    • B. 4.875
    • C. 487.5
    • D. 4875
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    7.5 = 0.75 × 10 and 6.5 = 0.65 × 10. Therefore, 7.5 × 6.5 = (0.75 × 10) × (0.65 × 10) = 0.4875 × 100 = 48.75.

  3. Q3 · Time and Distance

    • D. 50 km/h
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Speed = Distance / Time = 150 m / 15 s = 10 m/s. Converting to km/h: 10 × (18/5) = 36 km/h.
