SAT Math Thread

<p>yeah good cause i was reading through this read and people were saying c, thankfully its a though.</p>

<p>For keypad I got 9</p>

<p>@Upenns C/D wouldn’t work with -3.</p>

<p>|2(-3)-3|=|-3|
|-9|=|-3|</p>

<p>I might have misread the keypad one though
Are you sure it was made with a symbol and four #s? I could’ve sworn it was 2#s
If it’s four, that’s implausible if none of the keys touch</p>

<p>Question with point P wasA.</p>

<p>If the distance from 3 is twice the distance from 0, then:
2(distance from 0) = (distance from 3)
2(abs(x)) = abs(x-3)</p>

<p>which was A with the left and right switched =)</p>

<p>@SAT100
That’s why answer is A! :D</p>

<p>Oh lol I thought you were saying that could work too! I am surprised so many people missed that one.</p>

<p>What do you all think the curve is on the Math? I got all of the answers right except the last grid-in, where I thought it said the number of teachers decreased by 8 percent rather than increased. Do you think an 800 is possible after missing 1 grid-in problem?</p>

<p>@SRhett
Because there are fewer questions on Math than on CR, it’s extremely rare to get -1 and still get an 800.</p>

<p>Srhett</p>

<p>Possible? Yes. Likely for this test? No. Probably 760-780.</p>

<p>what was the answer to the cone one?</p>

<p>@concretepencil94
36pi</p>

<p>did anyone get the putting in candy into the vending machine one?</p>

<p>i put 196 :S</p>

<p>^Wasn’t 120 the max that it could have? I completely forgot about that one, I remember I guessed 96 or whatever C was. Only question that completely confused me.</p>

<p>@cajoler
Vending Machine A and B can both hold 120 items. If Vending Machine A is 5/6 full and B is 4/5 full, what is the minimum number of items required to fill both completely?
How many items are gone from A? 120<em>1/6=20
How many items are gone from B? 120</em>1/5=24
20+24=44.
I’m not sure how you got 196…</p>

<p>what I did was 4/5(60)+5/6(60)=98 or something</p>

<p>But weren’t they asking how many total snacks and beverages they needed to fill up the vending machines again? Since there were only 44 in total left from the original 240 (120 items in each) I put 196 as well :s</p>

<p>@bob12345 Didn’t the question say that last week 4/5 and 5/6 were gone?</p>

<p>What I could remember from that question is that it asked(if my memory is right) is that how much it would take to completely fill back up both of the vending machines
(since it said both were 5/6 and 4/5 empty respectively) which would take 196 items, which is where I believe Cajoler got his/her answer from</p>

<p>It’s 196. 120 items in each to start with, 4/5 of one machine and 5/6 of the other machine were sold. So, 120(4/5+5/6) = 196</p>
