1. What is 60% of 150?

• A. 80
• B. 90
• C. 120
• D. 80

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 60% of 150, you multiply 0.6 by 150, which equals 90. Therefore, the correct answer is 90. Choice A (80) is incorrect because it does not represent 60% of 150. Choice C (120) is incorrect as it exceeds 100% of 150. Choice D (80) is a duplicate of choice A and does not accurately represent 60% of 150.

2. A medication dosage is listed as 1/4 gram. What is the equivalent dosage in milligrams (1 gram = 1000 milligrams)?

• A. 125mg
• B. 250mg
• C. 375mg
• D. 500mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 1/4 gram is equivalent to 1/4 * 1000 milligrams (since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams). 1/4 * 1000 = 250 milligrams. Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milligrams is 250mg, which corresponds to option B. The other choices are incorrect because they do not correctly convert 1/4 gram to milligrams using the conversion factor of 1 gram = 1000 milligrams.

3. How many kilometers is equivalent to 200 meters?

• A. 50 kilometers
• B. 20 kilometers
• C. 12 kilometers
• D. 0.2 kilometers

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1000, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 200 meters is equivalent to 200 / 1000 = 0.2 kilometers. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to kilometers. A provides an answer that would be correct if converting from kilometers to meters. B and C are much larger distances than what 200 meters represent.

4. How many meters are in 3000 millimeters?

• A. 3 meters
• B. 30 meters
• C. 0.3 meters
• D. 300 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters. Therefore, to convert 3000 millimeters to meters, we divide by 1000. 3000 millimeters / 1000 = 3 meters. Choice A, '3 meters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '30 meters,' is incorrect because it represents a miscalculation of multiplying instead of dividing. Choice C, '0.3 meters,' is incorrect as it is the result of a decimal error. Choice D, '300 meters,' is incorrect as it is a result of not converting millimeters to meters correctly.

5. Karen goes to the grocery store with $40. She buys a carton of milk for $1.85, a loaf of bread for $3.20, and a bunch of bananas for $3.05. How much money does she have left?

• A. $30.95
• B. $31.90
• C. $32.10
• D. $34.95

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine how much money Karen has left, we first calculate the total cost of the items she bought: $1.85 + $3.20 + $3.05 = $8.10. Subtracting this total cost from the initial amount she had, $40 - $8.10 = $31.90 left. Choice A, $30.95, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct amount left after subtracting the total cost. Choice C, $32.10, is incorrect as it is the total cost of the items she bought, not the amount left. Choice D, $34.95, is incorrect as it does not consider the expenses incurred and subtracted from the initial amount.
