1. On a recent trip, Cindy drove her car 290 miles, rounded to the nearest 10 miles, and used 12 gallons of gasoline, rounded to the nearest gallon. The actual number of miles per gallon that Cindy's car got on this trip must have been between
(A) 290 / 12.5 and 290 / 11.5 (B) 295 / 12 and 285 / 11.5
(C) 285 /12 and 295 /12 (D) 285 / 12.5 and 295 / 11.5
(E) 295 / 12.5 and 285 / 11.5 答案是D, 我有二个不明白的,一是,rounded to the nearest 是什么意思? 二就是这题如何的求解?
2. In an electric circuit, two resistors with resistances x and y are connected in parallel. In this case, if r is the combined resistance of these two resistors, then the reciprocal of r is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of x and y. What is r in terms of x and y ?
(A) xy (B) x + y (C) 1 / x+y (D) xy / x+y (E) x+y / xy
答案是D,在一个电路里,电阻X、Y是平行的,r 连接这两个电阻,r 的倒数是x+y, 那么这题想表达什么意思, 我根据答案,知道是并联,可题目告诉我并联了吗,为什么又不可能是串联呢?
3. In a certain game, a large container is filled with red, yellow, green, and blue beads worth, respectively, 7, 5, 3, and 2 points each. A number of beads are then removed from the container. If the product of the point values of the removed beads is 147,000, how many red beads were removed?
(A) 5 (B) 4 (C) 3 (D) 2 (E) 0 答案是D, 请问这题怎么做啊,我是设总数为 x 个球,那 7x*5x*3x*2x = 147000, 下面我就不知道该怎么做了,好象我列的方程也有问题。
4. Seed mixture X is 40 percent ryegrass and 60 percent bluegrass by weight; seed mixture Y is 25 percent ryegrass and 75 percent fescue. If a mixture of X and Y contains 30 percent ryegrass, what percent of the weight of this mixture is X ?
(A) 10% (B) 100 / 3 % (C) 40% (D) 50% (E) 200 / 3 %
答案是B, 我列的方程是40% r + 60%b = X, 25% r + 75% b = Y, X + Y = 30% r
我觉得肯定不对,那该怎么列呢?
5. If the perimeter of square region S and the perimeter of circular region C are equal, then the ratio of the area of S to the area of C is closest to
(A) 3 / 2 (B) 4 / 3 (C) 3 / 4 (D) 2 / 3 (E) 1 / 2 答案是C
可我怎么也求不出来, 既然正方形(设边为a )和圆形(设半径为 r )的周长相等,那么就是 4a = 2 派 r , 其中有个(派)在里面,这可如何是好,其值取多少? 请高人指点
在这儿先谢谢大家了,本人数学不好,望大家能给我好好的讲讲!!
