## SSAT Lower Level Mathematical Reasoning Practice Test Answers and Explanations

1- Choice B is correct.
The closest to 4.25 is 4.05 in the options provided.

2- Choice B is correct.
$$\frac{5}{4}=1.25$$, the only option that is greater than $$1.25$$ is $$\frac{3}{2}$$.
$$\frac{3}{2}=1.5 ,1.5>1.25$$

3- Choice D is correct.
If $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of a number is greater than 5, the number must be greater than 20.
$$\frac{1}{4} x>5$$→multiply both sides of the inequality by 4,then: $$x>20$$

4- Choice E is correct.
$$3×(M+N)=12$$, then $$M+N=4. M>0→N$$ could not be 4

5- Choice A is correct.
There are 9 squares and 3 of them are shaded. Therefore, 3 out of 9 or $$\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}$$ are shaded.

6- Choice A is correct.
The value of digit 5 in both numbers $$x$$ and $$y$$ are in the tens place. Therefore, they have the same value.

7- Choice E is correct.
A represents digit 4 in the multiplication. $$11×296=3,256$$

8- Choice B is correct.
N is even. Let’s choose 2 and 4 for N. Now, let’s review the options provided.
A. $$\frac{N}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1, \frac{N}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2$$, One result is odd and the other one is even.
B. $$N-1=2-1=1, 4-1=3$$ Both results are odd.
C. $$N+2=2+2=4, 4+2=6$$ Both results are even.
D. $$(2×N)-2=(2×2)-2=2, (4×2)-2=6$$ Both results are even.
E. $$N+4=2+4=6, 4+4=8$$   Both results are even.

9- Choice B is correct.
$$6.4-3.05=3.35$$, which is closest to 3.55

10- Choice D is correct.
The ratio of lions to tigers is 3 to 2 at the zoo. Therefore, total number of lions and tigers must be divisible by 5. $$3+2=5$$, From the numbers provided, only 74 is not divisible by 5.
