Question 1 of 5
Dr. Lee observed that 30% of all his patients developed an infection after taking a certain antibiotic. He further noticed that 5% of that 30% required hospitalization to recover from the infection. What percentage of Dr. Lee's patients were hospitalized after taking the antibiotic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the percentage of Dr. Lee's patients hospitalized, we need to find 5% of the 30% who developed an infection. 5% of 30% is 1.5%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1.50%. Choice B (5%) is incorrect because it represents the percentage of patients who developed an infection, not those hospitalized. Choice C (15%) is incorrect as it is the total percentage of patients who developed an infection, not just those hospitalized. Choice D (30%) is incorrect as it represents the initial percentage of patients who developed an infection, not those hospitalized.
Question 2 of 5
Jerry needs to load four pieces of equipment onto a factory elevator that has a weight limit of 800 pounds. Jerry weighs 200 pounds. What would be the average weight of each item so that the elevator's weight limit is not exceeded?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the average weight of each item, we first subtract Jerry's weight from the elevator's weight limit: 800 - 200 = 600 pounds. Then, we divide this by the number of items (4): 600 / 4 = 150 pounds. This means each item should weigh 150 pounds on average to not exceed the weight limit. Choice B (150 pounds) is correct. Choice A (128 pounds) is too light, which would allow the elevator's weight limit to be exceeded. Choice C (175 pounds) and choice D (180 pounds) are too heavy, which would also exceed the weight limit.
Question 3 of 5
Jonathan pays a $65 monthly flat rate for his cell phone. He is charged $0.12 per minute for each minute used in a roaming area. Which of the following expressions represents his monthly bill for x roaming minutes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate Jonathan's monthly bill for x roaming minutes, we need to add the flat rate of $65 to the charge per minute of $0.12 multiplied by the number of roaming minutes x. Therefore, the correct expression is 65 + 0.12x. Choice A (65 + 0.12x) is correct because it accurately represents the total bill by adding the flat rate and the variable charge for roaming minutes. Choices B (65x + 0.12), C (65.12x), and D (65 + 0.12x) are incorrect because they do not correctly combine the flat rate and the charge per minute for roaming. Choice B incorrectly multiplies the flat rate by the variable x, Choice C combines the flat rate and the charge incorrectly, and Choice D does not account for the flat rate in the correct way.
Question 4 of 5
Using the chart below, which equation describes the relationship between x and y?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: y = 3x. By examining the chart, we see that y values are three times the x values. This relationship is represented by y = 3x. Choice A (x = 3y) reverses the relationship, choice C (y = 1/3x) states that y values are one-third of x values, and choice D (x/y = 3) represents x divided by y being equal to 3, which is not consistent with the given data in the chart.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following algebraic equations correctly represents the sentence 'Four more than a number, x, is 2 less than 1/3 of another number, y'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: x + 4 = (1/3)y - 2. To break down the equation: 1. "Four more than a number, x" can be represented as x + 4. 2. "2 less than 1/3 of another number, y" can be represented as (1/3)y - 2. 3. Combining the two expressions gives x + 4 = (1/3)y - 2, which correctly represents the given sentence. Other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately capture the relationship between x and y as described in the sentence. Choice B incorrectly sets 4x equal to 2 minus 1/3 of y, while choices C and D have incorrect signs and placements of terms.
