Choice A (0.01) is incorrect as it represents 1/100, not the result of 25 × 4. Choice B (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 1/10. Choice D (10) is incorrect as it is the result before converting it to decimal form.

3. In your class, there are 48 students; 32 students are female. Approximately what percentage are male?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In a class of 48 students, with 32 being female, the number of male students is 48 - 32 = 16. To calculate the percentage of male students, divide the number of male students (16) by the total number of students (48) and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (16 / 48) * 100 = 33%. Therefore, approximately 33% of the students in the class are male. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total number of words typed in 20 minutes, multiply the typing speed per minute (45 words) by the duration in minutes (20 minutes): 45 words/min × 20 min = 900 words. Therefore, the correct answer is 900 words. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.

5. A train travels at 70 mph for 6 hours. How far did it travel?
