Question 1

A hospital has 4 different sized rooms containing a different number of beds as follows:
Single rooms: 125 rooms, 1 bed
Double rooms: 75 rooms, 2 beds
Large rooms: 115 rooms, 5 beds
X-Large rooms: 15 rooms, 25 beds
How many beds are in the hospital? (Enter numerical values only)

Answer 1

 1,225
This problem can be solved by calculating the number of beds in each size room, then adding each of those products together to find the total.
Step 1: Calculate the number of beds for each room size by multiplying the number of beds by the number of rooms.
Single rooms: 125 • 1 = 125
Double rooms: 75 • 2 = 150
Large rooms: 115 • 5 = 575
X-Large rooms: 15 • 25 = 375
Step 2: Calculate the total number of beds in the hospital by adding the products from step 1.
125 + 150 + 575 + 375 = 1,225

Question 2

11.89 + 0.072 =

A)12.61
B)11.962
C)11.0161
D)101.0892

Answer 2

11.962
Step 1: Set up long addition. Make sure to stack the decimals. We add a trailing 0 after the decimal in 11.89 as a placeholder.
Step 2: Calculate 0 + 2.
Step 3: Calculate 9 + 7. Since 16 is two digits, we carry the first digit (1) to the next column.
Step 4: Calculate 8 + 0. Now add the carry digit. 8 + 1 = 9.
Step 5: Calculate 1 + 0.
Step 6: Calculate 1 + 0.

Question 3

A nurse is mixing a solution of anti-allergy medication to give to a patient. The solution calls for 14.7 mg of aspirin and 38.33 mg of antihistamine.
If the patient takes 28.5 mg of the solution, how much is left over?

A)24.90 mg
B)24.53 mg
C)53.40mg
D)53.03 mg

Answer 3

24.53 Mg
We can solve this problem by first calculating the total amount of solution (14.7 + 38.33) and then subtracting the amount the patient took (28.5) from that total to find how much solution is left over.
Step 1: Calculate the total amount of solution.
Step 2: Subtract the amount the patient took (28.5) from the total (53.03) to get the amount left over:
