Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To simplify the expression 3(1/6) - 1(5/6), we first multiply the whole number by the fraction: 3 * 1/6 = 3/6. Then, we subtract 1 * 5/6 = 5/6. Simplifying 3/6 - 5/6 gives us -2/6, which reduces to -1/3 or 1 (1/3). Therefore, the correct answer is B: 1 (1/3). Choice A: 2 (1/3) is incorrect as the result is negative. Choice C: 2 (1/9) is incorrect as it is not the simplified form. Choice D: 5/6 is incorrect as it is one of the terms in the expression, not the final result.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the total amount contributed, add the amounts given by each roommate: $12.03 + $11.96 + $12.06 = $36.05. Since we are estimating, we can round the total to $36. Therefore, the correct answer is C: $36. Choice A: $34 is incorrect because the total amount is more than $34. Choice B: $35 is incorrect because the total amount is more than $35. Choice D: $37 is incorrect because the total amount is less than $37.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because in this study, the dependent variable is what is being measured or affected (average hours worked per week), and the independent variable is what is being manipulated or controlled (hospital staff types). The average hours worked per week can vary based on the different types of hospital staff, so the staff types are the independent variable. The incorrect choices fail to correctly distinguish between the dependent and independent variables, mixing up the roles of nurses, physicians, and hospital staff with the average hours worked per week.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilometers to miles, we can use the conversion factor of 1 kilometer is approximately 0.621 miles. Therefore, to find the distance in miles, we multiply 45 kilometers by 0.621, which equals approximately 28 miles. Choice C is correct because it correctly converts the distance from kilometers to miles. Choice A (42 miles), Choice B (37 miles), and Choice D (16 miles) are incorrect because they do not correctly convert kilometers to miles. Choice A overestimates the distance, Choice B underestimates it, and Choice D significantly underestimates it.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The perimeter of a hexagon is 6 times the length of one side. So, for a side length of 320 feet, the perimeter is 6 * 320 = 1920 feet. The cost of fencing is $1.75 per foot, so the total cost will be 1920 * $1.75 = $3360. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider the correct perimeter calculation. Choice B is incorrect as it underestimates the total cost. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the total cost.
