A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles took 1 hour, the second set of 6 miles took 1.2 hours, the third set of 6 miles took 1.5 hours, and the fourth set of 6 miles took 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total time taken, add the time for each segment: 1 hour + 1.2 hours + 1.5 hours + 1.6 hours = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the course. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the cumulative time calculated based on the given information.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters. Therefore, to convert 3000 millimeters to meters, we divide by 1000. 3000 millimeters / 1000 = 3 meters. Choice A, '3 meters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '30 meters,' is incorrect because it represents a miscalculation of multiplying instead of dividing. Choice C, '0.3 meters,' is incorrect as it is the result of a decimal error. Choice D, '300 meters,' is incorrect as it is a result of not converting millimeters to meters correctly.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 · 6 = 133 chapters. Reading 2 chapters per day means it will take 133 · 2 = 66.5 days. Choice A, 133 days, is incorrect because it miscalculates the days needed to finish the book. Choice B, 399 days, is incorrect as it doesn't consider the number of chapters read per day. Choice D, 75 days, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total number of chapters in the book.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2400 milliliters. Since 1 pint is equivalent to 480 milliliters, to find out how many milliliters are in 5 pints, you multiply 480 by 5, which equals 2400 milliliters. Choice B (4800 milliliters) is incorrect because it multiplies 480 by 10 instead of 5. Choice C (2000 milliliters) is incorrect as it incorrectly equates 1 pint to 400 milliliters. Choice D (3600 milliliters) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion of pints to milliliters.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, multiply the number of yards by 36 (since there are 36 inches in a yard). 1.5 yards 36 inches/yard = 54 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 54 inches. Choice B, 60 inches, is incorrect as it incorrectly assumes that there are 40 inches in a yard. Choice C, 72 inches, is incorrect as it multiplies 1.5 by 48, which is not the correct conversion factor. Choice D, 84 inches, is incorrect as it multiplies 1.5 by 56, which is not the correct conversion factor.
