March SAT Math Thread

<p>Tanya was one of the easiest problems. I don’t know why so many of you guys are so confused about this.</p>

<p>I got Tanya I</p>

<p>I got Tanya was II only… and like 85 percent of you got I only. This is so outta whack.</p>

<p>Jersey I think that might have been experimental.</p>

<p>(x-4)(x+4) comes out x^2-16, not 12</p>

<p>i don’t remember that problem either(-21 is value of z when r is 7)</p>

<p>^^ Probably, I had an experimental math - removed it. </p>

<p>Consolidated list - NO EXPERIMENTAL ANSWERS</p>

9 is difference of similar triangle perimeters</p>

<p>I got II only also. :(</p>

<p>for the 10r=p isnt it the other way around since p is a decimal?</p>

<p>What do you think the math curve would be? eg: -1= , -2= , etc.</p>

<p>p is a percent.</p>

<p>Tanya Question - Hardest question on the test lol</p>

<p>stared at it for 2 minutes saying ***
I put I only.</p>

<p>150 coffee flavored candies</p>

<p>Does anyone remember what the letter of this answer? I put C.</p>

<p>For question regarding the area of the triangle inside of the cone, wasn’t it 120?
OH nvm :(! Silly mistake! forgot to divide by two :(!</p>

<p>for the Tanya the reason why both could not work was because its a function and one of the values it was suggesting was already used by another letter</p>

<p>What was the question with the answer x=65. If there’s a diagram or something it might be hard to explain, but anything that would help me remember which one would be helpful.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Both cannot work for the Tanya one because Option 2 had 5 different numbers; TANYA has 2 “As” in it, so two of the numbers would have to be the same. I think that that option didn’t end on a 4/7, or whatever the corresponding number for A was.</p>

<p>Can someone please explain the problem where the answer is “1 million in profit”</p>

<p>Was it the bar graph? (with two bars). For some reason I remember the question saying to only look at the first bar (which was 3 mil.)
Didn’t it give a certain year? Or was it just overall?</p>

<p>The question was how much in profits did Airline X make this year. There were two bar graphs. The first bar graph was for Quarter One, with revenues of 7 million and expenses of 4 million. The second bar graph was for Quarter Two, with revenues of 4 million and expenses of 6 million. Ergo, the profits are 1 million.</p>

<p>The bar graph had 2 bars for the first half the year, and 2 bars for the other half. The first half was a profit of 7 million - 4 million, i.e. 3 millions dollars. The second was 6 million - 8 million, i.e. they lost 2 million.</p>

<p>Ah okay thanks. I got that one wrong.</p>
