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 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: 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: 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.
