Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate average speed, you divide the total distance by the total time. In this case, 150 miles divided by 3 hours equals 50 mph. Therefore, choice B is correct. Choice A is incorrect as it is too low. Choice C and D are incorrect as they are too high.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve this question, we first need to find the ratio of girls to boys, which is 3:2. Then, we can set up a proportion to determine the number of girls. Since there are 3 girls for every 2 boys, the total ratio is 3+2=5 parts. To find the number of girls, we divide the total number of students by the total parts (650/5=130). Finally, we multiply the number of parts allocated to girls by the ratio of girls in the total parts (130*3=390). Therefore, there are 390 girls in Jim's school. Choice A (260) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct ratio. Choice B (130) is incorrect as it calculates the total parts instead of the number of girls directly. Choice C (65) is incorrect as it only considers one part of the ratio. Choice D (390) is incorrect as it miscalculates the number of boys, not

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: 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: C

Rationale: To solve this, let's substitute x = 2 into the given equation. Starting with the equation: Now, we substitute x = 2: Therefore, . Thus, the correct answer is C: 3. Explanation for other choices: A: If x = 2, then is not equal to 1. B: If x = 2, then is not equal to 2. D: If x = 2, then is not equal to 4.
