1. Richard wants to make 2.5 batches of sugar cookies. One batch calls for 1.75 cups of sugar. How many cups of sugar will Richard need for 2.5 batches?

• A. 4
• B. 3
• C. 5 cups
• D. 3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate how much sugar Richard needs for 2.5 batches, multiply the amount of sugar needed for one batch (1.75 cups) by 2.5: 1.75 × 2.5 = 4.375  cups 1.75×2.5=4.375 cups Since the question is asking for the nearest whole number, 4.375 rounds to 4.

2. Convert 3/8 to a decimal.

• A. 0.25
• B. 0.25
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.375

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 3/8 to a decimal, divide 3 by 8: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375. The correct answer is 0.375. Choice A (0.25), Choice B (0.25), and Choice C (0.3) are incorrect because they do not represent the equivalent decimal value of 3/8.

3. What is 60% of 90?

• A. 54
• B. 58
• C. 60
• D. 65

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 60% of 90, you multiply 90 by 0.60 (which is the decimal form of 60%). So, 90 * 0.60 = 54. Therefore, 60% of 90 is 54. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding 60% of 90.

4. How many kilometers are there in 12 miles?

• A. 7.5 kilometers
• B. 13.2 kilometers
• C. 19.2 kilometers
• D. 22 kilometers

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to kilometers, you can use the conversion factor of 1 mile is equal to 1.609 kilometers. Therefore, to find the number of kilometers in 12 miles, you can multiply 12 miles by 1.609 to get 19.2 kilometers. The correct answer is 19.2 kilometers, making choice C the correct option. Choice A (7.5 kilometers) is incorrect because it represents half the correct conversion. Choice B (13.2 kilometers) is incorrect as it does not apply the correct conversion factor. Choice D (22 kilometers) is incorrect and represents an incorrect conversion calculation.

5. If 3 nurses can care for 15 patients, how many nurses are needed for 25 patients?

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine how many nurses are needed for 25 patients, set up a proportion: 3 nurses / 15 patients = x nurses / 25 patients. Cross multiply to solve for x: 3 * 25 = 15 * x. This simplifies to 75 = 15x. Divide both sides by 15 to find x = 5. Therefore, 5 nurses are needed for 25 patients. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation based on the given proportion.
