Therefore, the answer is 4 500 = (E) 2000 .

10. To find either the LCM or the GCF of two numbers, always prime factorize
first.
The prime factorization of 180 = 32 5 22 .
The prime factorization of 594 = 33 11 2.
Then, find the greatest power of all the numbers there are; if one number is
one but not the other, use it (this is 33 , 5, 11, 22 ). Multiply all of these to get
5940.
For the GCF of 180 and 594, use the least power of all of the numbers that
are in both factorizations and multiply. 32 2 = 18.
5940
Thus the answer = = (C) 330 .

13. Let the two digits be a and b.

The correct score was 10a+b. Clara misinterpreted it as 10b+a. The difference
between the two is |9a 9b| which factors into |9(a b)|. Therefore, since the
difference is a multiple of 9, the only answer choice that is a multiple of 9 is
(A) 45 .

15. 3p + 34 = 90
3p + 81 = 90
3p = 9
Therefore, p = 2.
2r + 44 = 76
2r = 32
Therefore, r = 5.
53 + 6s = 1421
125 + 6s = 1421
6s = 1296
To most people, it would not be immediately evident that 64 = 1296, so we
can multiply 6s until we get the desired number: 6 6 = 36
6 36 = 216
6 216 = 1296 = 64 , so s = 4.
Therefore the answer is 2 5 4 = (B) 40

16. We multiply the first ratio by 8 on both sides, and the second ratio by 5 to
get the same number for 8th graders, in order that we can put the two ratios
together:
5 : 3 = 5(8) : 3(8) = 40 : 24
8 : 5 = 8(5) : 5(5) = 40 : 25
Therefore, the ratio of 8th graders to 7th graders to 6th graders is 40 : 25 : 24.
Since the ratio is in lowest terms, the smallest number of students participating
in the project is 40 + 25 + 24 = (E) 89 .

17. Let the first term be x. Our integers are x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3, x + 4, x + 5. We

18. We can just calculate the volume of the prism that was cut out of the original
12 10 5 box. Each interior side of the fort will be 2 feet shorter than each
side of the outside. Since the floor is 1 foot, the height will be 4 feet. So the
volume of the interior box is 10 8 4 = 320 ft3 .
The volume of the original box is 12 10 5 = 600 ft3 . Therefore, the number
of blocks contained in the fort is 600 320 = (B) 280 .

19. If Hannah did better than Cassie, there would be no way she could know
for sure that she didnt get the lowest score in the class. Therefore, Han-
nah did worse than Cassie. Similarly, if Hannah did worse than Bridget,
there is no way Bridget could have known that she didnt get the high-
est in the class. Therefore, Hannah did better than Bridget, so our order is
(D) Cassie, Hannah, Bridget .

21. Using combinations, we
get that the number of ways to get from Samanthas
house to City Park is 31 = 3, and the number of ways to get from City Park to
school is 42 = 6. Since theres one way to go through City Park (just walking

straight through), the number of different ways to go from Samanthas house

to City Park to school 3 6 = (E) 18 .

22. There are 61 vertical columns with a length of 32 toothpicks, and there are
33 horizontal rows with a length of 60 toothpicks. An effective way to verify
this is to try a small case, i.e. a 2 3 grid of toothpicks. Thus, our answer is
61 32 + 33 60 = (E) 3932 .

23. If the semicircle on AB were a full circle, the area would be 16. Therefore
the diameter of the first circle is 8. The arc of the largest semicircle would
normally have a complete diameter of 17. The Pythagorean theorem says that
the other side has length 15, so the radius is (B) 7.5

can extend IJ until it hits the extension of AB. Call this point X. The area of

triangle AXJ then is The area of rectangle BXIC is 2 1 = 2. Thus, our

desired area is 6 2 = 4. Now, the ratio of the shaded area to the combined

draw a path for the ball (see figure below), you see that in A and C it loses

So, the departure from the length of the track means that the answer is
