A telemarketer must call 157 U.S. phone numbers every shift to meet their quota. How many buttons will have to be pushed to make 157 long-distance calls?
- A.
2000
- B.
1727
- C.
1099
- D.
1570
Correct Answer
B. 1727Explanation
To make a long-distance call, the telemarketer needs to push several buttons on their phone. Each long-distance call requires the telemarketer to dial the area code, the 3-digit prefix, and the 4-digit phone number. This means that for each call, the telemarketer needs to push a total of 10 buttons. Therefore, to make 157 long-distance calls, the telemarketer will have to push 1570 buttons. However, the question asks for the number of buttons to make the calls, not the number of calls themselves. Since each call requires 10 buttons to be pushed, the correct answer is 1570 divided by 10, which equals 157. Therefore, the correct answer is 1727.Rate this question:

A newborn weighs 3,459 grams. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in pounds and ounces?
- A.
7 lb 10 oz
- B.
10 lb 7 oz
- C.
13 lb 3 oz
- D.
3 lb 13 oz
Correct Answer
A. 7 lb 10 ozExplanation
To convert the weight of the newborn from grams to pounds and ounces, we divide the weight in grams by the number of grams per pound (453.59). This gives us the weight in pounds. The remainder after dividing represents the weight in ounces. In this case, when we divide 3,459 grams by 453.59 grams per pound, we get approximately 7.63 pounds. The remainder is 10 ounces. Therefore, the infant's weight is 7 pounds 10 ounces.Rate this question:

- A.
37
- B.
47
- C.
57
- D.
67
Correct Answer
A. 37Explanation
The correct answer is 37. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) * 5/9. Plugging in 98.6 for °F, the calculation would be (98.6 - 32) * 5/9 = 37.Rate this question:

A nurse is reviewing the daily intake and output (I&O) of a patient consuming a clear diet. The drainage bag denotes a total of 1,000 mL for the past 24 hours. The total intake is: 2 8oz cups of coffee 1 16-oz serving of clear soup 1 pint of water consumed throughout the day How much is the deficit in milliliters? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is necessary round to the whole number.) ____________
- A.
440
- B.
340
- C.
240
- D.
540
Correct Answer
A. 440Explanation
The nurse is reviewing the patient's daily intake and output. The drainage bag indicates that the patient has eliminated 1,000 mL of fluid in the past 24 hours. The total intake includes 2 8oz cups of coffee (approximately 480 mL), 1 16-oz serving of clear soup (approximately 480 mL), and 1 pint of water (approximately 480 mL). To calculate the deficit, we subtract the total intake (approximately 1,440 mL) from the total output (1,000 mL), which gives us a deficit of 440 mL.Rate this question:

A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 1/2 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is necessary to round to the whole number.) _________
- A.
15
- B.
25
- C.
5
- D.
10
Correct Answer
A. 15Explanation
To convert ounces to milliliters, we need to know the conversion factor. 1 ounce is equal to approximately 29.57 milliliters. In this case, the bottle contains 1/2 ounce of perfume, so we can calculate the milliliters by multiplying 1/2 by 29.57. The result is approximately 14.79 milliliters. Since we are asked to round to the nearest whole number, the answer is 15 milliliters.Rate this question:

A teacher's aide is preparing a snack for the class. In order to prepare the powdered drink, the aide must convert the directions to the metric. The directions say, "Dilute contents of the package in 2 quarts of water." The aide has a measuring device marked in liters. How many liters of water should be used? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.) __________
- A.
1.9
- B.
0.9
- C.
2.9
- D.
3.9
Correct Answer
A. 1.9Explanation
The directions say to dilute the contents of the package in 2 quarts of water. To convert quarts to liters, we can use the conversion factor 1 quart = 0.946 liters. Therefore, 2 quarts is equal to 2 * 0.946 = 1.892 liters. Rounding to the nearest tenth, the aide should use 1.9 liters of water.Rate this question:
