Your answers are highlighted below.

Question 1

Which of the following is not possible?

A	An equiangular triangle that is not equilateral. Hint: The AAA property of triangles states that all triangles with corresponding angles congruent are similar. Thus all triangles with three equal angles are similar, and are equilateral.
B	An equiangular quadrilateral that is not equilateral. Hint: A rectangle is equiangular (all angles the same measure), but if it's not a square, it's not equilateral (all sides the same length).
C	An equilateral quadrilateral that is not equiangular. Hint: This rhombus has equal sides, but it doesn't have equal angles:
D	An equiangular hexagon that is not equilateral. Hint: This hexagon has equal angles, but it doesn't have equal sides:

Question 1 Explanation:

Topic: Classify and analyze polygons using attributes of sides and angles (Objective 0024).

Question 2

The picture below shows identical circles drawn on a piece of paper. The rectangle represents an index card that is blocking your view of $ \dfrac{3}{5}$ of the circles on the paper. How many circles are covered by the rectangle?

$q22 fraction dots covered$

A	4 Hint: The card blocks more than half of the circles, so this number is too small.
B	5 Hint: The card blocks more than half of the circles, so this number is too small.
C	8 Hint: The card blocks more than half of the circles, so this number is too small.
D	12 Hint: 2/5 of the circles or 8 circles are showing. Thus 4 circles represent 1/5 of the circles, and $4 \times 5=20$ circles represent 5/5 or all the circles. Thus 12 circles are hidden.

Question 2 Explanation:

Topic: Models of Fractions (Objective 0017)

Question 3

Which of the following is an irrational number?

A	$ \large \sqrt[3]{8}$ Hint: This answer is the cube root of 8. Since 2 x 2 x 2 =8, this is equal to 2, which is rational because 2 = 2/1.
B	$ \large \sqrt{8}$ Hint: It is not trivial to prove that this is irrational, but you can get this answer by eliminating the other choices.
C	$ \large \dfrac{1}{8}$ Hint: 1/8 is the RATIO of two integers, so it is rational.
D	$ \large -8$ Hint: Negative integers are also rational, -8 = -8/1, a ratio of integers.

Question 3 Explanation:

Topic: Identifying rational and irrational numbers (Objective 0016).

Question 4

Use the table below to answer the question that follows:

Gordon wants to buy three pounds of nuts. Each of the stores above ordinarily sells the nuts for $4.99 a pound, but is offering a discount this week. At which store can he buy the nuts for the least amount of money?

A	Store A Hint: This would save about $2.50. You can quickly see that D saves more.
B	Store B Hint: This saves 15% and C saves 25%.
C	Store C
D	Store D Hint: This is about 20% off, which is less of a discount than C.

Question 4 Explanation:

Topic: Understand the meanings and models of integers, fractions, decimals,percents, and mixed numbers and apply them to the solution of word problems (Objective 0017).

Question 5

Question 5 Explanation:

Topic: Using Number Lines (Objective 0017)

Question 6

The "houses" below are made of toothpicks and gum drops.

How many toothpicks are there in a row of 53 houses?

A	212 Hint: Can the number of toothpicks be even?
B	213 Hint: One way to see this is that every new "house" adds 4 toothpicks to the leftmost vertical toothpick -- so the total number is 1 plus 4 times the number of "houses." There are many other ways to look at the problem too.
C	217 Hint: Try your strategy with a smaller number of "houses" so you can count and find your mistake.
D	265 Hint: Remember that the "houses" overlap some walls.

Question 6 Explanation:

Topic: Recognize and extend patterns using a variety of representations (e.g., verbal, numeric, pictorial, algebraic). (Objective 0021).

Question 7

The letters A, B, and C represent digits (possibly equal) in the twelve digit number x=111,111,111,ABC. For which values of A, B, and C is x divisible by 40?

A	$ \large A = 3, B = 2, C=0$ Hint: Note that it doesn't matter what the first 9 digits are, since 1000 is divisible by 40, so DEF,GHI,JKL,000 is divisible by 40 - we need to check the last 3.
B	$ \large A = 0, B = 0, C=4$ Hint: Not divisible by 10, since it doesn't end in 0.
C	$ \large A = 4, B = 2, C=0$ Hint: Divisible by 10 and by 4, but not by 40, as it's not divisible by 8. Look at 40 as the product of powers of primes -- 8 x 5, and check each. To check 8, either check whether 420 is divisible by 8, or take ones place + twice tens place + 4 * hundreds place = 18, which is not divisible by 8.
D	$ \large A =1, B=0, C=0$ Hint: Divisible by 10 and by 4, but not by 40, as it's not divisible by 8. Look at 40 as the product of powers of primes -- 8 x 5, and check each. To check 8, either check whether 100 is divisible by 8, or take ones place + twice tens place + 4 * hundreds place = 4, which is not divisible by 8.

Question 7 Explanation:

Topic: Understand divisibility rules and why they work (Objective 018).

Question 8

Here is a number trick:

1) Pick a whole number

2) Double your number.

3) Add 20 to the above result.

4) Multiply the above by 5

5) Subtract 100

6) Divide by 10

The result is always the number that you started with! Suppose you start by picking N. Which of the equations below best demonstrates that the result after Step 6 is also N?

A	$ \large N2+205-100\div 10=N$ Hint: Use parentheses or else order of operations is off.
B	$ \large \left( \left( 2N+20 \right)5-100 \right)\div 10=N$
C	$ \large \left( N+N+20 \right)*5-100\div 10=N$ Hint: With this answer you would subtract 10, instead of subtracting 100 and then dividing by 10.
D	$ \large \left( \left( \left( N\div 10 \right)-100 \right)5+20 \right)2=N$ Hint: This answer is quite backwards.

Question 8 Explanation:

Topic: Recognize and apply the concepts of variable, function, equality, and equation to express relationships algebraically (Objective 0020).

Question 9

Aya and Kendra want to estimate the height of a tree. On a sunny day, Aya measures Kendra's shadow as 3 meters long, and Kendra measures the tree's shadow as 15 meters long. Kendra is 1.5 meters tall. How tall is the tree?

A	7.5 meters Hint: Here is a picture, note that the large and small right triangles are similar: One way to do the problem is to note that there is a dilation (scale) factor of 5 on the shadows, so there must be that factor on the heights too. Another way is to note that the shadows are twice as long as the heights.
B	22.5 meters Hint: Draw a picture.
C	30 meters Hint: Draw a picture.
D	45 meters Hint: Draw a picture.

Question 10

Use the graph below to answer the question that follows.

Which of the following is a correct equation for the graph of the line depicted above?

A	$ \large y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+2$ Hint: The slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is 2. You can also try just plugging in points. For example, this is the only choice that gives y=1 when x=2.
B	$ \large 4x=2y$ Hint: This line goes through (0,0); the graph above does not.
C	$ \large y=x+2$ Hint: The line pictured has negative slope.
D	$ \large y=-x+2$ Hint: Try plugging x=4 into this equation and see if that point is on the graph above.

Question 10 Explanation:

Topic: Find a linear equation that represents a graph (Objective 0022).

Question 11

In each expression below N represents a negative integer. Which expression could have a negative value?

A	$ \large {{N}^{2}}$ Hint: Squaring always gives a non-negative value.
B	$ \large 6-N$ Hint: A story problem for this expression is, if it was 6 degrees out at noon and N degrees out at sunrise, by how many degrees did the temperature rise by noon? Since N is negative, the answer to this question has to be positive, and more than 6.
C	$ \large -N$ Hint: If N is negative, then -N is positive
D	$ \large 6+N$ Hint: For example, if $N=-10$, then $6+N = -4$

A	$ \large \dfrac{4}{6}$ Hint: $ 0.\bar{6}=\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{4}{6}$
B	$ \large \dfrac{3}{5}$ Hint: This is equal to 0.6, without the repeating decimal. Answer is equivalent to choice c, which is another way to tell that it's wrong.
C	$ \large \dfrac{6}{10}$ Hint: This is equal to 0.6, without the repeating decimal. Answer is equivalent to choice b, which is another way to tell that it's wrong.
D	$ \large \dfrac{1}{6}$ Hint: This is less than a half, and $ 0.\bar{6}$ is greater than a half.

Question 14

Which of the following inequalities describes all values of x with $\large \dfrac{x}{2}\le \dfrac{x}{3}$?

A	$ \large x < 0$ Hint: If x =0, then x/2 = x/3, so this answer can't be correct.
B	$ \large x \le 0$
C	$ \large x > 0$ Hint: If x =0, then x/2 = x/3, so this answer can't be correct.

Question 15

Elena is going to use a calculator to check whether or not 267 is prime. She will pick certain divisors, and then find 267 divided by each, and see if she gets a whole number. If she never gets a whole number, then she's found a prime. Which numbers does Elena NEED to check before she can stop checking and be sure she has a prime?

A	All natural numbers from 2 to 266. Hint: She only needs to check primes -- checking the prime factors of any composite is enough to look for divisors. As a test taking strategy, the other three choices involve primes, so worth thinking about.
B	All primes from 2 to 266 . Hint: Remember, factors come in pairs (except for square root factors), so she would first find the smaller of the pair and wouldn't need to check the larger.
C	All primes from 2 to 133 . Hint: She doesn't need to check this high. Factors come in pairs, and something over 100 is going to be paired with something less than 3, so she will find that earlier.
D	All primes from $ \large 2$ to $ \large \sqrt{267}$. Hint: $\sqrt{267} \times \sqrt{267}=267$. Any other pair of factors will have one factor less than $ \sqrt{267}$ and one greater, so she only needs to check up to $ \sqrt{267}$.

Question 15 Explanation:

Topic: Identify prime and composite numbers (Objective 0018).

Question 16

A family has four children. What is the probability that two children are girls and two are boys? Assume the the probability of having a boy (or a girl) is 50%.

A	$ \large \dfrac{1}{2}$ Hint: How many different configurations are there from oldest to youngest, e.g. BGGG? How many of them have 2 boys and 2 girls?
B	$ \large \dfrac{1}{4}$ Hint: How many different configurations are there from oldest to youngest, e.g. BGGG? How many of them have 2 boys and 2 girls?
C	$ \large \dfrac{1}{5}$ Hint: Some configurations are more probable than others -- i.e. it's more likely to have two boys and two girls than all boys. Be sure you are weighting properly.
D	$ \large \dfrac{3}{8}$ Hint: There are two possibilities for each child, so there are $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 =16$ different configurations, e.g. from oldest to youngest BBBG, BGGB, GBBB, etc. Of these configurations, there are 6 with two boys and two girls (this is the combination $_{4}C_{2}$ or "4 choose 2"): BBGG, BGBG, BGGB, GGBB, GBGB, and GBBG. Thus the probability is 6/16=3/8.

Question 16 Explanation:

Topic: Apply knowledge of combinations and permutations to the computation of probabilities (Objective 0026).

Question 18

The chart below gives percentiles for the number of sit-ups that boys of various ages can do in 60 seconds (source , June 24, 2011)

Which of the following statements can be inferred from the above chart?

A	95% of 12 year old boys can do 56 sit-ups in 60 seconds. Hint: The 95th percentile means that 95% of scores are less than or equal to 56, and 5% are greater than or equal to 56.
B	At most 25% of 7 year old boys can do 19 or more sit-ups in 60 seconds. Hint: The 25th percentile means that 25% of scores are less than or equal to 19, and 75% are greater than or equal to 19.
C	Half of all 13 year old boys can do less than 41 sit-ups in 60 seconds and half can do more than 41 sit-ups in 60 seconds. Hint: Close, but not quite. There's no accounting for boys who can do exactly 41 sit ups. Look at these data: 10, 20, 41, 41, 41, 41, 50, 60, 90. The median is 41, but more than half can do 41 or more.
D	At least 75% of 16 year old boys can only do 51 or fewer sit-ups in 60 seconds. Hint: The "at least" is necessary due to duplicates. Suppose the data were 10, 20, 51, 51. The 75th percentile is 51, but 100% of the boys can only do 51 or fewer situps.

Topic: Analyze and interpret various graphic and nongraphic data representations (e.g., frequency distributions, percentiles) (Objective 0025).

Question 19

A map has a scale of 3 inches = 100 miles. Cities A and B are 753 miles apart. Let d be the distance between the two cities on the map. Which of the following is not correct?

A	$ \large \dfrac{3}{100}=\dfrac{d}{753}$ Hint: Units on both side are inches/mile, and both numerators and denominators correspond -- this one is correct.
B	$ \large \dfrac{3}{100}=\dfrac{753}{d}$ Hint: Unit on the left is inches per mile, and on the right is miles per inch. The proportion is set up incorrectly (which is what we wanted). Another strategy is to notice that one of A or B has to be the answer because they cannot both be correct proportions. Then check that cross multiplying on A gives part D, so B is the one that is different from the other 3.
C	$ \large \dfrac{3}{d}=\dfrac{100}{753}$ Hint: Unitless on each side, as inches cancel on the left and miles on the right. Numerators correspond to the map, and denominators to the real life distances -- this one is correct.
D	$ \large 100d=3\cdot 753$ Hint: This is equivalent to part A.

Question 19 Explanation:

Topic: Analyze the relationships among proportions, constant rates, and linear functions (Objective 0022).

Question 20

A class is using base-ten block to represent numbers. A large cube represents 1000, a flat represents 100, a rod represents 10, and a little cube represents 1. Which of these is not a correct representation for 2,347?

A	23 flats, 4 rods, 7 little cubes Hint: Be sure you read the question carefully: 2300+40+7=2347
B	2 large cubes, 3 flats, 47 rods Hint: 2000+300+470 $ \neq$ 2347
C	2 large cubes, 34 rods, 7 little cubes Hint: Be sure you read the question carefully: 2000+340+7=2347
D	2 large cubes, 3 flats, 4 rods, 7 little cubes Hint: Be sure you read the question carefully: 2000+300+40+7=2347
