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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Mean. The mean is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of values. Outliers can significantly skew the mean because they have a greater impact on the total sum. The median (B) is less affected by outliers since it is the middle value when data is sorted. The mode (C) is the most frequent value and is not affected by outliers. Choice D is incorrect as outliers can impact the mean in a small sample set.

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: 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.

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.
