Since

Alternatively, in the calculator multiply 12 × 60 × 45 = 32,400, then take the
square root to get 180 for the numerator. The denominator is 5 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
× 3 × 3 = 720. Finally, calculate
= 0.25, which is
.

(C).
Combine the four fractions by finding a common denominator (8
xy
,
which is also suggested by the answer choices):
Now the key is to factor the top expression correctly:
xy
– 4
y
– 2
x
+ 8 = (
x
– 4)(
y
– 2)
It is a good idea to FOIL the expression on the right to make sure it matches
the left-hand side. Or, FOIL the numerators of the choices to see which
matches the distributed form of the numerator above.
Finally,

(A).
Since the decimal rounds to 12.16, the thousandths digit
x
must be 5,
6, 7, 8, or 9. All of these possibilities are greater than 4.
