1. If he pays $270 per month in rent, how much money does he put into his house savings account each month?

• A. $90
• B. $270
• C. $730
• D. $810

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is $90. If he pays $270 per month in rent and saves a total of $360 per month, he puts $360 - $270 = $90 into his house savings account each month. Choice B ($270) is incorrect as this amount represents the rent paid, not the amount saved. Choices C ($730) and D ($810) are both significantly higher than the correct amount of $90, making them incorrect as they do not align with the given information in the question.

2. What are all the factors of 12?

• A. 12, 24, 36
• B. 1, 2, 4, 6, 12
• C. 12, 24, 36, 48
• D. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The factors of 12 are numbers that divide evenly into 12 without leaving a remainder. The correct factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Choice A (12, 24, 36) is incorrect as only 12 is a factor of 12. Choice B (1, 2, 4, 6, 12) includes all the correct factors of 12. Choice C (12, 24, 36, 48) is incorrect as 24, 36, and 48 are not factors of 12.

3. Which is larger, feet or meters? What is the correct conversion factor between feet and meters?

• A. Feet are larger; 1 foot is 0.3048 meters
• B. Meters are larger; 1 meter is 3.28 feet
• C. Feet are smaller; 1 foot is 0.5 meters
• D. Meters are smaller; 1 meter is 2 feet

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Feet are larger than meters. The conversion factor between feet and meters is 1 foot = 0.3048 meters. Choice B is incorrect as it states that meters are larger than feet, which is the opposite of the truth. Choice C is incorrect as it provides an incorrect conversion factor of 1 foot = 0.5 meters, which is inaccurate. Choice D is also incorrect as it suggests that meters are smaller than feet, which is not true.

4. How many ounces are in a pound?

• A. 8 ounces
• B. 16 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 12 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 16 ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound. This conversion is a common measure of weight in the imperial system. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion of ounces in a pound.

5. A set of patients is divided into groups: 1/2 in Group Alpha, 1/3 in Group Beta, and 1/6 in Group Gamma. Order the groups from smallest to largest.

• A. Alpha, Beta, Gamma
• B. Alpha, Gamma, Beta
• C. Gamma, Alpha, Beta
• D. Gamma, Beta, Alpha

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the order from smallest to largest groups, we look at the fractions representing the groups. Group Gamma has 1/6, which is the smallest fraction, followed by Group Alpha with 1/2, and Group Beta with 1/3 being the largest fraction. So, the correct order is Gamma, Alpha, Beta. Choice A is incorrect because it lists Alpha, Beta, Gamma, which is the reverse order. Choice B is incorrect as it lists Alpha, Gamma, Beta, which is also incorrect. Choice D is incorrect as it lists Gamma, Beta, Alpha, which is not the correct order based on the fractions provided.
