A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
ABC
- E.
Co2
Correct Answer
E. Co2Explanation
Co2 fire extinguishers are the best type to use on computer equipment because they are safe to use around electrical equipment and do not leave any residue. Co2 extinguishers work by displacing oxygen, which suffocates the fire. This type of extinguisher is effective for Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires, making it suitable for computer equipment that may involve both. Additionally, Co2 extinguishers do not conduct electricity, reducing the risk of further damage to the equipment.Rate this question:

If a small Grease fire starts in a pan you should.
- A.
Use baking powder to put the fire out
- B.
Smother the flames by carefully sliding the lid over the pan (make sure you are wearing an oven mitt). Turn off the burner.
- C.
Pour water on the fire.
- D.
Move the pan to the sink and run water over it.
Correct Answer
B. Smother the flames by carefully sliding the lid over the pan (make sure you are wearing an oven mitt). Turn off the burner.Explanation
The correct answer is to smother the flames by carefully sliding the lid over the pan and turning off the burner. This is the safest and most effective way to extinguish a small grease fire. Using baking powder, pouring water, or moving the pan to the sink and running water over it can actually worsen the fire by spreading the grease and causing it to splatter. Smothering the flames with a lid cuts off the oxygen supply and helps to suffocate the fire. Turning off the burner further prevents the fire from reigniting.Rate this question:

You should treat a burn with cool water for how long?
- A.
7 to 10 minutes.
- B.
5 to 7 minutes.
- C.
3 to 5 minutes.
- D.
Cool water isn't good for a burn
Correct Answer
C. 3 to 5 minutes.Explanation
To treat a burn, it is recommended to use cool water for a duration of 3 to 5 minutes. This time frame allows the cool water to help reduce the heat and soothe the burn without causing further damage or discomfort. Cooling the burn for too short a time may not be effective, while cooling it for too long may lead to overcooling and potential complications. Therefore, 3 to 5 minutes is the ideal duration to treat a burn with cool water.Rate this question:
