1. What is the result of dividing 152 by 2?

• A. 0.0116
• B. 0.116
• C. 76
• D. 11.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 152 by 2, you perform the division operation, which is 152 ÷ 2 = 76. The correct answer is 76. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 0.0116, is the result of dividing 1 by 152 instead of 152 by 2. Choice B, 0.116, is the result of dividing 1.52 by 2. Choice D, 11.6, is the result of multiplying 152 by 2.

2. 7 is divisible by which of the following numbers?

• A. 2 only
• B. 3 only
• C. 1 and 7 only
• D. 2, 3, and 7

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. 7 is divisible by 1 because every number is divisible by 1. 2. 7 is divisible by 7 because any number is divisible by itself. 3. 7 is not divisible by 2 because 7 is an odd number and not divisible by 2. 4. 7 is not divisible by 3 because the sum of the digits of 7 (7) is not divisible by 3. Therefore, 7 is divisible by 1, 7, and itself (7), making the correct answer D) 2, 3, and 7.

3. Compare: 0.045 is _____ to 0.054.

• A. Greater than
• B. Less than
• C. Less than or equal to
• D. Equal

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. When comparing 0.045 and 0.054, 0.045 is less than 0.054. Therefore, the correct relation is 'Less than.' Choice A ('Greater than') is incorrect because 0.045 is not greater than 0.054. Choice C ('Less than or equal to') is incorrect because 0.045 is strictly less than 0.054, not less than or equal to. Choice D ('Equal') is incorrect because 0.045 and 0.054 are not equal.

4. A researcher is collecting data on patient satisfaction. Out of 150 patients surveyed, 120 reported being satisfied with their care. What percentage of the patients were satisfied?

• A. 80%
• B. 75%
• C. 85%
• D. 90%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of satisfied patients, divide the number of satisfied patients by the total number of patients surveyed and multiply by 100. In this case, 120 (satisfied patients) ÷ 150 (total patients surveyed) x 100 = 80%. Therefore, 80% of the patients were satisfied. Choice B (75%), C (85%), and D (90%) are incorrect percentages as the actual percentage of satisfied patients is 80%.

5. Convert the fraction 7/8 into a decimal and percent.

• A. Decimal: 0.875, Percent: 87.5%
• B. Decimal: 0.78, Percent: 78%
• C. Decimal: 0.88, Percent: 88%
• D. Decimal: 0.90, Percent: 90%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert the fraction 7/8 into a decimal, you divide 7 by 8, which equals 0.875. To express this decimal as a percentage, you multiply it by 100 to get 87.5%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct conversion of the fraction 7/8 into a decimal and a percent.
