The length + width is 4.5 ÷ 2 = 2.25 inches. With a length of 1 inch, the width must be 2.25 − 1 = 1.25 inches and the area is 1 × 1.25 = 1.25 square inches. Note: specifying units “in” or “inches” – a length but not an area – is incorrect.

Answer Explanation

1 C 32 × 450 = 8 × 4 × 450 = 8 × 1800, not 8 × 900 as choice C suggests.

2 A On Moley’s legs there are 9985 + 9992 + 9996 + 9978 = (10000 − 15) + (10000 − 8) +(10000 − 4) + (10000 − 22) = 40000 − 49 moles total. If Moley has 50,000 total, we need to add 49 to get to 40,000, then another 10,000 to reach 50,000. In all, there must be 10,000 +49 = 10,049 moles on his tail.

3 C Total number of legs is (75 × 4) + (165 × 8) + (255 × 6) + (345 × 0) = 300 + 1320 +1530 + 0 = 3150.

4 A The three whole numbers must be 10, 11, 13. 10 × 11 × 13 = 1430.

5 D 25 = 5 × 5 and 81 = 9 × 9. So the perfect square numbers in between are 6 × 6 = 36, 7 ×7 = 49, 8 × 8 = 64. The sum of these is 36 + 49 + 64 = 149.

6 B

1 89< 1.3, so the flour will run out before the chocolate chips. How many cookies can Sanza

make? 1 cookie will require 1 89 teaspoons of flour, 2 will require 2 ;

9, and so on; continuing the

pattern shows that 7 whole cookies are possible, leaving 10 − 7 × 1 89= 10 − 7 × <

9= ;

9

teaspoons of flour and 10 − 7 × 1.3 = 0.9 chocolate chips.

7 C One mile is 8 furlongs, 8 × 10 = 80 chains, or 80 × 22 = 1760 yards (not 176 yards).

8 B Out of the numbers 17, 77, 90, and 101, only 77 is a factor of 1001. 1001 ÷ 17 = 58R14 (A), 1001 ÷ 77 = 13 (B), 1001 ÷ 90 = 11R11 (C), 1001 ÷ 101 = 9R92 (D).

9 D The gym must be exactly 3 units away from the library, like the classroom is. With (A) it’s 3 units below and 3 right, with (B) it’s 6 units below, with (C) it’s 3 units below and 1 right, and with (D) it’s 3 units left. Only (D) is exactly 3 units away from the library.

10 D The answer choices evaluate to ;9 (A),

>;<

(B), 8? (C), and

88;

(D), respectively. And ><− @

A= 8

8;.

11 C If you make both purchases, you find that 3 beets and 3 leeks cost 58 + 47 = 105 cents. This is 3 times the purchase that the problem asks for. Therefore 1 beet and 1 leek cost 105 ÷ 3 = 35 cents.

12 A Consecutive multiples of 3 are either odd & even or even & odd, so their sum must be odd.

13 B #3 is 8 chairs away (7 chairs between them) from #11, which is 8 chairs from #19, which in turn is 8 chairs from #3.

14 D Both 3 and 5 work. No unique answer can be determined without more information.

15 B Otto arrives at the store in 20 minutes, shops another 10 minutes, and returns home in 10 minutes (half the time he spent on the road before). 20 + 10 + 10 = 40 minutes after 1:00 PM is 1:40 PM.

Answer Explanation

1 B 9280 ÷ 32 = 290.

2 A 132 ÷ 7 = 18 A@≈ 19 (rounded to the nearest whole number). Or, try each choice and find that

7 × 19 = 133 comes closest to 132.

3 D 3 × 7 × 8 = 21 × 8 = 168.

4 A 2400 = 20 × 40 × 3. None of the other products yields 2400.

5 D The 1st was a Friday, so the 8th was as well, and the 7th must have been the first Thursday. February has 28 or 29 days, so the Thursdays were the 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th. Add these day numbers: 7 + 14 + 21 + 28 = 70.

6 A Try each choice. In 8 years (A), Frances will be 24 + 8 = 32 and Sam will be 8 + 8 = 16, making Frances’s age twice Sam’s.

7 C 153 ÷ 3 = 51, so we know the middle number is 51. In fact the numbers are 50, 51, 52. (Check: 50 + 51 + 52 = 153. ✓) Now find the product: 50 × 51 × 52 = 2600 × 51 = 132600.

8 B A rhombus can be a rectangle (if it’s a square), so B is false. Regarding the other choices: (A) squares are rhombuses because they have 4 congruent sides; (C) parallelograms are rectangles if their adjacent sides are perpendicular; (D) a trapezoid can have 3 congruent sides as long as 2 of those 3 are the non-parallel pair of sides.

9 C 999,999 ÷ 7 = 142,857. Multiply the digits: 1 × 4 × 2 × 8 × 5 × 7 = 8 × 40 × 7 = 2240.

10 A We’re only looking at the ones digit, so this is like multiplying 12 2’s together. 2 × 2 =4, 4 × 2 = 8, 8 × 2 = 16, 16 × 2 = 32, 32 × 2 = 64, 64 × 2 = 128, and so on. The ones digit will repeat in a pattern: 2, 4, 8, 6, 2, 4, 8, 6, …. The 12th item in this sequence is 6.

11 C Shonda’s result is (1 + 2) × (3 + 4) × (5 + 6) = 3 × 7 × 11 = 231. Pat’s result is 1 + 2 × 3 +4 × 5 + 6 = 1 + 6 + 20 + 6 = 33. [Note order of operations: multiplication before addition.] Shonda’s result is greater than Pat’s, so (A) and (D) don’t apply. The difference between the results is not 160. And indeed, 231 = 7 × 33.

12 D 3.8 × 3.8 = 14.44 (A); 4.2 × 4.2 = 17.64 (B); 5.6 × 5.6 = 31.36 (C); and 6.2 × 6.2 = 38.44 (D) Only (D) fits the WH.EE pattern (W = 3,H = 8, E = 4). Note: (D) doesn’t work because we need H ≠ E.

13 B By dividing, we find that 240 (A) is not a multiple of 14 [240 ÷ 14 = 17R2], and 266 (C) and 280 (D) are not multiples of 6 [266 ÷ 6 = 44R2, 280 ÷ 6 = 46R4].

14 B First step: 4 slices are cut in half (to make 8) and 4 are left intact: 8 + 4 = 12. Second step: 6

slices are cut in half (to make 12) and 6 are left intact: 12 + 6 = 18. Shortcut: 4 × 9;× 9;= 18.

15 D The resulting paper will be the original square with a diagonal square inside, centered and tilted at 45°. This is symmetrical horizontally, vertically, and along both diagonals.

Answer Explanation

1 4096

Each box is the sum of two other boxes: The one to the left, and the one diagonally below-left. Fill in the rows from bottom to top. The bottom row will have 0; next row up will have 0, 0; then 0, 0, 0; then 24, 24, 24, 24; then 60, 84, 108, 132, 156; then 50, 110, 194, 302, 434, 590; then 15, 65, 175, 369, 671, 1105, 1695; and finally the top row will have 1, 16, 81, 256, 625, 1296, 2401, 4096. [Note that the pattern in the top row is 1<, 2<, 3<, …. For box A, 8< = 4096.]

[students]

One approach is to make a table: Megabasketball? Yes No

Microglee? Yes 12 65 − 12 = 53 No 70 − 12 = 58 ?

All 4 boxes must add up to the total of 130 students at the school. Thus, the missing number is ?= 130 − 12 − 53 − 58 = 7. [This problem can also be solved with a Venn diagram.]

5 1368 [m |

meters]

When Imran has driven 19 m, Ameena has covered 24 m and is 24 − 19 = 5 m ahead. When Imran has driven 38 m, Ameena has covered 48 m and is 48 − 38 = 10 m ahead. For every 19 m Imran covers, Ameena’s lead grows 5 m. When Ameena laps Imran, her lead is 360 m, which is 72 × 5; so Imran has covered 72 × 19 = 1368 m.

[people | members]

Before Fluffles unfriended Gooeygoo, there were 45 friendships. How many network members would be needed for 45 friendships? If there were only 2 members, there would be 1 friendship between them. Every additional member added needs to befriend all the members already there, so with 3 members there are 1 + 2 = 3 friendships, with 4 members there are 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 friendships, and so on. Continuing the pattern, we find that 10 members would have 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45 friendships, which is the correct amount.

Bongo Cat must go east exactly 3 times and south exactly 3 times. List the possibilities for the first 2 moves; then for each of those, count up how many ways to perform the final 4 moves. E represents one eastward segment and S represents one southward segment.

If the first 2 moves are …

… the final 4 moves can be … … so # of possibilities

[m | meters]

The length + width of the pen will be 42 ÷ 2 = 21 meters. So in meters, the pen could be 1 x 20 (for an area of 20 sq m), 2 x 19 (38 sq m), 3 x 18 (54 sq m), 4 x 17 (68 sq m), 5 x 16 (80 sq m), 6 x 15 (90 sq m), 7 x 14 (98 sq m), 8 x 13 (104 sq m), 9 x 12 (108 sq m), or 10 x 11 (110 sq m). The maximum area is 110 sq m.

3 [sum =] 34 The missing numbers are 1, 6, 7, 10, 11, 16. The top row sum is 33 plus the top-right box; the bottom row sum is 18 plus the bottom-left box. To make them equal, we must put the 1 at top-right and 16 at bottom-left. The sum of the remaining numbers is 6 +7 + 10 + 11 = 34.

On April 1st, the baby shark rises from 200 m deep to 150 m, then sinks to 180 m. On April 2nd, it rises to 130 m and sinks to 160 m. On successive nights, it sinks to 140 m (April 3rd), 120 m (4th), 100 m (5th), 80 m (6th), 60 m (7th). On the 8th, the baby shark rises to 10 m and sinks to 40 m. That’s less than 50 m deep, so on the 9th, the baby shark rises to the surface.

After Sammi gave out 8< of the cupcake to each friend, and before her second round of

friends combined had 8; of the cupcake. Thus Sammi’s 11.14 ounces represents the

other half, and 11.14 × 2 = 22.28 ounces represents the entire cupcake.

7 Thursday

In 6 hours of real time, the Martians’ clock loses 1 hour. So in one day (24 hours of real time) it loses 4 hours. In exactly 3 days it loses 12 hours and shows the correct 12-hour time again. And 3 days after Monday is a Thursday. Or: The clock will show the correct time once it has lost 12 hours, or 720 minutes. This happens after 720 ÷ 10 = 72 hours, which is 72 ÷ 24 = 3 days after Monday, which is Thursday.
