1. Three friends are sharing a burger. One friend eats a quarter of the burger. The other two friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the burger did each of the other two friends receive?

• A. 6-Jan
• B. 4-Jan
• C. 4-Mar
• D. 8-Mar

Correct answer: D

Rationale: After one friend eats a quarter of the burger, 3/4 of the burger remains. Dividing this equally between the other two friends means each receives 3/8 of the whole burger. Therefore, the correct answer is 8-Mar. Choice A (6-Jan), Choice B (4-Jan), and Choice C (4-Mar) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the portion each of the other two friends receives after one friend consumes a quarter of the burger.

2. Veronica has to create the holiday schedule for the neonatal unit at her hospital. 35% of her staff will be unavailable during the holidays, and of the remaining staff, only 20% are certified to work in the neonatal unit. What percentage of the total staff is certified and available to work?

• A. 7%
• B. 13%
• C. 65%
• D. 80%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 13%. To find the percentage of the total staff that is certified and available to work, we first calculate the percentage of staff available, which is 100% - 35% = 65%. Then, we find the percentage of the available staff that is certified, which is 20% of 65% = 0.20 × 0.65 = 0.13, or 13%.

3. Mom's car drove 72 miles in 90 minutes. How fast did she drive in feet per second?

• A. 0.8 feet per second
• B. 48.9 feet per second
• C. 0.009 feet per second
• D. 70.4 feet per second

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert miles per hour to feet per second, you need to convert miles to feet and minutes to seconds. First, convert 72 miles to feet using the conversion factor 1 mile = 5280 feet: 72 miles * 5280 feet/mile = 380160 feet. Then, convert 90 minutes to seconds: 90 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 5400 seconds. Now, to find the speed in feet per second, divide the distance traveled in feet by the time in seconds: 380160 feet / 5400 seconds = 70.4 feet per second. Therefore, the correct answer is 70.4 feet per second. Choice A, 0.8 feet per second, is incorrect as it is a much lower speed. Choice C, 0.009 feet per second, is also incorrect as it is too low. Choice D, 70.4 feet per second, would be correct if the conversion calculations were accurate, but in this case, it's not the correct answer.

4. To begin making her soup, Jennifer added four containers of chicken broth with 1 liter of water into the pot. Each container of chicken broth contains 410 milliliters. How much liquid is in the pot?

• A. 1.64 liters
• B. 2.64 liters
• C. 5.44 liters
• D. 6.12 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Each container of chicken broth contains 410 milliliters. Jennifer added four containers, which totals 4 * 410 = 1640 milliliters of chicken broth. She then added 1 liter of water, equivalent to 1000 milliliters. Combining all the liquids, we get 1640 + 1000 = 2640 milliliters, which equals 2.64 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the total liquid volume. Choice C is incorrect as it greatly overestimates the liquid amount. Choice D is incorrect as it also overestimates the liquid content in the pot.

5. A car travels 60 miles in 1 hour. How long will it take to travel 180 miles at the same speed?

• A. 3 hours
• B. 4 hours
• C. 2.5 hours
• D. 5 hours

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the time needed to travel 180 miles at the same speed of 60 miles per hour, you divide the total distance by the speed. 180 miles ÷ 60 mph = 3 hours. Therefore, it will take 3 hours to travel 180 miles at the given speed. Choice B, 4 hours, is incorrect as it does not align with the calculation. Choice C, 2.5 hours, is incorrect as it underestimates the time needed for the distance. Choice D, 5 hours, is incorrect as it overestimates the time required based on the given speed.
