What is 0.716 rounded to the nearest tenth?
- A.
0.72
- B.
0.8
- C.
1.0
- D.
0.7
Correct Answer
D. 0.7Explanation
0.716 rounded to the nearest tenth would be 0.7. When rounding to the nearest tenth, we look at the digit in the hundredth place, which is 1 in this case. Since 1 is less than 5, we round down and keep the digit in the tenths place the same, which is 7. Therefore, the rounded value is 0.7.Rate this question:

Thirty-five percent of what number is equal to 14?
- A.
4
- B.
40
- C.
400
- D.
49
Correct Answer
B. 40Explanation
To find the number, we can set up the equation: 35% of x = 14. To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 35% (or 0.35). This cancels out the percentage, leaving us with x = 14 / 0.35. Simplifying this expression gives us x = 40. Therefore, the number that is 35% of 40 is equal to 14.Rate this question:

In the cardiac ward, there are seven nursing assistants. NA Basil has eight patients; NA Hobbes has five patients; NA McGuire has nine patients; NA Hicks has ten patients; NA Garcia has ten patients; NA James has 14 patients; and NA Davis has seven patients. What is the average number of patients per nursing assistant?
- A.
7
- B.
9
- C.
8
- D.
10
Correct Answer
B. 9Explanation
The average number of patients per nursing assistant can be calculated by adding up the number of patients each nursing assistant has and then dividing it by the total number of nursing assistants. In this case, the sum of the number of patients for all nursing assistants is 8 + 5 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 14 + 7 = 63. Since there are 7 nursing assistants, the average number of patients per nursing assistant is 63 divided by 7, which equals 9. Therefore, the correct answer is 9.Rate this question:

Out of 100 shoppers polled, 80 said they buy fresh fruit every week. How many shoppers out of 30,000 could be expected to buy fresh fruit every week?
- A.
2,400
- B.
22,000
- C.
6,000
- D.
24,000
Correct Answer
D. 24,000Explanation
Based on the information provided, 80 out of 100 shoppers buy fresh fruit every week. To find out how many shoppers out of 30,000 could be expected to buy fresh fruit every week, we can use a proportion. We set up the proportion: 80/100 = x/30,000. Cross-multiplying, we get 100x = 80 * 30,000, which simplifies to 100x = 2,400,000. Dividing both sides by 100, we find that x = 24,000. Therefore, it can be expected that 24,000 shoppers out of 30,000 will buy fresh fruit every week.Rate this question:

All the rooms on the orthopedic ward are rectangular with 8-foot ceilings. One room is 9 feet wide by 11 feet long. What is the combined area of the four walls, including doors and windows?
- A.
99 square feet
- B.
160 square feet
- C.
320 square feet

The nurse has to lift four patients during his 8-hour shift. The weights of the patients are 152 pounds, 168 pounds, 182 pounds, and 201 pounds. To find the total weight the nurse has to lift, we add up the weights of all the patients: 152 + 168 + 182 + 201 = 703 pounds. Since the question asks for an approximate answer, we round the total weight to the nearest ten, which is 700 pounds. Therefore, the nurse will have to lift approximately 700 pounds during his shift.Rate this question:

How much water must be added to 1 liter of a 5% saline solution to get a 2% saline solution?
- A.
1 liter
- B.
1.5 liter
- C.
2 liters
- D.
2.5 liters
Correct Answer
B. 1.5 literExplanation
To get a 2% saline solution, the amount of salt in the solution needs to be diluted. Since the original solution is 5% saline, it is stronger than the desired 2% saline solution. Therefore, water needs to be added to dilute the salt concentration. To find the amount of water needed, we can set up a proportion: 5%/1L = 2%/x. Solving for x, we find that x = 2.5L. Therefore, 2.5 liters of water must be added to 1 liter of the 5% saline solution to get a 2% saline solution.Rate this question:

A certain water pollutant is unsafe at a level of 20 ppm (parts per million). A city’s water supply now contains 50 ppm of this pollutant. What percentage of improvement will make the water safe?
- A.
30%
- B.
40%
- C.
50%
- D.
60%
Correct Answer
D. 60%Explanation
To determine the percentage of improvement needed to make the water safe, we need to find the difference between the current pollutant level (50 ppm) and the unsafe level (20 ppm). The difference is 30 ppm. To calculate the percentage of improvement, we divide this difference by the unsafe level and multiply by 100. Therefore, (30 ppm / 20 ppm) * 100 = 150%. However, since we are looking for the percentage of improvement needed, we subtract 100% from this result. Hence, the percentage of improvement needed is 150% - 100% = 50%. Therefore, the correct answer is 60%.Rate this question:
