SAT March 10 2012

<p>thanks! and i’m pretty sure evenhanded was the answer since the author of paragraph 1 was being more objective and not really taking a side; he said that opponents of the electoral college needed to think of a way to resolve it. so he wasn’t being polemic (strong and harsh argument) or cavalier (haughty). i forget the other choices but i’m pretty sure evenhanded fit the best</p>

<p>in hindsight, i’d agree with evenhanded.</p>

<p>for that 2:3 sedan/vans did you get 35? I had that one and an extra CR section so that was not an experimental math >_<</p>

<p>except me was a lawyer.</p>

<p>me because it’s after a preposition and was because everyone is singular</p>

<p>@pinkrose</p>

<p>Whose can in fact be used to refer to inanimate antecedents. it is commonly not, but there is no other word to refer to them. And the sentence said "lipstick, whose INGREDIENTS include. The lipstick is not plural. The ingredients are plural. Thus, the answer is vary.</p>

<p>it was 35.</p>

<p>Everyone! This thread is very chaotic and people’s questions aren’t being answered.I have a proposed solution. How about for the next 10 minutes we simply talk about the math section. Then after, let’s do critical reading, and lastly Writing. Just so we have some consistency and try to compile a list for all the correct answers. Anyone with me?</p>

<p>For the 2:3 problem, I got 24.</p>

<p>yup, but there’s an almost complete list in the sat march 2012 math thread.</p>

<p>can anyone help me figure out my experimental
i know it was in math but i don’t know which
pretty sure it’s not the one with the circle that had two tangent lines
was it the one with the van and sedan and the 2:3 ratio?</p>

<p>Last time there was separate thread for math, writing, and reading…</p>

<p>^Same (24). What was your reasoning? I feel maybe 60% in mine.</p>

<p>i got twentyfour for the 2:3 problem too but, if you think about you have 3 vans for ever 2 sedans that means for every five cars three are sedans two are vans. :/</p>

<p>35 is divisible by 5 (2+3), therefore the ratio would work since you need integer numbers for the cars. 24 can’t be divisible by 5, so I’m not sure how you would get the 2:3 ratio?</p>

<p>That sounds like a good idea. I’ll start it. Let’s try and move this discussion there.</p>

<p>Poo, I thought it was 24 because 2x3. I couldn’t remember whether I was supposed to add it or multiply.</p>

<p>@Dream would you give us a link to that thread? I can’t find it.</p>

<p>Also, had the answer been 24, then you would need 9.6 sedans vs 14.4 vans to get a 2/3 ratio, since those are the only two numbers that add up to 24 and give the 2/3 ratio…or am I just completely wrong?</p>

<p>Hey does anyone know the answer to the question about a group being able to be divided by 11 to form 10groups of x and one group of 5? Or something along those lines? Was the answer a?</p>

<p>KChang - the answer was 8
I forget the letter choice</p>

<p>I think it was D, 86</p>
