2012 April ACT General Discussion

<p>@desire800 i got 8% for the problem where the ones digit is double the tens digit</p>

<p>12, 24, 36, 48 are the only numbers between (and including) 2 and 50 by which the ones digit is double the tens digit. This means 4/49 x 100% = 8.16%, or 8%</p>

<p>I could be wrong, and if I am, someone please explain</p>

<p>i thought it was (-3,0) as the center. I got 16% for the double digits one but I wasn’t sure</p>

<p>Runallday, usnfilms -</p>

<p>It was only even numbers from 1-50, hence 4/25 = 16%</p>

<p>Explanation from previous reply: 16% - the numbers 12, 24, 36, 48 - 4 numbers out of 25 possible options (1-50 evens)</p>

<p>runallday-</p>

<p>it was all ‘even’ numbers up to 50. i almost got tricked up by that</p>

<p>What was the Reading answer to the question about the person who said that photography is a mirror or whatever would most likely agree with?</p>

<p>only even numbers for the 2-50 double tens digit question</p>

<p>what was the perimeter for the similar triangles one?</p>

<p>damn it, it was only EVEN numbers. there goes my 36</p>

<p>beachglass-</p>

<p>It was a 2/3 ratio and the first had perimeter of 20. So the answer was 30. Or was it not that simple?</p>

<p>@ battlebrick</p>

<p>I don’t think (-3,0) was the center. I believe it said the radius was 5, and the other two points were (1,0) and (-7,0)</p>

<p>perimeter was 20 or 30 (i think 30), i forgot which triangle it was asking for. ratio was 2:3, etc.</p>

<p>what did you guys get on the xz/y problem? i said 56</p>

<p>It was that simple but I kept reading it as if the 2nd triangle was smaller. Fortunately that wasn’t an answer choice so I went with 30</p>

<p>MarkyMark -</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure 30 is right, that was all there was to it</p>

<p>I got that too. Wait for question 39 about college tuition what was the answer for how much he paid over 4 years?</p>

<p>it was definitely 56. z had to be 16, y had to be 7 or 8. I just happened to plug in the right numbers and got 56.</p>

<p>What was the Reading answer to the question about the person who said that photography is a mirror or whatever would most likely agree with? </p>

<p>====</p>

<p>I put people who like to watch concerts on a CD and not Live or whatever. I’m not sure if that was right.</p>

<p>Wait for question 39 about college tuition what was the answer for how much he paid over 4 years? </p>

<p>===</p>

<p>I put 6000 hope I was right</p>

<p>usnfilms - I got 56 too</p>

<p>@usnfilms since y=2 and x=16 and z=7 or 8 (I think)</p>

<p>usnfilms-</p>

<p>56 sounds right</p>
