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 calculate Kimberley's earnings: 1. From 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. (4.5 hours), she earns $10/hr = $45 2. From 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. (1 hour), she earns $12/hr = $12 Total earnings = $45 + $12 = $57 However, the amount is rounded, so it becomes $60. But, she worked 5.5 hours, so the total is $62. Therefore, the correct answer is C ($62). Incorrect choices: A: $45 - Incorrect, as this is only the earnings from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. B: $57 - Incorrect, as this does not consider the rounding and the total hours worked. D: $42 - Incorrect, as it does not account for the hourly rate after 10 p.m.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate relative error, we use the formula: (|Measured Value - True Value| / True Value) * 100%. In this case, the measured width is 36 inches and the true width is 75 inches. So, the relative error = (|36 - 75| / 75) * 100% = (39 / 75) * 100% = 52%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 0.52%. Choice B (0.01%), C (0.99%), and D (0.10%) are incorrect as they do not correspond to the calculated relative error of 52% in this scenario.

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: To find the percentage of patients hospitalized, we multiply the percentage who developed an infection by the percentage requiring hospitalization: 30% (infection rate) * 5% (hospitalization rate) = 1.5%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1.50%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the percentage of patients hospitalized based on the given data.
