Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the width, we first calculate the total length of the rectangle by multiplying the length by 2 (since there are 2 lengths in a rectangle). 12 cm x 2 = 24 cm. Subtracting this from the total perimeter of 36 cm gives us 36 cm - 24 cm = 12 cm. Since the width is divided into 2 sides, we divide 12 cm by 2 to get the width of 6 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is C: 6 cm. Choice A (3 cm) is incorrect because it does not account for the total perimeter. Choice B (12 cm) is incorrect as it represents the length, not the width. Choice D (8 cm) is incorrect as it does not align with the calculations based on the given information.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Step 1: Identify the integer closest to 4.6, which is 5. Step 2: Determine the distance between 4.6 and both neighboring integers: 4 (0.6 away) and 5 (0.4 away). Step 3: Since 4.6 is closer to 5, rounding to the nearest integer gives us 5, making choice C the correct answer. Summary: Choice A is incorrect as it is the integer below 4.6. Choice B is incorrect as it is not the closest integer to 4.6. Choice D is incorrect as it is greater than 4.6.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2 x 4 x 4 x 2. To find the value of 6 x 12, we can break it down into simpler multiplication. 6 x 12 = 6 x (4 x 3) = (2 x 3) x (4 x 3) = 2 x 4 x 4 x 2. This shows that the value of 6 x 12 is indeed equal to 2 x 4 x 4 x 2. Explanation for why other choices are incorrect: B: 7 x 4 x 3 does not equal 6 x 12. C: 6 x 6 x 3 equals 108, not 72 (6 x 12). D: 3 x 3 x 4 x 2 equals 72, but the order of multiplication is not the same as in 6 x 12, making it incorrect.

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 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.
