Official October SAT Math Discussion

<p>Does anyone know the answer with the cookies question? I put aboslute |w-500| = 15 because I think it just said around 15 grams =. not sure tho</p>

<p>@Archu1 - i made 3 mistakes well i guess we wont know till scores come out</p>

<p>but majority doesnt make it correct</p>

<p>Actually, in the marker/ rest area problem I recall there being a rest stop AND a marker in the beginning. This would yield a 2:1 ratio (8 markers: 4 rest areas).</p>

<p>I could be wrong, but I remember specifically verifying that very very carefully.</p>

<p>Which one was the experimental section? The one with that stupid cube?</p>

<p>@KennyP - yep thats what i thought</p>

<p>it said a class of 150 had 60% of seniors… which is 90 seniors in that class</p>

<p>so then again 60% of 150 = 90 so its 150!</p>

<p>THIS WAS DEF. A TRICK QUESTION</p>

<p>@AspiringStudent - the SA one? 54? that was real</p>

<p>|w-500| less than or equal to 15</p>

<p>I doubled 90 and got 180 so 150 was the only number less than 180</p>

<p>Can you explain michael how wyou get less than or equal??? If it was less than 15 wouldnt it also be unacceptable just as much as it being greater than 15?</p>

<p>@michaellax28 - i got that</p>

<p>@byahnoob No. It said 60% of the school were seniors. 40% of the seniors were boys and 90 girls…unless I read it wrong. Darn it.</p>

<p>same. It seems that many people thought it was hard/made lots of stupid mistakes, does this mean the curve will be less harsh?</p>

<p>@Niquii77 - i know it said a class of 150 had 60% seniors</p>

<p>i believe thats what it said…</p>

<p>It said that the weight could be +/-15 from 500, so between 485 and 515</p>

<p>|w-500| less than or equal to 15 fits that</p>

<p>|516-500| = 16</p>

<p>|484-500| = 16</p>

<p>Archu, do you remember that problem and your answer?</p>

<p>another question: are there specific questions in the math section that are considered experimental?</p>

<p>it was |w-500| LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 15</p>

<p>ageawgoiaewgjioaewjgioajewegio the cube wasegaowiejgoie4jaogij4oaeiwjgoia real agioeroighaioegioewahwioeghioaehegheioawegoiajwgoi i swear i had an 800 until that steoiawhgeioajgioejaiogjeaiogjewiogje.</p>

<p>wooo</p>

<p>|w-500| LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 15
got that right lmao and something we agree on</p>

<p>@Aspiring hahhahhahahahahahahah</p>

<p>Im not good at explaining but…
You can either be up to 15 more or 15 less of grams so
|510-500| = 10 < 15
|490-500| = 10 < 15
You have a 15 grams of leeway so it can be up to 15 so like 1 gram off or 10 grams off but no more than 15 grams off</p>
