<p>I was reviewing problems I missed and I still don't really get #46 from Test 2 in The Real ACT Prep Guide even after reading their explanation...</p>
<p>Can someone clarify?</p>
<p>Math, science or what?</p>
<p>Well its question 46 so its either English or Math. I'm guessing math.</p>
<p>I actually did this problem today:</p>
<p>A restaurant has 10 booths that will seat up to 4 people each. If 20 people are seated in booths, and NO booths are empty, what is the greatest possible number of booths that could be filled with 4 people?</p>
<p>F. 0
G. 1
H. 2
J. 3
K. 5</p>
<p>So there are 10 tables where people can sit and EVERY BOOTH has at least one person in it. Since there are 10 booths, think of 1 person sitting at each of the 10 booths. You now have 10 more people to sit and you want to fill the most booths with 4 people. Since only 4 people can sit at a booth: add 3 people to the first booth (now it's full), add 3 people to the second booth (now it's full), add 3 people to the third booth (now it's full). You're up to 19 people sitting. The last guy sits and the fourth booth and you have 3 FULL booths and at least 1 person in every other booth. The answer is J, 3.</p>
<p>If he meant the English section number 46:</p>
<p>In the dusk of a late summer evening, I walked quietly with a small gathering of people toward a shelter at the edge of a field in northern Indiana.</p>
<ol>
<li>
F. NO CHANGE
G. On
H. With
J. From</li>
</ol>
<p>Can you walk WITH dusk? No. Can you walk ON dusk? No. Can you from FROM dusk? No. When talking about periods of a day, use the preposition "in." "IN the morning I got up. IN the afternoon I came home from school. I went to a movie IN the evening." </p>
<p>The answer is F. NO CHANGE.</p>
<p>It was math, sorry for the confusion. But I actually just got it after asking my friend a while ago. Thanks for all the help though. The wording threw me off.</p>
