Change the following percentage to a decimal: 0.03%
- A. 0.03
- B. 0.0003
- C. 0.3
- D. 0.003
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. Therefore, 0.03% · 100 = 0.0003. The correct answer is B. Choice A (0.03) is incorrect because it does not account for the conversion of percentage to decimal. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it represents 0.03 as 30% rather than 0.03%. Choice D (0.003) is also incorrect as it does not accurately convert 0.03% to a decimal.

What is the result of adding 7/21 + 10/21?
- A. 17/21
- B. 15/21
- C. 9/21
- D. 10/21
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When adding fractions with the same denominator, you simply add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. In this case, 7/21 + 10/21 = 17/21. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (15/21) is incorrect because it adds the numerators incorrectly. Choice C (9/21) is incorrect as it does not reflect the sum of the fractions provided. Choice D (10/21) is also incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the two fractions.
You need 4/5 cups of water for a recipe. You accidentally put 1/3 cups into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. How much more water in cups do you need to add?
- A. 7/15 cups
- B. 2/3 cups
- C. 1/3 cups
- D. 1/15 cups
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find how much more water is needed, subtract 1/3 cup from 4/5 cup. First, find a common denominator:
The least common denominator between 5 and 3 is 15. Convert the fractions: 4/5 = 12/15, 1/3 = 5/15. Now, subtract: 12/15 - 5/15 = 7/15. Therefore, you need to add 7/15 cups of water. Choice B (2/3 cups) is incorrect because it does not represent the correct amount of additional water needed. Choice C (1/3 cups) is incorrect because this is the amount of water that was accidentally added. Choice D (1/15 cups) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation of the additional water required.

A hospital nurse's schedule rotates every 4 days. The nurse works 3 days and has 1 day off. If the nurse's first day off is a Monday, what is the nurse's second day off?
- A. Friday
- B. Saturday
- C. Thursday
- D. Wednesday
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse's schedule repeats every 4 days, with 3 days of work and 1 day off. If the first day off is Monday, then after 4 days (Monday + 4 days), the second day off will fall on Friday. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (Saturday), C (Thursday), and D (Wednesday) are incorrect as they do not align with the 4-day rotation pattern after the first day off on Monday.
