1. What is the range in the number of houses sold per year?

• A. 20
• B. 25
• C. 29
• D. 35

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The range in the number of houses sold per year is calculated by subtracting the minimum number of houses sold from the maximum number of houses sold. In this case, the range is 42 (maximum) - 11 (minimum) = 31, not 29 as stated in the original rationale. Therefore, choice C (29) is incorrect. Choices A (20), B (25), and D (35) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct range of houses sold per year, which is 31.

2. Divide 4/3 by 9/13 and reduce the fraction.

• A. 52/27
• B. 51/27
• C. 52/29
• D. 51/29

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (4/3) ÷ (9/13) = (4/3) * (13/9) = 52/27. This fraction is already in its reduced form, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing the fractions 4/3 by 9/13.

3. There are 80 mg in 0.8 mL of Acetaminophen Concentrated Infant Drops. If the proper dosage for a four-year-old child is 240 mg, how many milliliters should the child receive?

• A. 0.8 mL
• B. 1.6 mL
• C. 2.4 mL
• D. 3.2 mL

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find out how many milliliters the child should receive, divide the total required dosage of 240 mg by the concentration of the medication, which is 80 mg per 0.8 mL. 240 mg ÷ 80 mg/mL = 3 mL. Since each dose is 0.8 mL, the total dosage for the child would be 3 doses x 0.8 mL per dose = 2.4 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.4 mL. Choice A (0.8 mL) is the concentration of the medication, not the total dose. Choices B (1.6 mL) and D (3.2 mL) are incorrect calculations that do not consider the concentration of the medication and the total required dosage correctly.

4. Veronica has to create the holiday schedule for the neonatal unit at her hospital. She knows that 35% of the staff members will not be available because they are taking vacation days during the holiday. Of the remaining staff members who will be available, only 20% are certified to work in the neonatal unit. What percentage of the total staff is certified and available to work in the neonatal unit during the holiday?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After 35% of the staff is on vacation, 65% remain. Of these remaining staff, 20% are certified to work in the neonatal unit. To find the percentage of the total staff that is certified and available, we calculate 20% of the 65% remaining staff: 0.2 * 65% = 13%. Therefore, 13% of the total staff is certified and available to work in the neonatal unit during the holiday. The correct answer is 0.13. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the correct percentage calculation based on the given information.

5. Which number is larger, 0.5 or 1/3?

• A. 0.5
• B. 1/3
• C. They are equal
• D. Cannot be determined

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To compare 0.5 and 1/3, we can convert 0.5 to a fraction, which is 1/2. When comparing 1/2 and 1/3, we find that 1/2 is greater than 1/3. Therefore, 0.5 is larger than 1/3. Choice B is incorrect as 1/3 is smaller. Choice C is incorrect as the numbers are not equal. Choice D is incorrect as a clear comparison can be made.
