SAT math question

<p>1) In the 30-day month of April, for every 3 days it rained, there were 2 days it did not rain. The number of days in April on which it rained was how much greater than the number of days on which it did not rain?</p>

<p>my answer: 6
Answer key: 8</p>

<p>could anyone explain me how?
thnxs</p>

<p>30 days:</p>

<p>30/5=6</p>

<p>for days it rained: 3<em>6=18
for days it did not rain: 2</em>6=12</p>

<p>18-12=6</p>

<p>the answer I get is 6..is this from CB?..if it isn't I think they might be wrong...</p>

<p>^ that's what i got, i got marked wrong for that..idk why.. -_-</p>

<p>it can't be from CB----i bet 10$</p>

<p>Answer must be 6.</p>

<p>The question is from the October 06 QAS. The answer IS 6. I did this problem last night and got it correct (and I just checked it again, the answer says 6).</p>

<p>Where's my 10 dollars?</p>

<p>i guess desi_chick should read more carefully...</p>

<p>ummm ..it wasnt from CB blue book either.n i never said it wasn't 6...so i guess no $10 for u =]</p>

<p>haha :D ........</p>

<p>lol i got 6 too... 3<em>6=18 2</em>6=12 hmm 18-12=8 somebody messed up their subtraction while doing the answer key.</p>
