Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate 0.9 divided by 3, we divide 0.9 by 3, which equals 0.3. This is the correct answer (C) because dividing 0.9 by 3 results in 0.3. Option A (0) is incorrect as the division does not equal 0. Option B (3) is incorrect as the result is not equal to 3. Option D (9) is incorrect as the division does not equal 9. Therefore, the correct answer is C (0.3).

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To change 1/6 to a percent, first divide 1 by 6 to get 0.1667. Then, multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage, which equals 16.67%. Choice A is correct because it accurately represents the conversion. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation for converting 1/6 to a percentage.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: First, determine how many peach pies Erin has left after giving 3.75 to Rose: 6.25 - 3.75 = 2.5 peach pies. Since she can't have half a pie, it rounds down to 2. So, Erin has 2 peach pies left, making option A the correct answer. Option B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation of the remaining pies.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the number of tablets needed, we divide the patient's weight by 30 (150/30 = 5). Then, we multiply the result by 2 since they need 2 tablets per 30 pounds (5 x 2 = 10). Therefore, the correct answer is B (10 tablets). Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for the weight calculation. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not consider the dosage requirement based on the patient's weight.
