Answer-New AND Free SAT English practice test- 217-225
217. C: The volume of the tin is 864 in³. The volume of each piece of fudge is 27 in³. Thus, 32 pieces will fit inside the tin.
218. B: The following system of equations may be used to solve the problem: (s=2b@s-b=15). Substituting 2b for s, in the second equation, gives: 2b - b = 15, where b = 15. The younger brother is 15 years old.
219. C: Multiplying the numerator and denominator of the given fraction by 5 gives the fraction, 25/30, which is equivalent.
220. B: Converting feet to yards, the dimensions may be rewritten as 4 yards by 6 2/3 yards. Thus, the area of the floor is 26 2/3 yd². Multiplication of this area by the cost per square yard gives the expression, 26 2/3?8.91, which equals 237.6. Thus, the cost is $237.60.
221. C: The following equation may be solved for x: 6000=1/2 x. Solving for x gives x = 12,000. Thus, the amount of prize money distributed equaled $12,000.
222. D: The distance may be determined by writing and solving the following equation for c: 502+1202=c2. c = 130, thus the distance is 130 feet.
223. D: The average rate for the round trip is the total distance traveled divided by the total travel time. Distance traveled=2x. Travel time=x/10+x/8=4x/40+5x/40=9x/40. Average Rate=2x÷9x/40=(2x×40)/9x=80/9 = approximately 8.9 mph.
224. E: The length is equal to 216 inches. The width is equal to 36 inches. So, the length may be covered by 18 12-inch stones, while the width may be covered by 3 12-inch stones. A total of 42 stones is needed for one layer, and 84 stones need for two layers. Multiplication of 84 by $2.32 gives 194.88. Thus, the total cost is $194.88.
225. E: The equation may be solved for x by first subtracting 6x from both sides of the equation. Doing so gives -3x = -15, where x = 5. Substituting 5 for x into the second expression gives 5 + 8, which equals 13.
