Official December SAT I Forum

<p>compared to passage 2, passage 1 is more _____
and the answer choices i remember were:
severe
analytical
conversational</p>

<p>I put severe.</p>

<p>i put severe too. was sarcastic another answer choice for that question? im just trying to remember the fourth choice.</p>

<p>I dunno, all I know is that people are mixing up the question.</p>

<p>i still don't see how its y=z.. when i do it out, x can't be z... unless im drawing the triangle wrong</p>

<p>oh, and what's the 3:1 ratio one? i don't remember it... is that the diameter one?</p>

<p>Lol, wow? I put conversational. Maybe I was just waaaay off?</p>

<p><i>I just remembered another math: the one that provided a line graph about the monthly sale of cars at a dealership and asked what the degree measure of the arc created by April would be if put into a circle.</i></p><i>

</i><p><i>Answer: 60 Degrees</i></p>

<p>DAMNIT! I just carelessly thought 180/6=30, not thinking that a circle has 360 degrees. Ugh, that was a #4 too. I hope that was my only extremely careless mistake.</p>

<p>3:1 was the diameter one.</p>

<p>No, I'm pretty sure the question was "compared to passage 1, passage 2 is more___" rather than "compared to passage 2, passage 1 is more". Either way, passage 1 is more scholarly, Passage 2 is more casual.</p>

<p>what the heck...? i put 2:1 for the diameter one
the ratio of the radii would be half that right?</p>

<p><i>I just remembered another math: the one that provided a line graph about the monthly sale of cars at a dealership and asked what the degree measure of the arc created by April would be if put into a circle.</i></p><i>

</i><p><i>Answer: 60 Degrees</i></p>

<p>are u sure it was 60? i thought it was 30 as well, do you remember the question?</p>

<p>It had a graph with sales revenues, with I think 6 points plotted. It had a real basic question, and then for the one we're inquiring about it said "If this were graphed as a circle, what degree would one of the arcs form." Something like that, I know I'm butchering the question. But now that I see another poster saying 60, and I remember I did 180/6, it seems to me like Im wrong since a straight line is 180 and a circle is 360.</p>

<p>I remember the answer to that one being 60. There were 30 sold that month and 180 sold total so 30/180 X 360 = 60. At least that is what think it was.</p>

<p>How many consecutive numbers between 0-1000 = triplets. ---> 9</p>

<p>How many rectangles? ---> 4+</p>

<p>Telephone ---> 40</p>

<p>(3x+y)/y.....x/y ---> 1/15</p>

<p>wood & glass (red/blue) marbles ---> 20</p>

<p>red/white/blue outfits ---> 6</p>

<p>triangle, which is not possible ---> y=z</p>

<p>Venn Diagrams ---> 10</p>

<p>cylinder, rectangular prism ---> (d^2)h</p>

<p>red/green marbles ---> 8</p>

<p>4n - 4 = k ---> 52</p>

<p>f(x) = |3x-17| ---> multiple answers</p>

<p>Perimeter = area....---> k=1.6</p>

<p>cds in box ---> 32</p>

<p>x@ = (x+1)(x-1)...6@ - 5@ ---> 2@ + 3@</p>

<p>graph: ax+2, (a/3)x+2 ---> wider</p>

<p>graph: equal distance...(a,b) ---> (-a,b)</p>

<p>graph: one angle = 80degrees, two others were equal ---> 50degrees</p>

<p>Month of April in circle: 60 degrees</p>

<p>parallel lines/alternate interior angles: y=3x; 4x=180; x=45 so y=135 degrees</p>

<p>Ratio of similiar sides in triangle: 4/5</p>

<p>Rati of the radii in the short math section: 3:1</p>

<p>One problem provided perpindicular lines at the end of a math section and asked what the y intercept was.</p>

<p>Answer: 5</p>

<p>Graph problem: Flipped across the X axis and appeared upside down.</p>

<p>Missing number; MODE problem: 6</p>

<p>L=10W </p>

<p>Number line inequality problem: greater than or equal to one. </p>

<p>One where it asked you the absolute value of a function that graphed a parabola: the answer was the parabola that sat in the first quadrant, no negative Y values</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question that had something like what is 2^n+2 in terms of k? The answer to it was said earlier in the thread but I was wondering if somebody could explain it. I think that was the only math one I missed.</p>

<p>lol sorry, can someone explain 3:1 to me...?</p>

<p>dude i remember i made sure i READ it over twice.
it was compared to passage 2 , passage 1 is ________</p>

<p>It is severe.</p>

<p>The big circle had a diameter of 3d, the small circle had a diameter of d. The problem asked for the ratio of the radius from big to small so we divide 3d by 2 and d by 2 to obtain the two radii. They come out as 1.5 and .5, respectively. 1.5:5= 3:1</p>

<p>why do i remember the answer "sarcastic"? what question was it?</p>

<p>It was severe, believe me. Passage two was clearly more conversational than passage one, so that answer is erroneous.</p>
