Numbers

Positive integers 1,2,3

. Consecutive integers

x, x+1 , x+ 2

A) 3 consecutive integers total 990, what are the three integers?

4. If a is an odd integer and b is an even integer, which

of the following is an odd integer?

Percent
Percent means hundredths, or number out of 100. For example,

40 percent means
60% reduction = .4 times original

30% increase = 1.3 times original

Average
An average is a statistic that is used to summarize data. The most common type of average is the arithmetic mean. The average (arithmetic mean) of a list of n numbers is
equal to the sum of the numbers divided by n. For example, the mean of 2, 3, 5, 7, and
13 is equal to

Avg = Total/Number

So

Avg * Number = Total

(5*6

= 2+3+5+7+13)

Average Speed
Problem: Jos traveled for 2 hours at a rate of 70 kilometers per hour and for 5 hours
at a rate of 60 kilometers per hour. What was his average speed for the 7-hour period?

Distance
Speed = Distance/Time,

Time*Speed = Distance

Probability
Probability refers to the chance that a specific outcome can occur. It can be found by using the following definition when outcomes are equally likely:

Sequence
Find what the pattern is, see how often it repeats.

10
x, y, z, 65
In the sequence of positive integers above, each term,
starting with the second, is one less than double the
previous term. What is the value of x?
(A) 1
(B) 7.25
(C) 9
(D) 17
(E) 525

Ratios
Ratio a:b

= fraction a/a+b

Ratio of 3 boys to 2 girls = 3/5 boys, 2/5 girls

The ratio of the angles of a triangle is 3:5:7 what is the smallest angle?

Graphs

y= mx + b, m is the slope, b is the y intercept (0,b)

Divisibility
To find X that leaves remainder 3 when divided by 5, just add 5 + 3.
If 3 divides evenly into X then 3 will also divide into x + 3

Exponents

For all values of a, b,

For example,
Note: For any nonzero number x,

Variation
Direct Variation: The variable y is directly proportional to the variable x if there exists
a nonzero constant k such that
Inverse Variation: The variable x is inversely proportional to the variable y if there exists a nonzero constant k such that

11. If y is directly proportional to x and if y = 20 when

x = 6, what is the value of y when x = 9 ?
(A) 10
(B) 40
(C) 23
(D) 27
(E) 30
If x is inversely proportional to y and x = 10 when y = 6 what is x
when y = 12?

Absolute Value
Absolute Value :

=3

means x = 3 or x = -3

To describe all values between 2 and 10, |x -6| < 4

Sets
In a list of 24 different numbers, 18 of the numbers are
less than 12, and 12 of the numbers are greater than 6.
How many of these numbers are both greater than 6
and less than 12?
(A) 6
(B) 8
(C) 10
(D) 12
(E) 14

25 cereals have rice or oats or both in them.

If 17 cereal have just oats, and 18 have just rice, how many have both?

Parallel Lines

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon can be found by drawing
all diagonals of the polygon from one vertex and multiplying the number of triangles
formed by 180.

Triangles
. In any triangle, the longest side is opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side is
opposite the smallest angle. In the figure below,

Slopes

Parallel lines have same slope. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative
reciprocals.
m is the slope, b is the y intercept (0,b)

Combinations
5 colors, 3 sizes = 5*3= 15 combinations.
3 roles, 4 actors = 4*3*2 = 24 combinations
3 spots on team, 4 trying out = 4*3*2 / 2 = 12 (remove duplicates)

Try assigning numbers to the variables and see which answers match.
