1. If a dice is rolled, what is the probability of getting an even number?

• A. 16%
• B. 33%
• C. 66%
• D. 50%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When rolling a standard six-sided die, there are three even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The probability of rolling an even number can be calculated as the number of favorable outcomes (3) divided by the total number of outcomes (6), which equals 3/6 = 50%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because it does not represent the probability of rolling an even number. Choice B (33%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct probability. Choice C (66%) is incorrect as well since it overestimates the probability.

2. The height of a building is 150 feet. If each floor of the building is 12 feet high, how many floors are in the building?

• A. 13 floors
• B. 15 floors
• C. 10 floors
• D. 18 floors

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the number of floors in the building, divide the total height of the building (150 feet) by the height of each floor (12 feet). 150 feet ÷ 12 feet per floor = 12.5 floors. Since floors cannot be in fractions, the answer is rounded down to the nearest whole number, which is 13 floors. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 13 floors. Choice B (15 floors) is incorrect because the calculation results in 12.5 floors, which should be rounded down. Choices C (10 floors) and D (18 floors) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division result and rounding down process.

3. How many grams are in 4 kilograms?

• A. 4000
• B. 40
• C. 500
• D. 0

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The metric system is based on powers of 10. Since 1 kilogram equals 1000 grams, to convert 4 kilograms to grams, you multiply 4 by 1000. Therefore, 4 kilograms is equal to 4000 grams. Choice B (40) is incorrect because it represents grams in 4 decagrams, not kilograms. Choice C (500) is incorrect as it is the result of 4 hectograms, not kilograms. Choice D (0) is incorrect as it implies there are no grams in 4 kilograms, which is false.

4. 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?

• A. $443.50
• B. $450.00
• C. $500.00
• D. $430.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the nurse's take-home pay, first determine the weekly gross income. The nurse works 3 shifts x 8 hours = 24 hours at $17.81 per hour plus 1 shift x 12 hours = 12 hours at $17.81 per hour, totaling 36 hours. Therefore, the gross income is 36 hours x $17.81 = $641.16. Next, subtract the weekly deductions: federal tax $102.80 + state tax $24.58 + federal insurance $18.13 + family health insurance $52.15 = $197.66. Deducting $197.66 from the gross income gives $641.16 - $197.66 = $443.50 as the nurse's take-home pay each week. Therefore, the correct answer is $443.50. Choice B ($450.00) is incorrect because it does not consider the specific deductions provided. Choices C ($500.00) and D ($430.00) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.

5. What is 20% of 2?

• A. 0.4
• B. 0.2
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 20% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.20. In this case, 0.20 * 2 = 0.4. Therefore, 0.4 is 20% of 2. Choice A (0.4) is correct. Choice B (0.2) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 2, not 20%. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it is not the result of calculating 20% of 2. Choice D (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 5% of 2, not 20%.
