January 2013 SAT Discusion

<p>Never had prudish :frowning: sorry! I could be wrong though!!</p>

<p>One of the last questions. Which does NOT describe Miss Mazzy? Choices were like exacting, prudish, demonstrative…</p>

<p>@superstarlala mine did the same. More time to read the first couple of questions I guess!</p>

<p>@leecom, the technology was the real one, the chicago was experimental. i had technology and one on asian american equality so we know tech has to be the real one</p>

<p>Can we compile a list of grid in answers?</p>

<p>@Mario When she was describing Miss Mazzy what did delicate mean?</p>

<p>what i remember from grid in
5.4, 15, 2, 40/7, … others?</p>

<p>@glasses1: i dont remember 40/7 as a grid in. I put 7. It was the oil:gas you’re thinking of right?</p>

<p>yeah i think so. there could have been multiple answers for that one though right?
i did
x/(40+x)=1/8 and solved for x</p>

<p>I believe there were any number of proportions that could have been used for the oil:gas one. 7 sounds right. I got 6.67.</p>

<p>its just as long as you set the expression x/(40+x) to anything in between 1.5-1.8, right? or what was the range it was something like that</p>

<p>It was just oil to gas not oil to everything so it’s just x/40</p>

<p>I thought it was just the ratio of gas to oil was between 1/5 and 1/8. They give you 40, so dont you just find a proportion in between 1/5 and 1/8 and cross multiply with x/40 and solve? Maybe I did it wrong…</p>

<p>i’m almost sure it was oil to total, what would be the point of saying “how oil much do you need to ADD to gasoline to make the ratio of ___ to ____ anywhere from 1/5-1/8” if they were just going to have you compare oil to gasoline. the fraction of oil in the solution is x/(40+x) which is what i think it was asking</p>

<p>@glasses1: it was a ■■■■■■■■ question; i looked over it like 10 times but it kept saying oil to gasoline ratio</p>

<p>i checked for total, i really did!</p>

<p>Even if that is the case, my 6.67Oil still works :)</p>

<p>does any one remember this math question?
was it 5,8,10,12,x OR 5, 7, 10, 12, x
average of the terms = median of the terms
it says what’s a possible number for x</p>

<p>I got x=15 and 0</p>

<p>I got 15 also</p>

<p>@ superstarlala was the list was 5, 8, 10, 12, x OR 5,7,10,12,x?</p>

<p>ok so @Desperados, to set the record straight. assuming the question was asking for an oil to gas ratio between 1/8-1/5, and i put 40/7, and b/c (40/7)/40=.14285742857 is in between the range of 1/8-1/5 inclusive, 40/7 works as an answer, right ?</p>
