November 2008 SAT Discussion for International Students

<p>Math Section</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>4 (for the cylinders)
0.08 or 2/25 (for the second grid-in)</p>

<p>copy and add more answers</p>

<p>what was the box question?</p>

<p>bluewasabi
In the first answer do u mean (x+1,y+2)</p>

<p>and 5 for the one with nickels and dimes.</p>

<p>what was the box question?</p>

<p>yeah ccprofile that’s what i meant
and the box question is the one with 0.3_ <– box
where u divide a single digit number with a double digit number.
i got 3 for the answer.</p>

<p>^nope. definitely 2</p>

<p>0.33 = 33/100 which is 2 digits over 3 digits, not 1 digit over 2 digits</p>

<p>0.32 = 8/25, which is 1 digit over 2 digits.</p>

<p>Also can anyone else confirm that the translation for the f(x) and g(x) graphing question was indeed f(x)-2 not f(x)+2 ? I’m kind of worried right now that I mixed up f(x) and g(x) because I distinctly remember choosing f(x)+2</p>

<p>what about 4/12 it’s 0.33</p>

<p>can there be multiple answers?</p>

<p>^that is incorrect.</p>

<p>4/12 is simplified to 1/3. both fractions are equivalent to 0.3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333</p>

<p>where the 3 repeats infinitely.</p>

<p>that is not the same thing as 0.33</p>

<p>btw the answer is 36…not 16</p>

<p>but it didn’t say the decimal can’t repeat.
it just asked for the value of the hundredth digit.
and what about 9/25 it’s 0.36</p>

<p>actually it did say that 0.33 cannot repeat.</p>

<p>why?</p>

<p>because it said 0.33</p>

<p>not 0.333…
or 0.33 with a line over “33”
you need to use such symbols to signify that the 3 is repeating, which they clearly did not. bottom line is 0.3333333333 repeating and 0.33 are totally different numbers. end of story.</p>

<p>9/25 or 0.36 is correct but if I remember correctly that was not an answer choice.</p>

<p>ccprofile</p>

<p>0.08 thing - clueless:) I just remember gridding it in</p>

<p>Oh, and does anybodu remember the answer choice for the box question? Like was 2 A or B or whatever…?</p>

<p>I keep remembering things pretty slowly: I also had a 48 grid in, if it wasn’t mentioned and if it’s right, of course</p>

<p>hey… wat about that shakespeare passage question… which of the facts would rule out bismarck’s statement…</p>

<p>there were two that were close…

  1. most playrights from 1600’s had aristocratic backgrounds
  2. it was common to read first hand accounts of court during shakespeare’s times</p>

<p>??? which one was it</p>

<p>for the t shirt question i got 13!!! i checked twice :frowning: was that right???</p>

<p>i think its the second one
that was what i put…
coz shakespeare didnt have aristocratic backgrounds i think…</p>

<p>I got 2) neethu16</p>
