1. How many milliliters are there in 3.2 liters?

• A. 0.32
• B. 32
• C. 3200
• D. 320

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 3.2 liters is equivalent to 3.2 x 1000 = 3200 milliliters. Choice A (0.32) is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choice B (32) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the conversion factor between liters and milliliters. Choice D (320) is incorrect as it is a partial conversion error, missing a zero at the end.

2. A woman’s dinner bill comes to $48.30. If she adds a 20% tip, which of the following will be her total bill?

• A. $9.66
• B. $38.64
• C. $48.30
• D. $57.96

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the total bill after adding a 20% tip, you need to find 120% of the original bill. This is because adding a 20% tip means paying 120% of the bill. So, $48.30 × 120/100 = $57.96. Therefore, the correct answer is $57.96. Choice A ($9.66) is incorrect as it represents only the 20% tip amount. Choice B ($38.64) is incorrect as it is the original bill amount without the tip. Choice C ($48.30) is incorrect as it is the original bill amount and does not include the additional 20% tip.

3. The second midwife allocates 1/2 of her funds to pay an office administrator, plus another 1/10 for office supplies. What is the total fraction of the second midwife's budget that is spent on the office administrator and office supplies?

• A. 3/5
• B. 2/12
• C. 2/20
• D. 1/20

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total fraction of the second midwife's budget spent on the office administrator and office supplies, add the fractions. The midwife allocates 1/2 of her funds to the office administrator (1/2) and another 1/10 for office supplies. Adding 1/2 and 1/10 gives a total of 3/5. Choice A (3/5) is correct. Choice B (2/12) is incorrect as it simplifies to 1/6, which is not the total fraction. Choice C (2/20) is incorrect as it simplifies to 1/10, which is only the fraction spent on office supplies, not the total. Choice D (1/20) is incorrect as it represents only the fraction spent on office supplies, not the total spent on both the administrator and supplies.

4. Which of the following is the most likely weight of a pencil?

• A. 25 kg
• B. 25 cm
• C. 25 mg
• D. 25 g

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 25 g. Pencils are usually lightweight, and their weight is measured in grams. 25 kg (choice A) is too heavy for a pencil. 25 cm (choice B) is a unit of length, not weight. 25 mg (choice C) is too light for a pencil, as pencils typically weigh more than milligrams.

5. Veronica has to create the holiday schedule for the neonatal unit at her hospital. 35% of her staff will be unavailable during the holidays, and of the remaining staff, only 20% are certified to work in the neonatal unit. What percentage of the total staff is certified and available to work?

• A. 7%
• B. 13%
• C. 65%
• D. 80%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 13%. To find the percentage of the total staff that is certified and available to work, we first calculate the percentage of staff available, which is 100% - 35% = 65%. Then, we find the percentage of the available staff that is certified, which is 20% of 65% = 0.20 × 0.65 = 0.13, or 13%.
