1. What are all the factors of 12?

• A. 12, 24, 36
• B. 1, 2, 4, 6, 12
• C. 12, 24, 36, 48
• D. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The factors of 12 are numbers that divide evenly into 12 without leaving a remainder. The correct factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Choice A (12, 24, 36) is incorrect as only 12 is a factor of 12. Choice B (1, 2, 4, 6, 12) includes all the correct factors of 12. Choice C (12, 24, 36, 48) is incorrect as 24, 36, and 48 are not factors of 12.

2. If , then

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If \(2x = 6\), then solving for \(x\), we have \(x = \frac{6}{2} = 3\). So, if \(x = 3\), then \(x+1 = 3+1 = 4\). Therefore, the value of \(x+1\) would be 4.

3. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 6 cm?

• A. 24 cm
• B. 12 cm
• C. 18 cm
• D. 36 cm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the side length by 4 since all sides are equal. In this case, the side length is 6 cm, so the perimeter is 4 * 6 = 24 cm. Therefore, choice A, 24 cm, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation for the perimeter of a square.

4. A book has a width of 5 decimeters. What is the width of the book in centimeters?

• A. 0.25 centimeters
• B. 25 centimeters
• C. 250 centimeters
• D. 0.025 centimeters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert decimeters to centimeters, you need to multiply by 10 since 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters. Therefore, to find the width of the book in centimeters, multiply 5 decimeters by 10: 5 decimeters * 10 = 50 centimeters. This means the width of the book is 50 centimeters, making choice B, "25 centimeters," the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert decimeters to centimeters.

5. What percentage of the staff is certified and available to work in the neonatal unit during the holiday if 35% are on vacation and 20% of the remainder are certified?

• A. 0.07
• B. 0.13
• C. 0.65
• D. 0.8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After 35% of the staff are on vacation, 65% remain. Since 20% of the remaining staff are certified, you multiply 0.20 by 65% (0.20 * 65% = 0.13 or 13%). Therefore, the correct answer is 0.13 or 13%. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for the percentage of certified staff available. Choice B is incorrect because it incorrectly states the calculated percentage as 0.13 instead of 0.07.
