. 50 drops/min
• D. 100 drops/min

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the flow rate in drops per minute, first, calculate the total volume in drops by multiplying the volume in milliliters by the number of drops per milliliter (500ml * 20 drops/ml = 10,000 drops). Then, divide this total number of drops by the infusion time in minutes (4 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 240 minutes) to get the flow rate. Therefore, the correct flow rate is 50 drops/min. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the flow rate. Choice B is incorrect as it also miscalculates the flow rate. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the flow rate.

4. A child's toy block is a cube with side lengths of 5cm. What is its total surface area?

• A. 25 sq cm
• B. 50 sq cm
• C. 125 sq cm
• D. 150 sq cm

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The surface area of a cube is calculated using the formula: 6 * (side length)^2. Substituting the side length of 5cm into the formula, we get: 6 * (5cm)^2 = 6 * 25cm^2 = 150 sq cm. Therefore, the total surface area of the toy block is 150 sq cm. Choices A (25 sq cm), B (50 sq cm), and C (125 sq cm) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total surface area of the cube.

5. If Randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice, and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, on average, how many does Randy sell each month?

• A. 4,600
• B. 5,520
• C. 6,400
• D. 8,320

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, Randy sells 8 times that amount, which is 690 x 8 = 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year. To find out how many Randy sells each month, you divide 5,520 by 12 (months), which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Therefore, Randy sells 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year divided by 12 months, which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the information provided.
