1. The physician orders 60 mg of Augmentin; 80 mg/mL is on hand. How many milliliters will you give?

A. 1 ml
B. 0.5 ml
C. 0.75 ml
D. 1.25 ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume required, divide the prescribed dose (60 mg) by the concentration available (80 mg/mL): 60 mg ÷ 80 mg/mL = 0.75 mL. Therefore, 0.75 mL is the correct amount to administer. Choice A (1 ml) is incorrect as it does not consider the concentration of the solution. Choice B (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it is half the correct amount. Choice D (1.25 ml) is incorrect as it is more than the calculated correct amount.

2. How many pounds are in 160 ounces?

A. 10 pounds
B. 8 pounds
C. 5 pounds
D. 12 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.

3. Farmer Juan has 14 acres with an average yield of 17460 eggs per acre. The profit per egg is $1.65. What profit should Farmer Juan expect?

A. $403,326
B. $148,145.45
C. $244,440
D. $2,057.79

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate Farmer Juan's profit, multiply the number of acres (14) by the yield per acre (17460 eggs) and by the profit per egg ($1.65): 14 acres * 17460 eggs * $1.65 = $403,326. Therefore, Farmer Juan should expect a profit of $403,326. Choice A is correct as it accurately calculates the total profit based on the given information. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly compute the total profit from the provided data.

4. What is the probability of getting a 1 on a six-sided die?

A. 1/6
B. 1/4
C. 1/3
D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of getting a '1' on a six-sided die is 1 out of 6 possible outcomes, making it a 1/6 probability. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct probability of rolling a '1' on a standard six-sided die.

5. Convert 9/10 to a decimal.

A. 0.7
B. 0.8
C. 0.9
D. 1

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 9/10 to a decimal, divide 9 by 10: 9 ÷ 10 = 0.9. The correct answer is 0.9. Choice A (0.7) is incorrect as 7/10 is equal to 0.7. Choice B (0.8) is incorrect as 8/10 is equal to 0.8. Choice D (1) is incorrect as 10/10 would be equal to 1.
