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: The correct answer is C: $500. Sarah earns $12/hour x 20 hours/week = $240/week. If she spends $50/week, her savings are $240 - $50 = $190/week. In 5 weeks, her total savings will be $190/week x 5 weeks = $950. Therefore, the correct answer is $950, which is not represented in the answer choices. Among the given choices, C: $500 is the closest to the calculated savings of $950. Choices A, B, and D are significantly higher than the calculated amount, making them incorrect options.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 3(x - 5) = 2(x + 3) for x: 1. Distribute: 3x - 15 = 2x + 6 2. Combine like terms: 3x - 2x = 6 + 15 3. Simplify: x = 21 Thus, x = 21. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Step 1: Compare the whole numbers. 0.45 > 0.3 > 0.313 > 0.096 Step 2: Compare the decimal parts if necessary. 0.45 has the largest decimal part, making it the largest number overall. Summary: - A is correct as 0.45 is the largest number. - B, C, and D are incorrect as they are smaller than 0.45, either in whole or decimal parts.

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.
