GRE（ QUANTITATIVE）综合模拟试卷 20答案与解析 1 【正确答案】 11 2 【正确答案】 94 【试题解析】 Let x represent the score on Ellens next exam. This initial step of assigning a variable to the quantity th

18、at is sought is an important beginning to solving the problem. Then in terms of x, the average of the 4 exams is which is supposed to equal 85. Now simplify the expression and set it equal to 85: Solving the resulting linear equation for x, you get246 + x = 340 x = 94Therefore, Ellen will need to at

19、tain a score of 94 on the next exam. 3 【正确答案】 7.2 【试题解析】 Let x represent the number of ounces of oil to be added. Then the total number of ounces of the new mixture will be 12 + x, and the total number of ounces of vinegar in the new mixture will be(0.40)(12). Since the new mixture must be 25 percen

20、t vinegar, Therefore,(0.40)(12)=(12+ x)(0.25)4.8 = 3 + 0.25x 1.8 = 0.25x7.2 = xThus, 7.2 ounces of oil must be added to produce a new mixture that is 25 percent vinegar. 4 【正确答案】 37.8 minutes 【试题解析】 Let x be the time, in minutes, that it took Dennis to drive the course. The distance d, in miles, is

21、equal to the product of the rate r, in miles per hour, and the time t, in hours; that is,d=rtNote that since the rates are given in miles per hour, it is necessary to express the times in hours; for example, 40 minutes equals of an hour. Thus, the distance traveled by Jeff is the product of his spee

22、d and his time,(51)( )miles, and the distance traveled by Dennis is similarly represented by(54)( )miles. Since the distances are equal, Thus, it took Dennis approximately 37.8 minutes to drive the course. 5 【正确答案】 6/5 hours, or 1 hour 12 minutes 【试题解析】 Since machine A takes 3 hours to produce a bat

23、ch, machine A can produce 1/3 of the batch in 1 hour. Similarly, machine B can produce - of the batch in 1 hour. If we let x represent the number of hours it takes both machines, working simultaneously, to produce the batch, then the two machines will produce - of the job in 1 hour. When the two mac

24、hines work together, adding their individual production rates, 1/3 and 1/2, gives their combined production rate 1/x. Therefore, Thus, working together, the machines will take 6/5 hours, or 1 hour 12 minutes, to produce a batch of parts. 6 【正确答案】 13 【试题解析】 If a represents the number of apples purcha

25、sed and p represents the number of pears purchased, the information can be translated into the following system of equations. 0.15a+ 0.20p = 3.80(total cost) a+p = 21(total number of fruit) From the second equation, a = 21-p. Substituting 21-p into the first equation for a gives 0.15(21-p)+ 0.20p =

26、3.80 (0.15)(21)- 0.15p + 0.20p = 3.80 3.15-0.15p + 0.20p = 3.80 0.05p = 0.65 p=13 Thus, of the 21 pieces of fruit, 13 were pears. 7 【正确答案】 $46.40 【试题解析】 If y represents the selling price per radio, then the profit is 500(y - 30). Therefore, we set500(y-30) 8,200Solving the inequality, we get500y- 15

27、,000 8,200 500y 23,200y 46.4Thus, the selling price must be greater than $46.40 to ensure that the profit is greater than $8,200.Some applications involve computing interest earned on an investment during a specified time period. The interest can be computed as simple interest or compound interest.S

28、imple interest is based only on the initial deposit, which serves as the amount on which interest is computed, called the principal, for the entire time period. If the amount P is invested at a simple annual interest rate of r percent, then the value V of the investment at the end of t years is give

29、n by the formulaV = P(1+ )where P and V are in dollars.In the case of compound interest, interest is added to the principal at regular time intervals, such as annually, quarterly, and monthly. Each time interest is added to the principal, the interest is said to be compounded. After each compounding

30、, interest is earned on the new principal, which is the sum of the preceding principal and the interest just added. If the amount P is invested at an annual interest rate of r percent, compounded annually, then the value V of the investment at the end of t years is given by the formulaV = If the amo

31、unt P is invested at an annual interest rate of r percent, compounded n times per year, then the value V of the investment at the end of t years is given by the formulaV = 8 【正确答案】 $10,300 【试题解析】 According to the formula for simple interest, the value of the investment after 1/2 year is =$10,000(1.0

32、3)= $10,300 9 【正确答案】 $901.94 【试题解析】 According to the formula for 3.5 percent annual interest, compounded annually, the value of the investment after 3 years isP(1 + 0.035)3and we set it to be equal to $1,000P(l + 0.035)3 = $1,000To find the value of P, we divide both sides of the equation by(1 + 0.0

33、35)3.P = $901.94 Thus, an amount of approximately $901.94 should be invested. 10 【正确答案】 4.91 percent 【试题解析】 According to the formula for r percent annual interest, compounded quarterly, the value of the investment after 1 year is By setting this value greater than or equal to $21,000 and solving for

34、 r, we get We can use the fact that taking the positive fourth root of each side of an inequality preserves the direction of the inequality. This is also true for the positive square root or any other positive root. To compute the fourth root, we can use the fact that for x 0; that is, we can comput

35、e a fourth root by taking a square root twice: So the least annual interest rate is approximately 4.91 percent. 11 【正确答案】 (a)37(5-y2), or 185-37y2(b) (c)18 +(x + 4)(y), or 18 + xy + 4y 12 【正确答案】 (a)2x2 + 6x + 5 (b)14x+l (c)x + 4 (d)6x2+13x-5 13 【正确答案】 (a)49(b)0(c)-7 14 【正确答案】 (a)1(b)-1(c)2 15 【正确答案】
