Question 1 of 5

A patient's height is 1.65 meters and their weight is 75kg. Calculate their BMI and interpret the result.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate BMI, divide weight (75kg) by height squared (1.65m^2) to get BMI (27.7). A BMI of 27.7 falls within the 'overweight' category (25-29.9 BMI). Choice A is incorrect as a BMI of 23.1 would be in the 'normal' range (18.5-24.9 BMI). Choice B is incorrect as 25.3 falls within the 'overweight' category. Choice D is incorrect as 32.8 is in the 'obese' category (>30 BMI). Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Question 2 of 5

Change the decimal to a percent: 0.64 =

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply by 100. In this case, 0.64 100 = 64%. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.64%) is incorrect as it represents the original decimal value in percentage form. Choice B (6.4%) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies the decimal value by 10 instead of 100. Choice D (0.064%) is incorrect as it represents the decimal value as a fraction of 1000 instead of 100.

Question 3 of 5

After spending $75.64 at one store and $22.43 at the next store, how much money does the shopper have left if they started with $100.00?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much money the shopper has left, add the amounts spent: $75.64 + $22.43 = $98.07. Then, subtract the total spent from the starting amount: $100.00 - $98.07 = $1.93 left. Therefore, choice A, $1.93, is the correct answer. Choice B, $5.00, is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C, $0.72, is incorrect as it does not consider the total amount spent. Choice D, $20.13, is incorrect because it does not reflect the remaining amount after the expenses.

Question 4 of 5

Round to the nearest whole number: 4748 � 12 =

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the answer, divide 4748 by 12: 4748 � 12 = 395.666... Since we are rounding to the nearest whole number, we round up to 396 because the decimal part (.666) is greater than .5. Choice A (372) is too low as it does not account for the decimal value. Choice B (384) is also too low. Choice D (412) is too high as it goes beyond the correct rounded value.

Question 5 of 5

Convert the percentage to a decimal: 38%

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage by 100. Therefore, 38% as a decimal is 0.38 (38 � 100 = 0.38). Choice A, 3.8, is incorrect as it is equivalent to 380%. Choice C, 0.038, is incorrect as it represents 3.8%. Choice D, 38.0, is incorrect as it is still in percentage form.
