ISEE Upper Level Math Practice Test Answers and Explanations

1- Choice C is correct
\(|15-(18÷|2-8|)|=|15-(18÷6)=|15-3|=12\)

2- Choice D is correct
Use FOIL (First, Out, In, Last) method.
\((x-4)(2x+2)=2x^2+2x-8x-8=2x^2-6x-8\)

3- Choice B is correct
Solve for \(x\). \(-4≤4x-5<7\)⇒ (add 5 all sides) \(5-4≤4x-5+5<7+5\) ⇒
\(1≤4x<12\) ⇒ (divide all sides by \(4\)) \(\frac{1}{4}≤x<3\), x is between \(\frac{1}{4}\) and \(3\). Choice B represent this inequality.

4- Choice D is correct
\(x_{1,2} =\frac{-b ± \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, ax^2 + bx + c = 0, 3x^2 +8x + 4 = 0\)⇒then: \(a = 3, b = 8\) and \(c = 4\)
\(x = \frac{-8 + \sqrt{8^2 – 4 .3 .4}}{2 .3}= –\frac{2}{3}, x = \frac{-8 – \sqrt{8^2 – 4 .3 .4}(}{2 .3} = – 2\)

5- Choice B is correct
\(\frac{8}{23} = 0.347\) and \(45\% = 0.45\) therefore x should be between \(0.0.347\) and \(0.45\)
Choice B. \(\frac{8}{19} = 0.421\) is between \(0.347\) and \(0.45\)

6- Choice A is correct
A linear equation is a relationship between two variables, \(x\) and \(y\), and can be written in the form of \(y=\) m\(x +\) b.
A non-proportional linear relationship takes on the form \(y =\) m\(x +\) b, where b\( ≠\) 0 and its graph is a line that does not cross through the origin.

7- Choice D is correct
Translated 6 units down and 5 units to the left means: \((x.y) ⇒ (x-5,y-6)\)

8- Choice B is correct
Write the proportion and solve for missing side.
\(\frac{Smaller \space triangle \space height}{Smaller \space triangle \space base}=\frac{Bigger \space triangle \space height}{Bigger \space triangle \space base}
= ⇒ \frac{100 \space cm}{150 \space cm} =\frac{100+280 \space cm}{x} ⇒ x=570 cm\)

9- Choice B is correct
\(0.00000625= \frac{6.25}{1,000,000}⇒6.25 × 10^{–6}\)

10- Choice B is correct
The ratio of boy to girls is 7:5. Therefore, there are 7 boys out of 12 students. To find the answer, first divide the total number of students by 12, then multiply the result by 7.
\(540 ÷ 12 = 45 ⇒ 120 × 7 = 315\)

11- Choice C is correct
Probability = (number of desired outcomes)/ (number of total outcomes)
In this case, a desired outcome is selecting either a red or a yellow marble. Combine the number of red and yellow marbles: \(7 + 6 = 13\) and divide this by the total number of marbles: \(5 + 7 + 6 = 18.\) The probability is \(\frac{13}{18}\).

12- Choice A is correct
Emily = Daniel, Emily = 9 Claire, Daniel \(= 24 +\) Claire, Emily = Daniel →          Emily\( = 20 +\) Claire
Emily = 9 Claire →            9 Claire \(= 24 +\) Claire→9 Claire \(–\) Claire = 24, 8 Claire = 24, Claire = 3

13- Choice B is correct
\(\frac{1}{4}\) of the distance is \(4 \frac{2}{5}\) miles. Then: \(\frac{1}{4}×4 \frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{4}×\frac{22}{5}=\frac{22}{20}\)
Converting \(\frac{22}{20}\) to a mixed number gives: \(\frac{22}{20}=1 \frac{2}{10}/20=1 \frac{1}{10}\)

14- Choice D is correct
Use Pythagorean theorem: \(a^2+b^2=c^2→s^2+h^2=(10s)^2→(6s)^2+h^2=100s^2\)
Subtracting \(s^2\) from both sides gives: \(h^2=64s^2\),
Square roots of both sides: \(h=\sqrt{64s^2}=8s\)

15- Choice C is correct
\(5 – 12 ÷ (2^4 ÷ 4) = 5 – 12 ÷ (16 ÷ 4) = 5 – 12 ÷ (4) = 5-3 =2\)

average\(=\frac{sum}{total}=\frac{40+30+38}{3}=\frac{108}{3}=36\)

18- Choice A is correct

19- Choice A is correct
\((6.2+6.3+6.5) x = x+2, 19x =x+2, Then x = \frac{1}{9}\)

20- Choice C is correct
\(16\%\) of \(x = 15.4, x = 16/100 x = 15.4, x =\frac{16 × 15.4}{100} = 96.25\)

21- Choice D is correct
\(\frac{9}{30} = 0.3\)

22- Choice B is correct
\(\frac{240}{8} < x < \frac{320}{8}, 30 < x < 40\), Then:Only choice b is correct

23- Choice D is correct
\(75 ÷ \frac{1}{6} =\frac{\frac{75}{1}}{\frac{1}{6}}= 75 × 6 = 450\)

24- Choice D is correct
For sum of 5: (1 & 4) and (4 & 1), (2 & 3) and (3 & 2), therefore we have 4 options.
For sum of 7: (1 & 6) and (6 & 1), (2 & 5) and (5 & 2), (3 & 4) and (4 & 3) we have 6 options.
To get a sum of 6 or 9 for two dice: 6 + 4 = 10
Since, we have 6 × 6 = 36 total number of options, the probability of getting a sum of 4 and 6 is 10 out of 36 or \(\frac{10}{36}=\frac{5}{18}\).

25- Choice D is correct
Simplify: \(\frac{\frac{1}{4}-\frac{x+7}{8}}{\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{\frac{1}{4}(1-\frac{x+7}{2})}{\frac{x^2-1}{4}}=\frac{1-\frac{x+7}{2}}{x^2-1}⇒Simplify:1-\frac{x+7}{2}=\frac{2-x-7}{2} =\frac{-x-5}{2}

Then:\frac{1-\frac{x+7}{2}}{x^2-1}=\frac{\frac{-x -5}{2}}{x^2-1}=\frac{-x – 5}{2(x^2 – 1)}=\frac{-x – 5}{2x^2- 2}\)

26- Choice C is correct
The distance of A to B on the coordinate plane is: \(\sqrt{(x_1-x_2 )^2+(y_1-y_2 )^2 }= \sqrt{(9-1)^2+(8-2)^2 }=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}, =\sqrt{64+36}=\sqrt{100}=10\)
The diameter of the circle is 10 and the radius of the circle is 5. Then: the circumference of the circle is: \(2πr=2π(5)=10π\)

27- Choice B is correct
\(102.5 ÷ 0.55 = 186.36\)

28- Choice C is correct
Diameter = 14, then: Radius = 7, Area of a circle \(= πr^2 ⇒ A = 3.14(7)^2 = 153.86\)

37- Choice D is correct
The area of the circle is 64π \(cm^2\), then, its diameter is 8cm.
area of a circle \(=πr^2=64π→r^2=64→r=8\)
The radius of the circle is 8 and the diameter is twice it, 16.
One side of the square equals the diameter of the circle. Then:
Area of square\(=side×side=16×16=256\)

38- Choice C is correct
Formula of triangle area \(= \frac{1}{2} (base × height)\)
Since the angles are 45-45-90, then this is an isosceles triangle, meaning that the base and height of the triangle are equal. Triangle area \(= \frac{1}{2} (base × height) = \frac{1}{2} (4 × 4) = 8\)

39- Choice D is correct

In choice B: (4, 2) and (4, 7) are ordered pairs with same \(x\) and different \(y\), therefore \(y\) isn’t a function of \(x\).
In choice C: (5, 7) and (5, 18) are ordered pairs with same \(x\)and different \(y\), therefore \(y\)isn’t a function of \(x\).
In choice D: (6, 1) and (6, 3) are ordered pairs with same \(x\)and different \(y\), therefore \(y\)isn’t a function of \(x\).

41- Choice D is correct
