<p>OK what everyone get for the three consecutive even numbers and the absolute value slip questions</p>

<p>Same on both</p>

<p>Can you guys rewrite the questions to the best of your ability</p>

<p>OK so it was like what is the smallest sum of three consecutive even numbers whose product is zero?
And the other one was what is combination of the slope of some absolute value equation?

<p>Benh10, does that mean you agree with Kongo</p>

<p>Yes</p>

<p>I got 0 for the slope problem, but -3 (0, -1, -2) for consecutive intergers one.</p>

<p>OK I don’t remember the exact question but it went along the line of the ratio of length to perimeter is 1:3 what is the ratio for the width?</p>

<p>-6 is certainly the right number</p>

<p>The absolute one I just dont remember- sorry</p>

<p>And the weird seed plot thing I got 19?</p>

<p>bmirish898, the consecutive integers one said that they had to be EVEN consecutive integers. </p>

<p>benh10, the ratio of width to length was 1:2</p>

<p>The answer for the consecutive one was -4. It asked for EVEN consecutive integers. So -4, -2, 0. Cause all three had to equal 0 when multiplied together</p>

<p>Here seems to be the general consensus for the questions:
Probability question = {3/4}- answer choice A
Period= 4 pie
Town question= 12
Total hours read question = 24n- answer choice C
Ticket one- 150 adult, { 200 children }
Pencils- 1155- Answer Choice D
Ellipse- x^2/9+ y^2/16 =1- answer choice A
Distance= 5
Kite= 75 degrees- STILL
Billy question- 1.33
Inverse sine - sin^-1 of (18/72)
Consecutive integer question= -6 {-4 x -2 x 0}
Absolute Slope question= 0</p>

<p>I though it was the ratio of width to perimeter </p>

<p>What was the seed question?</p>

<p>I got 19 for the seed question</p>

<p>Do you guys remember the 3 questions on the two different sized pizzas?</p>

<p>OH WAIT i remember getting 75 now!! for some reason i thought you guys meant kite as triangle and that messed me up… that’s what the ACT does to you lol</p>

<p>wait guys, for the consecutive integer problem, it’s 0. cuz -2 0 2 = 0 so isn’t that the least possible value?</p>

<p>What was the seed question?</p>
