• A. 64 ounces
• B. 128 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 16 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 128 ounces. There are 32 ounces in a quart, so when you have 4 quarts, you multiply 4 by 32 to get the total number of ounces, which equals 128. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from quarts to ounces.

Choice B (0.2) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 2, not 20%. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it is not the result of calculating 20% of 2. Choice D (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 5% of 2, not 20%.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of the train (65 mph) by the time it traveled (1.5 hours): 65 mph × 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the train traveled 97.5 miles. Choice B, 95 miles, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct calculation. Choice C, 100 miles, is incorrect as it is a rounded-up value. Choice D, 100.5 miles, is incorrect as it is a miscalculation.
