## Best AFOQT Math Prep Resource for 2020

1- A
probability $$=\frac{desired \space outcomes}{possible \space outcomes}=\frac{4}{4+3+7+10}=\frac{4}{24}=\frac{1}{6}$$

2- D
$$\frac{180}{20}=9$$

3- D
Volume of a box = length $$\times$$ width $$\times$$ height = 4 $$\times$$ 5 $$\times$$ 6 = 120

4- D
Simplify.
$$6x^2 y^3 (2x^2 y)^3= 6x^2 y^3 (8x^6 y^3 ) = 48x^8 y^6$$

5- D
average $$=\frac{sum}{total}=\frac{240}{60}=4$$

6- D
Write a proportion and solve.
$$\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{1}=\frac{50}{x}$$
$$x=\frac{50}{\frac{1}{5}}= 250$$

7- B
Write the numbers in order:
2, 19, 27, 28, 35, 44, 67
Median is the number in the middle. So, the median is 28

8- C
If $$a = 3$$ then:
$$b = \frac{a^2}{3}+ 3 ⇒ b =\frac{3^2}{3}+ 3 = 3 + 3 = 6$$

9- D
Isolate and solve for $$x$$.
$$\frac{2}{3} x+\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{3} {\Rightarrow} \frac{2}{3} x= \frac{1}{3} -\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6} {\Rightarrow} \frac{2}{3} x= \frac{1}{6}$$
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient of $$x$$.
$$(\frac{3}{2}) \frac{2}{3} x= \frac{1}{6} (\frac{3}{2}) {\Rightarrow} x= \frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$$

10- D
Use Pythagorean Theorem: $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$
$$(4)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2 ⇒ 16 + 25 = 41 = C^2$$
$$C = \sqrt{41} = 6.403$$
