Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, we know that 128 fluid ounces = 1 gallon. Therefore, for 1,000 fluid ounces, we divide 1,000 by 128 to get approximately 7.8125 gallons (A). The correct answer is A because it correctly represents the conversion of fluid ounces to gallons. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the conversion factor. B is twice the correct answer, C is four times, and D is eight times the correct conversion.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because in multiplication and division, the product of the quotient and the divisor is indeed the dividend. To understand this, consider a division problem like 12 ÷ 3 = 4. Here, 4 (quotient) multiplied by 3 (divisor) equals 12 (dividend). Therefore, the product of the quotient and the divisor equals the dividend. Choice A is incorrect as it doesn't align with the relationship between quotient, dividend, and divisor in division. Choice B is incorrect as it reverses the relationship between dividend and divisor in multiplication. Choice D is incorrect as there is a correct statement among the choices.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve |x| = 10, we consider both possibilities: x = 10 and x = -10 since the absolute value of x is always positive. So, the correct answer is A: -10, 10. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct solutions to the absolute value equation given.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators and denominators separately. So, (3/5) * (5/8) = (3*5)/(5*8) = 15/40. However, it can be simplified to 3/8 by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5. Thus, the correct answer is A: 3/8. Choice B (3/5) is the first fraction, not the result. Choice C (15/40) is the intermediate result before simplification. Choice D (3/30) is incorrect as the numerator should be 15, not 3.
