26、十一答案解析(总分：46.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、lilist-style-type:n(总题数：15，分数：15.00)1.Evan has 4 times as many books as David and 5 times as many as Jason. If Jason has more than 40 books, what is the least number of books that Evan could have? A. 200 B. 205 C. 210 D. 220 E. 240（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D. E.解析：Test the answer c
27、hoices starting with the smallest value. If Evan had 200 books, Jason would have 40. But Jason has more than 40, so 200 is too small. Trying 205 and 210, we see that neither is a multiple of 4, so David wouldnt have a whole number of books. Finally, 220 works. (So does 240, but we shouldnt even test
28、 it since we want the least value.) *Since Jason has at least 41 books, Evan has at least 41 x 5 = 205. But Evans total must be a multiple of 4 and 5, hence of 20. The smallest multiple of 20 greater than 205 is 220.2.Judy plans to visit the National Gallery once each month in 2012 except in July an
29、d August when she plans to go three times each. A single admission costs $3.50, a pass valid for unlimited visits in any 3-month period can be purchased for $18, and an annual pass costs $60.00. What is the least amount, in dollars, that Judy can spend for her intended number of visits? （分数：1.00）填空项
30、 1:_ （正确答案：49.50）解析：Judy intends to go to the Gallery 16 times during the year. Buying a single admission each time would cost 16 $3.50 = $56, which is less than the annual pass. If she bought a 3-month pass for June, July, and August, she would pay $18 plus $31.50 for 9 single admissions (9 $3.50),
31、 for a total expense of $49.50, which is the least expensive option.3.Alison is now three times as old as Jeremy, but 5 years ago, she was 5 times as old as he was. How old is Alison now? A. 10 B. 12 C. 24 D. 30 E. 36（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D. E.解析：Use TACTIC 1: backsolve starting with C. If Alison is now 24
32、, Jeremy is 8, and 5 years ago, they would have been 19 and 3, which is more than 5 times as much. Eliminate A, B, and C, and try a bigger value. If Alison is now 30, Jeremy is 10, and 5 years ago, they would have been 25 and 5. Thats it; 25 is 5 times 5. *If Jeremy is now x, Alison is 3x, and 5 yea
33、rs ago they were x- 5 and 3x- 5, respectively. Now, solve: 3x- 5 = 5(x- 5) * 3x- 5 = 5x- 25* 2x=20*x= 10*3x=30.4.What is the largest prime factor of 255? A. 5 B. 15 C. 17 D. 51 E. 255（分数：1.00）A.B.C. D.E.解析：Test the choices starting with C: 255 is divisible by 17 (255 = 17 15), so this is a possible
34、answer. Does 255 have a larger prime factor? Neither Choice D nor E is prime, so the answer must be Choice C.5.If c is the product of a and b, which of the following is the quotient of a and b? （分数：1.00）A.B. C.D.E.解析：Use TACTIC 2. Pick simple values for a, b, and c. Let a = 3, b = 2, and c = 6. Then
35、 a - b = 3/2. Without these values of a, b, and c, only B is equal to 3/2. *6.If w widgets cost c cents, how many widgets can you get for d dollars? （分数：1.00）A. B.C.D.E.解析：Use TACTIC 2. If 2 widgets cost 10 cents, then widgets cost 5 cents each, and for 3 dollars, you can get 60. Which of the choice
36、s equals 60 when w = 2, c= 10, and d = 3? Only A. *7.If 120% of a is equal to 80% of b, which of the following is equal to a + b? A. 1.5a B. 2a C. 2.5a D. 3a E. 5a（分数：1.00）A.B.C. D.E.解析：Since 120% of 80 = 80% of 120, let a = 80 and b = 120. Then a + b = 200, and 200 + 80 = 2.5.8.In the figure below,
37、 WXYZ is a square whose sides are 12. AB, CD, EF, and GH are each 8, and are the diameters of the four semicircles. What is the area of the shaded region?（分数：1.00）A.B.C. D.E.解析：If you dont know how to solve this, you must use TACTIC 4 and guess after eliminating the absurd choices. Which choices are
38、 absurd? Certainly, A and B, both of which are negative. Also, since Choice D is about 94, which is much more than half the area of the square, it is much too big. Guess between Choice C (about 43) and Choice E (about 50). If you remember that the way to find shaded areas is to subtract, guess C.*Th
39、e area of the square is 122 = 144. The area of each semicircle is 8, one-half the area of a circle of radius 4. So together the areas of the semicircles is 32.9.If x and y are integers such that x3 = y2, which of the following could not be the value of y?Indicate all such values. A. -1 B. 1 C. 8 D.
40、12 E. 16 F. 27（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D. E. F.解析：Test each choice until you find all the correct answers.(A) Could y = -1? Is there an integer x such that x3 = (-1)2 = 1? Yes, x = 1.(B) Similarly, if y = 1, x = 1.(C) Could y = 8? Is there an integer x such that x3 = (8)2 = 64? Yes, x = 4.(D) Could y = 12? Is
41、 there an integer such that x3 = 122 = 144? No, 53 = 125, which is too small, and 63 = 216, which is too big.(E) Could y = 16? Is there an integer x such that x3 = 162 = 256? No, 63 = 216, which is too small; and 73 = 343, which is too big.(F) Could y = 27? Is there an integer x such that x3 = 272 =
42、 729? Yes, 93 = 729. The answer is D and E.10.What is a divided by a% of a? （分数：1.00）A.B. C.D.E.解析：* *Use TACTICS 2 and 3: replace a by a number, and use 100 since the problem involves percents. 100 + (100% of 100) = 100 + 100 = 1. Test each choice; which ones equal 1 when a = 100. Both A and B: *.
43、Eliminate Choices C, D, and E, and test A and B with another value for a. 50 + (50% of 50) = 50 + (25) = 2. Now, only B works*11.If an object is moving at a speed of 36 kilometers per hour, how many meters does it travel in one second? （分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：10）解析：Set up a ratio: * *Use TACTIC 1: Te
44、st choices starting with C: 100 meters/second = 6000 meters/minute = 360,000 meters/hour = 360 kilometers/hour. Not only is that too big, it is too big by a factor of 10. The answer is 10.12.On a certain French-American committee, of the members are men, and of the men are Americans. If of the commi
45、ttee members are French, what fraction of the members are American women? （分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：*）解析：Use TACTIC 3. The LCM of all the denominators is 120, so assume that the committee has 120 members. Then there are* men and 40 women. Of the 80 men 30* are American. Since there are 72* French membe
46、rs, there are 120 - 72 = 48 Americans, of whom 30 are men, so the other 18 are women. Finally, the fraction of American women is* This is illustrated in the Venn diagram below. *13.For what value of x is 82x-4 = 16x? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 6 E. 8（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.
