Solution
Question 10
A grocer makes a display of cans in which the top row has one can and each lower row has two more cans than the row above it. If the display contains cans, how many rows does it contain?
Solution
Question 11
Two eight-sided dice each have faces numbered through . When the dice are rolled, each face has an equal probability of appearing on the top. What is the probability that the product of the two top numbers is greater than their sum?
Solution
Suppose m and n are the 2 top numbers, we have:
m*n > m+n
m*n - m - n > 0
m*n - m - n + 1> 1
(m-1)*(n-1) > 1
Ask yourself the question: when will (m-1)*(n-1) <= 1?
When m=1 (8 cases), or n=1 (8 cases), or m and n are both 2 (1 case).
Therefore, there are 16 cases when product of the two top numbers is NOT greater than their sum.
Therefore, there are 64-16 = 48 cases when product of the two top numbers is greater than their sum.
Now you can get your probability.
Question 12
An annulus is the region between two concentric circles. The concentric circles in the ???gure have radii and , with . Let be a radius of the larger circle, let be tangent to the smaller circle at , and let be the radius of the larger circle that contains . Let , , and . What is the area of the annulus?
Solution
Question 13
In the United States, coins have the following thicknesses: penny, mm; nickel, mm; dime, mm; quarter, mm. If a stack of these coins is exactly mm high, how many coins are in the stack?
Solution
Penny= 155, nickel = 195, dime = 135, quarter = 175, and stack height = 1400.
We can use dime as base:
penny = 135 + 20
nickel = 135 + 60
quarter = 135 + 40
So suppose total # of coins is n, we will have:
1. 1400 = 135 * n + 0*Kd + 20*Kp + 40*Kq+ 60*Kn
2. n = Kd + Kp + Kq + Kn
n must be even number. So to solve this problem, all you need to do is to see which one - 8 or 10 is correct, understanding that #1 and #2 above must be met.
Question 14
A bag initially contains red marbles and blue marbles only, with more blue than red. Red marbles are added to the bag until only of the marbles in the bag are blue. Then yellow marbles are added to the bag until only of the marbles in the bag are blue. Finally, the number of blue marbles in the bag is doubled. What fraction of the marbles now in the bag are blue?
Solution
Question 15
Patty has coins consisting of nickels and dimes. If her nickels were dimes and her dimes were nickels, she would have cents more. How much are her coins worth?
Solution
20 = N + D
70 + 10*D + 5*N = 10*N + 5*D
