1. If a train travels at 80 kilometers per hour, how many kilometers will it travel in 3 hours?

• A. 240 kilometers
• B. 160 kilometers
• C. 240 kilometers
• D. 210 kilometers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance traveled, you need to multiply the speed of the train by the time it travels. So, 80 km/h * 3 hours = 240 kilometers. Therefore, the correct answer is 240 kilometers. Choice B (160 kilometers) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying the speed by 2 hours instead of 3. Choice C (240 kilometers) is the same as the correct answer, making it redundant. Choice D (210 kilometers) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying the speed by 2.5 hours instead of 3.

2. A man is reading a book with 798 pages. If he reads 2 chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages, how many days will it take him to finish the book?

• A. 133 days
• B. 399 days
• C. 66.5 days
• D. 75 days

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 ÷ 6 = 133 chapters. Reading 2 chapters per day means it will take 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days. Choice A, 133 days, is incorrect because it miscalculates the days needed to finish the book. Choice B, 399 days, is incorrect as it doesn't consider the number of chapters read per day. Choice D, 75 days, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total number of chapters in the book.

3. A patient's oxygen flow rate is set at 4 liters per minute. How many cubic centimeters of oxygen are delivered per minute?

• A. 400 cubic centimeters
• B. 4,000 cubic centimeters
• C. 40,000 cubic centimeters
• D. 400,000 cubic centimeters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 1 liter is equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters. Therefore, when the oxygen flow rate is 4 liters per minute, the calculation is 4 x 1,000 = 4,000 cubic centimeters. Hence, at a flow rate of 4 liters per minute, 4,000 cubic centimeters of oxygen are delivered per minute. Choice A, 400 cubic centimeters, is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion from liters to cubic centimeters. Choices C and D, 40,000 cubic centimeters and 400,000 cubic centimeters, respectively, are significantly higher than the correct answer due to incorrect conversions or additional errors in calculation.

4. What is the result of dividing 5 3/4 by 1/2?

• A. 11 & 1/2
• B. 2 & 3/8
• C. 3 & 1/8
• D. 18

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When dividing fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. To divide 5 3/4 by 1/2, you multiply 5 3/4 by 2/1 (reciprocal of 1/2) to get 23/4 * 2/1 = 46/4 = 11 1/2. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (2 & 3/8) is incorrect as it does not result from dividing 5 3/4 by 1/2. Choice C (3 & 1/8) is incorrect as well. Choice D (18) is not the correct result of the division performed.

5. How many millimeters are in 5 meters?

• A. 5000 mm
• B. 4000 mm
• C. 5500 mm
• D. 6000 mm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, 5 meters multiplied by 1000 equals 5000 millimeters. Choice A is correct as it represents the accurate conversion from meters to millimeters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not provide the correct conversion factor from meters to millimeters.
