101

<p>definetly 3</p>

102

<p>ans to q about cubes and midpt? i believe they asked for the ratio of the smaller cube to the whole cube....</p>

103

I used numbers... 12 in set A, 24 in set B, leaving 1/4(12) + 1/3(24) in set C, i.e. 11.</p>

<p>Since there are 3 words from set A in set C, it's 3 / 11.</p>

<p>I put caricature for the civil rights guy on TV.

[/quote]
</p>

<p>i got the same answer for both of these questions. i used the same method for the math question. </p>

<p>i chose caricature because he was depicted as a "villain" on tv.</p>

104

<p>2rad(500) / 2rad(500k) = 3 is the equality i thought, and when you solve, you get 1/9?</p>

105

<p>1/6 for the cube midpoint one</p>

106

<p>I put 8. Look at the shape of it and think about it.</p>

i think i ended up with 1/9</p>

108

<p>i might be a little off on the equation now that i think about it, but i know whatever method i used came out to 1/9. I did that problem like 3 times to check cause it was so confusing..</p>

109

<p>in the CR passage about ballet, the question was vocab in context "...responded to teenage girls (something like that) means...i put "resonates with" i think, the other one was "answers" what was it?</p>

110

<p>i got 1/9.. i checked it like 5 times too</p>

111

<p>it's 1/9 for sure! trust me..sorry pootie tang.</p>

112

<p>pimpa i got 1/6 too for the cube midpoint one</p>

113

<p>how do you know if the math section was experimental? D says there was one odd section on her test--question types which were unusual.</p>

114

<p>what cube midpt quesiton?</p>

115

<p>also there was a math question with a trough (triangluar prism), and the given height was 10 and you had to find the width of the trough, i figured it was 8 1/3. am i right?</p>

116

<p>Here's how I remember that problem.</p>

<p>v = 2 rad (5d)
Car A went 100 feet (or whatever units they chose)
Car A's velocity was 3 times that of B's.
B's distance = 100k. What is the value of k?</p>

<p>Here's what I did...</p>

<p>the velocity of A = 1/3 the velocity of B
V of A = 2 rad (5*100) = 2 rad (500)
for B, the V is 1/3 of A's V...
(2 rad 500)/3 = V for B</p>

<p>Then, I used the first equation presented in this post...</p>

<p>(2 rad 500)/3 = 2 rad (5*100k)
(rad 500)/3 = rad (500k)
500/9 = 500k
(1/500)(500/9) = k
1/9 = k</p>

117

<p>I got 12 for the trough, you have to set up a proportion.</p>

<p>15 / 10 = 18 / x, x = 12..</p>

118

<p>i got 12 also</p>

119

<p>can u restate the question or something similar to it for the one that was 1/9????</p>

120

<p>yes, it is 1/9; and the civil rights guy was caricature--that part was comic and exaggerated. Did anyone else find this test to be extremely easy?</p>
