Answers & Explanations GMAT Practice Test Sample
Questions 1-10
6=1. E: 112=121, not 144.
22. C: The descending sequence is geometric, with a common
ratio of 0.5.
3. C: The conversion formula is: C=(F-32).5/9, where C
represents degrees Celsius and F represents degrees Fahrenheit. Substituting
100.7 for F gives: C=(100.7-32).5/9, which simplifies to C=68.7.5/9. Thus, the
temperature, in Celsius, is approximately 38.2°.
4. D: The problem may be modeled by the equation, 0.25x =
8.75. Solving for x gives x = 35. Since he thought he had 2 fewer quarters, he
originally thought he had 33 quarters in his pocket.
5. C: The problem may be modeled by the following system of
equations:(a=o+12@a+o=36). Substituting the expression for a, into the second
equation, gives: o + 12 + o = 36. Solving for o gives o = 12. Thus, there are
12 oranges. Since there are 36 apples and oranges in all, there must be 24
apples.
6. C: The sequence, 9, 11, 13, 15, shows all odd integers,
which are consecutive. The sum of 11 and 13 is indeed 24.
7. B: The sequence is a geometric sequence, with a common
ratio of 2. Two times 48 is 96, thus the next number in the sequence is 96.
8. B: The number, 1, is rational, whole, and natural. A
rational number is a number that terminates or repeats. A whole number is
represented by the sequence, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …, while a natural number is a
subset of the whole numbers, and is represented by the sequence, 1, 2, 3, 4,...
9. E: The sequence is a geometric sequence, with a common
ratio of 1/2. Multiplication of 1/8 by 1/2 gives 1/16, which is the next number
in the sequence.
10. E: The amount of sugar, needed in a cookie recipe, is
best measured by the unit of cups, which is an appropriate measure of capacity.
