The weight of 12.2 meters of this rope is: 12.2 × 600 g = 7320 g
1kg = 1000 g, therefore, 7320 g ÷ 1000 = 7.32 kg

2- The correct answer is 600.
The ratio of boys to girls is 3 : 7. Therefore, there are 3 boys out of 10 students. To find the answer, first divide the number of boys by 3, then multiply the result by 10.
180 ÷ 3 = 60 ⇒ 60 × 10 = 600

3- Choice C is correct.
the population is increased by $$15\%$$ and $$20\%$$. $$15\%$$ increase changes the population to $$115\%$$ of original population.
For the second increase, multiply the result by $$120\%$$.
$$(1.15) × (1.20) = 1.38 = 138\%$$
38 percent of the population is increased after two years.

4- Choice A is correct.
Let $$x$$ be the number of new shoes the team can purchase. Therefore, the team can purchase 240 $$x$$.
The team had $40,000 and spent$22,000. Now the team can spend on new shoes $18,000 at most. Now, write the inequality: $$120x+22.000 ≤40.000$$ 5- Choice B is correct. A linear equation is a relationship between two variables, $$x$$ and $$y$$, that can be put in the form $$y = mx + b$$. A non-proportional linear relationship takes on the form $$y = mx + b$$, where b ≠ 0 and its graph is a line that does not cross through the origin. 6- Choice C is correct The perimeter of the rectangle is: $$2x+2y=30→x+y=15→x=15-y$$ The area of the rectangle is: $$x×y=50→(15-y)(y)=50→y^2-15y+50=0$$ Solve the quadratic equation by factoring method. $$(y-5)(y-10)=0→y=5$$ (Unacceptable, because y must be greater than 5) or $$y=10$$ If $$y=10 →x×y=50→x×10=50→x=5$$ 7- The correct answer is 10. Use the information provided in the question to draw the shape. Use Pythagorean Theorem: $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$ $$6^2 + 8^2 = c^2 ⇒ 100 = c^2 ⇒ c = 10$$ 8- Choice D is correct $$3x-5=8.5→3x=8.5+5=13.5→x=\frac{13.5}{3}=4.5$$ Then; $$5x+3=5 (4.5)+3=22.5+3=25.5$$ 9- The correct answer is 1,800. Use simple interest formula: I=prt (I = interest, p = principal, r = rate, t = time) $$I=(8000)(0.045)(5)=1800$$ 10- Choice C is correct. Let $$x$$ be the number of soft drinks for 252 guests. Write the proportion and solve for $$x$$. $$\frac{10 \space soft \space drinks}{12 \space guests}=\frac{x}{252 \space guests}$$ $$x =\frac{252×10}{12} ⇒x=210$$ ## The Absolute Best Book to Ace the 8th Grade ACT Aspire Math Test$14.99

12- The correct answer is 40.
Use the area of rectangle formula $$(s = a × b)$$.
To find area of the shaded region subtract smaller rectangle from bigger rectangle.
$$S_1 – S_2 = (10 \space ft × 8 \space ft) – (5 \space ft × 8 \space ft) ⇒ S_1 – S_2 = 40 \space ft$$

13- Choice B is correct
Use the formula for Percent of Change
$$\frac{New \space Value-Old \space Value}{Old \space Value} × 100\%$$
$$\frac{28-40}{40} × 100 \% = –30 \%$$ (negative sign here means that the new price is less than old price).

14- The correct answer is 1,000.
Use simple interest formula: I=prt (I = interest, p = principal, r = rate, t = time)
$$I=(5000)(0.05)(4)=1,000$$

Use formula of rectangle prism volume. V = (length) (width) (height) ⇒ 2000 = (25) (10) (height) ⇒ height = 2000 ÷ 250 = 8

16- Choice B is correct.
Use this formula: Percent of Change
$$\frac{New \space Value-Old \space Value}{Old \space Value} × 100\%$$
$$\frac{16,000-20,000}{20,000} × 100\% = 20\% \space and \space \frac{12,800-16,000}{16000} × 100\% = 20\%$$

17- The correct answer is 62.8.
To find the area of the shaded region subtract smaller circle from bigger circle.
$$S_ {bigger} – S_ {smaller} = π (r _{bigger} )^2 – π (r _{smaller} )^2 ⇒ S _{bigger} – S _{smaller} = π (6)^2 – π (4)^2$$
$$⇒ 36 π – 16π = 20 π = 20 × 3.14 = 62.8$$

$$a=6$$⇒ area of the triangle is $$=\frac{1}{2}(6×6)=\frac{36}{2}=18 \space cm^2$$

19- Choice C is correct
$$9×10=90$$
Petrol use: $$10×2=20$$ liters
Petrol cost: $$20×1=20$$

27- Choice C is correct
Let’s find the mean (average), mode and median of the number of cities for each type of pollution.
Number of cities for each type of pollution: 6, 3, 4, 9, 8
𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 (𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛) $$=\frac{sum \space of \space terms}{number \space of \space terms}= \frac{6+3+4+9+8}{5}=\frac{30}{5}=6$$
Median is the number in the middle. To find median, first list numbers in order from smallest to largest.
3, 4, 6, 8, 9
Median of the data is 6.
Mode is the number which appears most often in a set of numbers. Therefore, there is no mode in the set of numbers.
Median = Mean, then, 𝑎 = 𝑐

28- Choice A is correct
Percent of cities in the type of pollution A: $$\frac{6}{10}×100=60\%$$
Percent of cities in the type of pollution C: $$\frac{4}{10}0×100=40\%$$
Percent of cities in the type of pollution E: $$\frac{9}{10}×100=90\%$$

Let the number of cities should be added to type of pollution’s B be $$x$$. Then: $$\frac{x+3}{8}=0.625→x+3=8×0.625→x+3=5→x=2$$

30- Choice A is correct
AB = 12 and AC = 5
$$BC=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=\sqrt{144+25}=\sqrt{169}=13$$
Perimeter $$=5+12+13=30$$
Area $$=\frac{5×12}{2}=5×6=30$$
In this case, the ratio of the perimeter of the triangle to its area is: $$\frac{30}{30}=1$$
If the sides AB and AC become twice longer, then:
AB = 24 and AC = 10
BC $$=\sqrt{24^2+10^2}=\sqrt{576+100}=\sqrt{676}=26$$
Perimeter $$=26+24+10=60$$
Area $$=\frac{10×24}{2}=10×12=120$$
In this case the ratio of the perimeter of the triangle to its area is: $$\frac{60}{120}=\frac{1}{2}$$

Then: $$x+25+y+2x+y=180$$ Then, $$3x+2y=180-25→3(35)+2y=155$$ $$→2y=155-105=50→y=25$$ 39- Choice C is correct Square root of 16 is $$\sqrt{16}=4<6$$ Square root of 25 is $$\sqrt{25}=5<6$$ Square root of 37 is $$\sqrt{37}=\sqrt{36+1}>\sqrt{36}=6$$ Square root of 49 is $$\sqrt{49}=7>6$$ Since, $$\sqrt{37}<\sqrt{49}$$, then the answer is C. 40- The answer is 11. $$|-12-5|-|-8+2|=|-17|-|-6|=17-6=11$$ 41- Choice C is correct A probability is the likelihood of a successful event occurring divided by the total number of events possible. In this case, a successful event is selecting either a red or a yellow marble and the total number of events possible is the total number of marbles. Combine the number of red and yellow marbles: 8 + 5 = 13, and divide this by the total number of marbles: 6 + 8 + 5 = 19. The probability is 13 out of 19. 42- Choice C is correct A factor must divide evenly into its multiple. 14 cannot be a factor of 80 because 80 divided by 16 = 5.71 43- The answer is 16. The total cost of the phone call can be represented by the equation: $$TC = 4.00 + 0.4x$$, where $$x$$ is the duration of the call after the first five minutes. In this case, $$x = 30$$. Substitute the known values into the equation and solve: $$TC = 4.00 + 0.4 × 30$$ $$TC = 4.00 + 12.00 , TC = 16.00$$ 44- Choice C is correct Find the difference of the two expression: $$(5x+8)-(5x-3)=5x+8-5x+3=11$$ 45- The answer is 45. First, find the number. Let $$x$$ be the number.

By substitution of the given point and given slope, we have: $$-2 = (2)(7) + b$$, So, $$b = –2 – 14 = -6$$, and the required equation is $$y = 2x – 16$$. 48- Choice D is correct Multiplying each side of $$-3x-y=6$$ by $$2$$ gives $$-6x -2y = 12$$. Adding each side of $$-6x – 2y = 12$$ to the corresponding side of $$6x+4y=10$$ gives $$2y=22$$ or $$y=11$$. Finally, substituting $$11$$ for $$y$$ in $$6x+4y=10$$ gives $$6x+4(11)=10$$ or $$x=-\frac{17}{3}$$. 49- Choice B is correct $$x_{1,2} =\frac{-b ± \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$ , $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0, 4x^2 + 14x + 6 = 0$$ ⇒ then: $$a = 4$$, $$b = 14$$ and $$c = 6$$, $$x = \frac{-14 +\sqrt{14^2 – 4 .4 .6}}{2.4} = – \frac{1}{2}, x =\frac{-14 – \sqrt{14^2 – 4 .4 .6}}{2.4} = – 3$$ 50- Choice A is correct Use Pythagorean theorem: $$a^2+b^2=c^2→s^2+h^2=(5s)^2→s^2+h^2=25s^2$$ Subtracting s^2 from both sides gives: $$h^2=24s^2$$ Square roots of both sides: $$h=\sqrt{24s^2}=\sqrt{4×6×s^2} =\sqrt{4}×\sqrt{6}×\sqrt{s^2 }=2×s×\sqrt{6}=2s\sqrt{6}$$ 51- Choice D is correct Let $$x$$ be the number of purple marbles. Let’s review the choices provided: A. $$\frac{1}{10}$$, if the probability of choosing a purple marble is one out of ten, then: Probability $$=\frac{number \space of \space desired \space outcomes}{number \space of \space total \space outcomes}=\frac{x}{20+30+40+x}=\frac{1}{10}$$ Use cross multiplication and solve for $$x$$. $$10x=90+x→9x=90→x=9$$ Since, number of purple marbles can be 9, then, choice be the probability of randomly selecting a purple marble from the bag. Use same method for other choices. B. $$\frac{1}{4}$$ $$\frac{x}{20+30+40+x}=\frac{1}{4}→4x=90+x→3x=90→x=30$$ C. $$\frac{2}{5}$$ $$\frac{x}{20+30+40+x}=\frac{2}{5}→5x=180+2x→3x=180→x=60$$ D. $$\frac{7}{15}$$ $$\frac{x}{20+30+40+x}=\frac{7}{15}→15x=630+7x→8x=630→x=78.75$$ Number of purple marbles cannot be a decimal. 52- Choice C is correct Area = w × h Area = 138 × 83 = 11,454 53- Choice D is correct $$4x^2y^3 + 5x^3y^5 – (5x^2y^3 – 2x^3y^5) = 4x^2y^3 + 5x^3y^5 – 5x^2y^3 + 2x^3y^5 = – x^2y^3 + 7x^3y^5$$ ## The Best Books to Ace the 8th Grade ACT Aspire Math Test ### More math articles ### What people say about "Full-Length 8th Grade ACT Aspire Math Practice Test-Answers and Explanations"?
