decimal is less than 5, round down to the nearest whole number, e.g., 33.4 = 33 If the number to the
right of the decimal is 5 or greater, round up to the nearest whole number, e.g. 33.5 =34.
2. Read the question carefully. Pay close attention to the units be asked and keep them consistent. For
example, hours vs FTEs; days vs months vs years.
3. Provide ALL formulas with references. Designate which formula associates with which source. It is
not sufficient to simply list the source at the beginning of the section. Write out the formula used
BEFORE filling in the numbers. Formulas used should be taken from one of the required
