1. How many pounds are in 176 ounces?

• A. 15 pounds
• B. 10 pounds
• C. 12 pounds
• D. 11 pounds

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you divide the number of ounces by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 176 ounces ÷ 16 = 11 pounds. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choices B and C are also incorrect as they do not accurately convert the given ounces to pounds.

2. 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.

3. Sarah had 1 quart of milk. How many ounces of milk is that?

• A. 16 ounces
• B. 24 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 48 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 32 ounces. One quart is equivalent to 32 ounces. To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart equals 32 ounces. Therefore, 1 quart of milk is equal to 32 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately convert 1 quart to ounces.

4. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MDXVI?

• A. 1106
• B. 1116
• C. 1506
• D. 1516

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The Roman numeral MDXVI translates to 1516 in Arabic numerals. The Roman numeral 'M' represents 1000, 'D' represents 500, 'X' represents 10, and 'VI' represents 6, which adds up to 1516. Therefore, the correct answer is 1516. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the Roman numeral MDXVI.

5. Solve for x: 4x - 8 = 16.

• A. x = 7
• B. x = 7
• C. x = 4
• D. x = 6

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To solve the equation 4x - 8 = 16, first, add 8 to both sides to isolate 4x: 4x = 24. Then, divide by 4 to solve for x: x = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A, x = 7, is incorrect as the correct solution is x = 6. Choices B and C are duplicates of choice A and are also incorrect.
