1. The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?

• A. .75 tsp
• B. 1.5 tsp
• C. 1 tsp
• D. 1.25 tsp

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.

2. What is the result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6?

• A. 4 5/28
• B. 4 7/8
• C. 5 8/14
• D. 5 3/28

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions and then multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here, 4 7/8 = 39/8 and 1 1/6 = 7/6. Dividing 39/8 by 7/6 gives 39/8 ÷ 7/6 = 39/8 * 6/7 = 234/56 = 4 5/28. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6.

3. The plane is due to land at 6:20 P.M. What would that be in military time?

• A. 620
• B. 1820
• C. 6020
• D. 6200

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In military time, the afternoon and evening hours are represented by adding 12 to the standard time. Therefore, 6:20 P.M. would be equivalent to 18:20 in military time. To convert from P.M. to military time, simply add 12 hours to the given time. Choice A, '620,' is incorrect because it does not account for converting to military time. Choice C, '6020,' is incorrect as military time uses a 24-hour clock format, and the hour digit should not exceed 23. Choice D, '6200,' is incorrect as it does not follow the military time format where the hour part ranges from 00 to 23.

4. Olivia currently earns $51,200 in her job. If her salary increases by 4% this year, what will her new salary be?

• A. $52,348
• B. $52,736
• C. $53,040
• D. $53,248

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find Olivia's new salary after a 4% increase, we calculate 4% of $51,200, which is 0.04 x $51,200 = $2,048. Adding this increase to Olivia's current salary gives us the new salary: $51,200 + $2,048 = $53,248. Therefore, Olivia's salary after the 4% increase will be $53,248. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for the new salary after a 4% increase.

5. Scientific notation is a way to represent very large or small numbers in a compact form. If a number is written as 4.82 x 10^3, what is the value of the number in standard form?

• A. 0.004 82
• B. 0.482
• C. 4820
• D. 4820000

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: When a number is written in scientific notation as \(a \times 10^n\), the value of the number in standard form is obtained by multiplying \(a\) by \(10^n\). In this case, the number is \(4.82 \times 10^3\). To convert this to standard form, we multiply 4.82 by \(10^3\), which means moving the decimal point 3 places to the right. \(4.82 \times 10^3 = 4820\) Therefore, the value of the number in standard form is 4820, which corresponds to option C.
