<p>Overall, I think I got 4-5 wrong (which is not good)
1.) Overlapping circles.
2.) Baseball averages
3.) The ‘W’ shaped graph
4.) Radius of the points on a circle (I did the diameter)</p>
<p>Wait, wan’t the baseball average one easy? Or was there some trick to it that I missed??</p>
<p>what about the question of 6x/9x^2 ??
The answer choices:
<p>^ btw, I put 2/3 because I think that is the only one that works…</p>
<p>i dont think that x has to be 2/3…</p>
<p>for a number to be rational, it has to be able to represent as a fraction.
6x/9x^2 comes down to 6/9x
and it doesnt have to be a certain number to become rational.
x can equal to one and the number is rational.
x has to be rational itself in order for the whole thing to become rational.
so the answer is A.</p>
<p>For the M + N = M*N one, read below:</p>
<p>Most people now agree that it asked for DISTINCT PAIRS of positive integers.</p>
<p>We have been thinking about it with only half of the logic needed to solve the problem, though. You can’t say whether or not (2,2) is distinct because you don’t have anything to compare it to. </p>
<p>But, if you ask if (2,2) and (2,3) are distinct, then you can clearly see that the answer is yes. Likewise, the pairs (2,2), (3,3), (2,3), and (3,2) are all distinct from each other. The thing is, you can only flip the values of M and N if they are different. In other words, (2,2) doesn’t count twice.</p>
<p>After all of this, you can see that (2,2) would be the only distinct pair that would work. The answer, therefore, would be 1. Can anyone counter this?</p>
<p>thank you… guess I got it a wrong…:/</p>
<p>wcclirl444 i agree with you!!! 1 is definitely the correct answer</p>
<p>baseball questions…it said that half the games are played at home. Therefore you take the number of games per regular reason, and divide it by 2. Then divide the total attendance by the number of games played at home for the average. And the ACT should just not score that m+n question, and scale it appropriately.</p>
<p>Yay! haha. This at least makes me a little happier (assuming that I am right). Either way, it was a horribly worded question—one of the many horribly worded ones on the exam.</p>
<p>Anyways, science wrecked me so no matter how well I did in the other sections (so far 36 in math and english), I’m still going to be lucky to get a 33 composite.</p>
<p>dirkslam41, was one of the answer choices 2x the correct one? —.— If so, I might be a victim once again to the ACT’s stupid ways of knocking down the scores of people who actually know the stuff…</p>
<p>Oh my gosh, I’m about to flip out. I swear… if I forgot to divide by 2, I just don’t know what I’m going to do</p>
<p>Anyone remember the answer choices for the baseball averages one???</p>
<p>anybody remember the answer with the girl doing the triathalon? How many minutes was it?</p>
<p>I believe 130 minutes.</p>
<p>Distances: 1 mile, 20 mile, 4 mile.
Rates: 4 mph, 16 mph, 6 mph</p>
<p>So (1/4 + 20/16 + 4/6) * 60 = 130 minutes</p>
<p>AH! thanks for the help tho.</p>
<p>im pretty sure it wasn’t -1 it was -2 cuz it was on both sides</p>
<p>What is the overlapping circles one? Are you guys talking about e one where student didn’t take chem or calc or something towards the beginning of the section?</p>
<p>Forgive my potential ignorance, but what about (0,0) for the M/N question?</p>
<p>EDIT: Positive integers means no 0 right?</p>
<p>^ Correct.
The MN question’s answer is 0.</p>
<p>Guys, can anyone confirm that the answer to the venn diagram (3 overlapping circles) question was 3?</p>
<p>The question had 3 circles to represent the amount of people taking a test. Three tests - Spanish, Chem, and Calc. Question asked how many took spanish but not calc and chem. I only looked at the top venn diagram and put 3, since those are the only students who didn’t take anything except for Spanish. Can anyone else confirm the answer 3?</p>
