Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To reach $300, Bernard needs to work for $300 / $80 = 3.75 days. Since he can only work full days, he needs to work for 4 days to make at least $300. Thus, the correct answer is C. Option A (2 days), B (3 days), and D (5 days) are incorrect as they do not meet the minimum requirement of $300.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the number of nights Sarah needs to read 140 pages, we first calculate her rate: 21 pages / 4 nights = 5.25 pages/night. Then, we divide 140 pages by her rate: 140 pages / 5.25 pages/night ≈ 26.67 nights. Since she can't read a fraction of a night, she would need 27 nights to read 140 pages. A: Incorrect. 6 nights is too short based on the rate calculation. B: Incorrect. 26 nights is close, but rounding up is necessary. C: Incorrect. 8 nights is too short based on the rate calculation.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the overall median, we first arrange the scores in ascending order: 78, 83, 92, 97. The median is the middle value, which is 92 in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect as it is not a score in the list. Choice C is incorrect as it is the median of the list, not the overall median. Choice D is incorrect as it is the average of all scores, not the median.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (1.07548) because it has the largest value among the given numbers. To determine this, we compare the numbers using their place values. The number with the largest value is the one with the highest digit in the leftmost place. In this case, 1.07548 has the largest value as it has 1 in the ones place, which is greater than 1 in the tenths place in A and C, and the highest value in the thousandths place compared to D. Choices A, C, and D have smaller values because their leftmost digit is smaller than the corresponding digit in B.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert feet to kilometers, we need to know that 1 kilometer is approximately 3280.84 feet. So, to find out how many kilometers 4382 feet is, we divide 4382 by 3280.84, which equals approximately 1.336 kilometers. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1.336 kilometers. Choice B: 14.376 kilometers is incorrect as it is too high. Choice C: 1.437 kilometers is incorrect as it is a close but slightly higher value. Choice D: 13.336 kilometers is incorrect as it is much higher than the actual value.
