$\dpi{100} .24+2.5+\frac{1}{4}=$

Possible Answers:

3.99

2.99

2.29

6.25

Correct answer:

2.99

Explanation:

First, convert $\dpi{100} \frac{1}{4}$ into a decimal. We are left with

$\dpi{100} .24+2.5+.25$

Now add the three numbers, being careful to line the decimal points up exactly. From right to left we will add:

1) 4 and 5 = 9

2) 5, 2, and 2 = 9

3) 2 is alone = 2

This leaves us with 2.99 for the final answer.

Possible Answers:

Eight

Five

Seven

Four

Six

Correct answer:

Five

Explanation:

can be equal to any of the prime numbers between 45 and 55, of which there are two - 47 or 53.

can be equal to any of the prime numbers between 15 and 25, of which there are three - 17, 19, and 23.

Their sum can be any of the following:

47+ 17= 64

47+ 19= 66

47+ 23= 70

53+ 17= 70

53+ 19= 72

53+ 23= 76

This makes five possible sums.

Example Question #1084 : Ssat Upper Level Quantitative (Math)

and are prime integers. 35< K < 45 and 85 < L < 95 . What is the greatest possible value of K + L ?

Possible Answers:

128

132

130

134

136

Correct answer:

132

Explanation:

To find the greatest possible value of K + L , add the greatest possible value of to the greatest possible value of . This happens when is equal to the greatest prime between 35 and 45, which is 43, and when is equal to the greatest prime between 85 and 95, which is 89. Add the two numbers:

43 + 89 = 132

Example Question #2 : How To Solve One Step Equations

In a math contest, the team from Lincoln High comprised five students - Melanie, Ned, Olivia, Phyllis, and Quinn. Melanie outscored Ned by 12 points; Ned outscored Quinn by 19 points; Phyllis outscored Ned by 45 points and Olivia by 20 points. Who came in third among the five?

Possible Answers:

Melanie

Ned

Phyllis

Olivia

Quinn

Correct answer:

Melanie

Explanation:

Since this reasoning is valid regardless of the actual scores, suppose Quinn scored 100. Then Ned scored 19 more than Quinn, or 119, and Melanie scored 12 more than Ned, or 131. Phyllis scored 45 more than Ned, or 164, and Olivia scored 20 points fewer than Phyllis, or 144. This makes the order, from greatest to least:

Phyllis, Olivia, Melanie, Ned, Quinn

Melanie scored third among the five.
