GED Answers with explaination 61-65
51. D: The increase from term to term is twice the increase from the previous two terms. Thus, the increase from 19 to the missing term will be 20, or twice the increase of 10. Thus, the missing term is equal to 19 + 20, or 39.
52. C: The solution may be modeled by the expression, 0.25(2490). Thus, her budget allowed $622.50 for housing in April of 2001.
53. E: The average may be represented as (0.10(2578)+0.10(2432)+0.10(2668)+0.10(2490)+0.10(2622)+0.10(2555))/6, which simplifies as (257.80+243.20+266.80+249.00+262.20+255.50)/6, or 255.75. The average budget amount for clothing in the first six months of 2001 was $255.75.
54. A: The amount she saved may be represented by the expression, 0.25(2622) - 0.20(2622), which equals 131.10. Thus, she saved $131.10.
55. B: The problem may be modeled with the equation, 1/40+1/30+1/24=1/t. Solving for t gives t = 10. Thus, working together, they can type the same document in 10 minutes.
56. D: The fraction, 3/5, equals 0.6, which is less than 2/3.
57. C: The ratio may be written as 6/14, which reduces to 3/7.
58. B: The amount of money she made may be represented by the expression, 90 + 0.12x, where x represents the amount of sales. Substituting 3000 for x gives 90 + 0.12(3000), which equals 450. So, she made $450 this week.
59. A: First, the perimeter measurement may be converted to feet. Multiplying 25 1/3 yards by 3 gives an equivalent measurement of 76 feet. Thus, the following equation may be written: 76 = 2(22) + 2w, which simplifies to 76 = 44 + 2w, where w = 16. The width of the house is 16 ft.
60. A: The problem may be modeled with the expression, 15,000 + 0.15(15,000), which equals 17,250. Thus, he sold the boat for $17,250.
61. A: 3/2000=0.0015, which is equivalent to 0.15%.
62. D: Moving the decimal point 4 places to the right gives 63,340.
63. C: Solving the given equation for x gives x = -1. Substitution of -1 for x, in the second equation, gives -1 + 1 = 0.
64. A: The interior angle measures of a triangle sum to 180°. Thus, the measure of the third angle is equal to the difference of 180° and 120°, or 60°.
65. B: Cups is an appropriate measure of capacity for sugar.
