2011 January SAT: Math

<p>What was the answer to this question, something like x=2/3 W, what is the ratio of w^2 to x^2, I got x was 4/9 w and was lost.</p>

<p>That was 9:4 I believe… since the ratio was w:x and if x=2/3W w has to be the bigger number?</p>

<p>^ multiply by 9
RAtio was 4:9</p>

<p>please someone remember the questions with answers 4 (in the grid in part)</p>

<p>I was wanting to put 9 to 4, but it didn’t make sense to me. 4/9 to 9/9</p>

<p>i think it was 4-9 not 9-4, because it was like 9/4x^2=w^2, but it was asking what the ratio of w-x was, so it u had to multiple by 9/4 to both sides and the answer was 4/9</p>

<p>I put 9:4
W was bigger</p>

<p>I mean 9:4</p>

<p>pretty sure it was 4-9…</p>

<p>was the 2nd open response question 36 or 256?
somoone on this forum said it was 36…i got 256 o.O ?</p>

<p>The ratio of w^2 to x^2 means w^2/x^2, which was 9/4.</p>

<p>256 </p>

<p>One minute wait time between posts is stupid</p>

<p>^^^Both 36 and 256 are correct.</p>

<p>I put 9/4. On track…</p>

<p>how do you get 61 for the hexagon question?</p>

<p>If I remember correctly, it was like 1+6+12+18+24</p>

<p>Any thoughts on the curve?</p>

<p>800
780
760?</p>

<p>or </p>

<p>800
800
770</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>800
790
760?</p>

<p>The Hexagon Problem was you had to realize that each time you made a new hexagon, you added a multiple of 6 hexagons onto it. So the first shape had 1 hexagon. The second shaped had 1+6 =7 hexagons. The third had 7+12 = 19 . Fourth had 19+18= 37. Fifth had 37+24= 61 hexagons.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the exact w^2 and x^2 problem…maybe i wrote 9/4 and im not remembering correctly…</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the answer to the problem with the overlapping sticks? It was asking for the length of each overlap or something.</p>

<p>alright, thanks for the explanation. i guessed 60 which was pretty close :).</p>
