D. 15,000 mL
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 1 L = 1000 mL → 1.5 × 1000 = 1500 mL.
7. Simplify: 34÷25\frac{3}{4} ÷ \frac{2}{5}43÷52.
A. 620\frac{6}{20}206
B. 158\frac{15}{8}815
C. 64\frac{6}{4}46
D. 815\frac{8}{15}158
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Multiply by reciprocal:
34×52=158\frac{3}{4} × \frac{5}{2} = \frac{15}{8}43×25=815.
8. A patient must take 250 mg of medication twice daily. How many
milligrams are taken in 7 days?
A. 3,000 mg
B. 3,500 mg

D. 14,000 mg
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: 250 mg × 2 = 500 mg/day → 500 × 7 = 3500 mg?
Wait—check:
Twice daily = 250 mg each dose → 250 + 250 = 500 mg/day.
Correct total = 3,500 mg.
Correct option B.
, 9. Convert 98°F to Celsius using C=(F−32)×59.C = (F − 32) ×
\frac{5}{9}.C=(F−32)×95.
A. 32°C
B. 35°C
C. 37°C
D. 40°C

Rationale:
98 − 32 = 66
66 × 5/9 = 36.7 ≈ 37°C.
10. A doctor sees 42 patients in 6 hours. What is the average number of
patients per hour?
A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
