Correct Answer
A. 700Explanation
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:

Thirty-five percent of what number is equal to 14?
-
4
-
40
-
400
-
49
Correct Answer
A. 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:

Correct Answer
A. 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:

-
26.46
-
2.646
-
0.2646
-
0.02646
Correct Answer
A. 0.2646Explanation
When multiplying decimal numbers, we multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers, and then count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers. In this case, multiplying 0.63 and 0.42 gives us 0.2646. Since both numbers have two decimal places, the product also has two decimal places.

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?
-
2,400
-
22,000
-
6,000
-
24,000
Correct Answer
A. 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:

How much water must be added to 1 liter of a 5% saline solution to get a 2% saline solution?
-
1 liter
-
1.5 liter
-
2 liters
-
2.5 liters
Correct Answer
A. 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?
-
30%
-
40%
-
50%
-
60%
Correct Answer
A. 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:

Body mass index (BMI) is equal to weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. A man who weighs 64.8 kg has a BMI of 20. How tall is he?
-
0.9 m
-
3.6 m
-
1.8 m
-
2.16 m
Correct Answer
A. 1.8 mExplanation
The given question provides the formula for calculating BMI, which is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. The question states that a man weighs 64.8 kg and has a BMI of 20. To find his height, we can rearrange the formula and solve for height. Dividing the weight of 64.8 kg by the BMI of 20 gives us 3.24. Taking the square root of 3.24 gives us approximately 1.8. Therefore, the man is approximately 1.8 meters tall.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?
-
99 square feet
-
160 square feet
-
320 square feet
-
72 square feet
Correct Answer
A. 320 square feetExplanation
The combined area of the four walls can be calculated by finding the perimeter of the room and multiplying it by the height of the walls. The perimeter of the room is calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides, which in this case would be (9+11+9+11) = 40 feet. Multiplying the perimeter by the height of the walls (8 feet) gives us 40 * 8 = 320 square feet.Rate this question:
