1. What is the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120?

• A. 10
• B. 9.892
• C. 10.122
• D. 9.012

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120, you need to subtract the two numbers: 0.120 - 10.012 = -9.892. The correct answer is B, 9.892. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction operation and result.

2. How many meters are in 3 kilometers?

• A. 3000 meters
• B. 2000 meters
• C. 3500 meters
• D. 2500 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 3000 meters. To convert kilometers to meters, you need to know that there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, to find the number of meters in 3 kilometers, you multiply 3 by 1000, resulting in 3000 meters. Choice B, 2000 meters, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 3500 meters, and Choice D, 2500 meters, are also incorrect as they provide inaccurate conversions.

3. Convert 0.007 kilograms to grams.

• A. 7 grams
• B. 70 grams
• C. 0.07 grams
• D. 0.70 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 0.007 kilograms is equal to 0.007 x 1000 = 7 grams. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the right. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point two places to the right.

4. Express the ratio of 6:7 as a percentage.

• A. 67%
• B. 76%
• C. 86%
• D. 93%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To express the ratio 6:7 as a percentage, we first need to find the total parts in the ratio, which is 6 + 7 = 13. To convert this ratio to a percentage, divide the part you want to find the percentage for by the total parts, then multiply by 100. In this case, to find the percentage for 6 in the ratio 6:7, the calculation would be (6/13) * 100 = 46.15%. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 67%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect percentages as they do not result from the correct calculation for the given ratio.

5. The physician ordered 16 mg of Ibuprofen per kg of body weight; on hand are 80 mg tablets. The child weighs 15 kg. How many tablets will you give?

• A. 3 tablets
• B. 2 tablets
• C. 1 tablet
• D. 2.5 tablets

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the total dose required for the child, multiply the child's weight (15 kg) by the prescribed dose per kg (16 mg/kg): 15 kg * 16 mg/kg = 240 mg. Next, determine how many tablets are needed to reach this total dose: 240 mg / 80 mg per tablet = 3 tablets. However, since you cannot give a fraction of a tablet, the correct answer is 2 tablets. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of tablets needed. Choice C is incorrect because only 1 tablet is not sufficient to reach the required dose. Choice D is incorrect because you cannot give a partial tablet, so it has to be rounded down to the nearest whole tablet.
