Question 2 of 5
A nurse working at a medical clinic earns $17.81 per hour. The nurse works three 8-hour shifts and one 12-hour shift every week and is paid weekly. Weekly deductions include federal tax $102.80, state tax $24.58, federal insurance $18.13, and family health insurance $52.15. What is the nurse's take-home pay each week?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the nurse's take-home pay, we need to first calculate the total earnings for the week: Total earnings = (Hourly rate x total hours) = ($17.81 x (3 x 8 + 1 x 12)) = $17.81 x 36 = $641.16. Then deduct the total deductions for the week: Total deductions = Federal tax + State tax + Federal insurance + Family health insurance = $102.80 + $24.58 + $18.13 + $52.15 = $197.66. Finally, calculate the nurse's take-home pay: Take-home pay = Total earnings - Total deductions = $641.16 - $197.66 = $443.50. Therefore, the correct answer is A: $443.50, as it accurately reflects the nurse's take-home pay after all deductions. Option B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculations based on the given information.
Question 3 of 5
A clinic sees an average of 25 patients every 4 hours. If the clinic is open for 8 hours, how many patients will they see in total?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the total number of patients seen in 8 hours, first calculate the number of patients seen in 1 hour (25/4 = 6.25). Then, multiply by 8 to get the total (6.25 * 8 = 50). Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation process. A, B, and C do not consider the rate of patients seen per hour or the total hours the clinic is open.
Question 4 of 5
How many ounces are in 3 pints?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert pints to ounces, we know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, 3 pints would be 3 x 16 = 48 ounces. This makes choice B the correct answer. Choice A (24 ounces) is incorrect as it represents only 1 pint, not 3. Choice C (32 ounces) and choice D (64 ounces) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the conversion of pints to ounces.
Question 5 of 5
Convert 5 3/4 to a decimal. Round to the nearest tenth.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert 5 3/4 to a decimal, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: 5 3/4 = (4*5 + 3)/4 = 23/4. Then, divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal: 23 ÷ 4 = 5.75. Rounding to the nearest tenth gives 5.8, which is choice C. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the decimal equivalent of 5 3/4 rounded to the nearest tenth.
