  1. ACT QUESTION OF THE DAY Part 2

  2. 1. A house is 45 feet wide and divided into two rooms. If one room is twice as wide as the other, how wide is the smaller room? • A. 10 feet • B. 15 feet • C. 20 feet • D. 30 feet • E. 35 feet

  3. 2. Abe averages 3 miles per hour running and Beatriz averages 4 miles per hour running. How much further can Beatriz go in ½ hour than Abe can? • A. 2 miles • B. 1 mile • C. ½ mile • D. ¼ mile • E. 1/8 mile

  4. 3. The 5 consecutive integers below add up to 190. What is the value of x?x - 2x - 1x x + 1x + 2 • A. 38 • B. 37 • C. 36 • D. 35 • E. 34

  5. 4. What is the least common multiplier of 5, 4x, 6y and 3xy? • A. 30xy • B. 60xy • C. 60(xy)2 • D. 72(xy)2 • E. 72xy

  6. 5. | 8-7 | - | 7-8 | = • A. -1 • B. 0 • C. 1 • D. 2 • E. 3

  7. 6. The child care center charges $11 an hour plus a daily $3 drop-off fee. How many hours of childcare did Robert pay for if he dropped his son off 3 days last week and paid $130 at the end of the week? • A. 5 • B. 7 • C. 9 • D. 11 • E. 13

  8. 7. If a = -2 and b = -4, then a2b + 2ab = • A. 0 • B. 4 • C. 16 • D. 32 • E. 40

  9. Answer Key 1. The best answer is B. If a distance of 45 feet wide is split into two portions, one twice as long as the other, we can write this mathematically as 2x + x = 45 or 3x = 45. x (the width of the smaller room) then = 15. 2. The best answer is C. If Abe goes 3 miles in one hour, he goes half of that or 1 ½ miles in one half hour. Similarly, Beatriz can go 2 miles in one half hour. The answer therefore = 2 - 1 ½ = ½ . 3. The best answer is A. x - 2 + x - 1 + x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 5x = 390. x = 38 4. The best answer is B. 30xy is not a multiple of 4x. The next smallest figure listed is 60xy which is a multiple of all the numbers given and is therefore the correct answer. 5. The best answer is B. The absolute value of 8 - 7 is 1. The absolute value of 7 - 8 is also 1. 1 - 1 = 0 6. The best answer is D. Robert paid $9 in drop-off fees. If he paid $130 total and we use x to represent the number of hours of childcare he paid for, that means that 130 = 9 + 11x. 121 = 11x. x = 11. 7. The best answer is A. -2 squared is 4. 4(-4) + 2(8) = -16 + 16 = 0
