Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert miles to kilometers, we use the conversion factor 1 mile = 1.60934 km. Therefore, to convert 67 miles to kilometers, we multiply 67 miles by 1.60934 km/mile = 107.67178 km. Rounding to three significant digits gives us 107 km, which is the correct answer. Choice B (106 km) is incorrect as it does not account for the correct rounding of the conversion. Choice C (33 km) is incorrect as it significantly underestimates the conversion. Choice D (85 km) is also incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate conversion from miles to kilometers.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To round 2678 to the nearest thousandth, we look at the digit in the thousandth place, which is 6. Since the next digit is 7, we round 6 up to 7. The thousandth place is used to decide whether to round up or down in this case. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they refer to other place values that are not relevant when rounding to the nearest thousandth.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2 x 4 x 4 x 2. To find the value of 6 x 12, we can break it down into simpler multiplication. 6 x 12 = 6 x (4 x 3) = (2 x 3) x (4 x 3) = 2 x 4 x 4 x 2. This shows that the value of 6 x 12 is indeed equal to 2 x 4 x 4 x 2. Explanation for why other choices are incorrect: B: 7 x 4 x 3 does not equal 6 x 12. C: 6 x 6 x 3 equals 108, not 72 (6 x 12). D: 3 x 3 x 4 x 2 equals 72, but the order of multiplication is not the same as in 6 x 12, making it incorrect.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Positive. A line traveling from bottom-left to upper-right on a graph indicates a positive relationship between the predictor and dependent variable. As the predictor increases, the dependent variable also increases. This is because the slope of the line is positive, showing a direct relationship between the two variables. In contrast, a negative relationship (choice B) would be indicated by a line traveling from top-left to bottom-right, where the dependent variable decreases as the predictor increases. Choices C (Exponential) and D (Logarithmic) refer to specific nonlinear relationships, which are not indicated by a line with a positive slope.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 2x + 8 = 0, we first isolate x by subtracting 8 from both sides. This gives us 2x = -8. Then, divide by 2 on both sides to get x = -4 (Choice A). This is the correct answer because -4 satisfies the equation. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not yield a solution that makes the equation true when substituted back into it.
