67 miles is equivalent to how many kilometers to three significant digits?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert miles to kilometers, the conversion factor is 1 mile ≈ 1.609 kilometers. Therefore, to convert 67 miles to kilometers, you would multiply: 67 miles 1.609 km/mile = 107.703 km. When rounded to three significant digits, this gives 108 km. Therefore, 67 miles is approximately 108 kilometers. Choice A is correct because it is the closest rounded value to three significant digits. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated conversion of 108 km.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rounding the number 89632 to the nearest hundred means keeping only two digits before the decimal point. The digit in the hundredth place is the digit in the thousands place of the original number, which is 6. Since 6 is equal to or greater than 5, the digit in the hundredth place, which is 3, gets rounded up. Thus, the number 89632 rounded to the nearest hundred is 900. Choice A, 847.9, rounds the number to the nearest tenth, not hundredth. Choice C, 847.89, adds an extra decimal place which is not correct for rounding to the nearest hundred. Choice D, 847.896, adds more decimal places than necessary for rounding to the nearest hundred.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Kimberley worked from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., which is a total of 5.5 hours before 10 p.m. (from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.) and 1 hour after 10 p.m. The earnings she made before 10 p.m. at $10 an hour was 5.5 hours * $10 = $55. Her earnings after 10 p.m. for the rounded hour were 1 hour * $12 = $12. Therefore, her total earnings for the last job were $55 + $12 = $67. Since the amount is rounded to the nearest hour, the closest rounded amount is $62. Therefore, Kimberley earned $62 on her last job. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider the additional earnings after 10 p.m. Choices B and D are incorrect as they do not factor in the hourly rates and the total hours worked accurately.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the median of a set of numbers, first arrange the scores in ascending order: 78, 83, 92, 97. Since there is an even number of scores, we find the median by taking the average of the two middle values. In this case, the middle values are 83 and 92. Calculating (83 + 92) / 2 = 85, we determine that the overall median of Dwayne's scores is 85. Choice A (19) is incorrect as it does not correspond to any value in the given set of scores. Choice C (83) is the median of the original set but not the overall median once arranged. Choice D (87.5) is the average of all scores but not the median.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert feet to kilometers, you need to divide the number of feet by 3280.84 (the number of feet in a kilometer). Therefore, 4382 feet is equal to 4382/3280.84 ≈ 1.336 kilometers. Choice B, 14.376 kilometers, is incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation. Choice C, 1.437 kilometers, is also incorrect, as it is slightly off from the correct conversion. Choice D, 13.336 kilometers, is significantly higher than the correct answer and does not align with the conversion factor.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the circumference of a circle, use the formula 2πr, where r is the radius. In this case, with a radius of 3 inches, the estimated circumference would be 2 x π x 3 = 6π ≈ 18.85 inches. Therefore, the best estimate for the circumference of the frame is 18 inches (Choice C). Choice A (12 inches) is too small as it corresponds to the diameter rather than the circumference. Choice B (16 inches) and Choice D (24 inches) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given radius.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of numbers from 1 to 6, we add them together: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21. Therefore, the correct answer is 21. Choice A (30) is incorrect because it is not the sum of the numbers 1 to 6. Choice C (15) is incorrect as it is the sum of numbers 1 to 5. Choice D (13) is incorrect as it is the sum of numbers 1 to 4, not 1 to 6.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Among the provided options, 0.45 is the largest number. To determine the largest number, compare the decimal values directly. 0.45 is greater than 0.313, 0.3, and 0.096. Therefore, 0.45 is the correct answer. Choice B (0.096) is the smallest as it has the lowest decimal value. Choice C (0.3) is greater than 0.096 but smaller than both 0.313 and 0.45. Choice D (0.313) is greater than 0.3 and 0.096 but smaller than 0.45, making it incorrect.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find out how many days Bernard needs to work to make $300, we divide the total amount he needs by how much he makes per day: $300 / $80 = 3.75 days. Since Bernard can only work full days, he would need to work for 4 days to make $300. Therefore, the correct answer is 4 days. Choice A (2 days) is incorrect because it does not match the calculation based on his daily earnings. Choice B (3 days) is incorrect as the calculated result is not a whole number, so Bernard needs to work for more than 3 days. Choice D (5 days) is incorrect as it exceeds the calculated number of days needed to make $300.
