Answers and Explanations


1. Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
The correct answer is E. The positive factors of 32 include all of the positive integers that divide evenly into 32. Don't
get confused between positive integers (which include 1) and even integers.
2. Correct Answer: J
Explanation:

The correct answer is J. If all CDs are equally priced and 8 CDs cost $76.00, then the cost of 1 CD is , or $9.50.

3. Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. To multiply these quantities, first group like terms:

2x2 × 3x2y2 × 5x2y = (2 × 3 × 5)(x2x2x2)(y2y).


To multiply the same base, add the exponents: (2 × 3 × 5)(x2x2x2)(y2y) = 30x6y3.
4. Correct Answer: G
Explanation:
The correct answer is G. To solve this problem, substitute the value 250 for x in the expression 10(100x - 10, 000) +
100, as follows:
10(100(250) - 10,000) + 100 =

10(25,000 - 10,000) + 100 =

www.actexam.net

10(15,000) + 100 =

150,000 + 100 = 150,100

5. Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is D. To solve this problem, recall that when two numbers that consist of the same base and
different exponents are multiplied together, you keep the base and add the exponents. Because multiplication is
commutative, the expression 4a3 × 5a8 can be written as 4 × 5 × a8 × a3, or 20a8+3, which equals 20a11. You can eliminate
answer choice A, B, and C because they add the coefficients instead of multiplying them.
6. Correct Answer: G
Explanation:
The correct answer is G. To solve this problem, first note that AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with
legs AE and BE, then apply the Pythagorean Theorem. According to the figure, E is between A and D, which means
that AD = AE + ED, or AE = AD - ED. It is given that AD = 16 and ED = 11, therefore AE = 16 - 11, or 5. Also according
to the figure, you can reasonably assume that BE and CD have the same length, and since AE is congruent to CD, the
segments BE and CD have a length of 5 as well. Thus, AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 5,

making AB2 = 52 + 52 = 25 + 25, or 50. Since AB2 = 50, , or .


7. Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. Recall that in scientific notation 2.0 × 102 = 2.0 × 100 = 200 and 2.0 × 10-2 = 2.0 × 0.01 = 0.02.
To solve this problem, determine the decimal value of each answer choice by changing the scientific notation to
decimals:
A.??0.02 × 104 = 0.02 × 10,000 = 200
B.??0.2 × 103 = 0.2 × 1000 = 200
C.??2.0 × 10-2 = 2.0 × 0.01 = 0.02
D.??20.0 × 102 = 20.0 × 100 = 2000
E.??0.002 × 105 = 0.002 × 100,000 = 200
Thus 2.0 × 10-2 = 2.0 × 0.01 = 0.02 is the number that is least in value.
8. Correct Answer: J
Explanation:
The correct answer is J. Since the triangle is isosceles, the base angles will have the same measure, x. Since the sum

of the angles in a triangle is 180°, 50 + 2x = 180, making , or 65°.


9. Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is D. If the sum of the real numbers a and b is 13, then a + b = 13. If the difference
between a and b is 5, then |a - b| = 5. Think of the difference as the positive distance between a and b on the number
line. Solve the first equation for a, as follows:
a + b = 13
a = 13 - b
Now, substitute 13 - b for a in the second equation and solve for b:

Now substitute b in the first equation to get a + 4 = 13, so a = 9. If a = 9 and b = 4, ab = 36.

10. Correct Answer: F
Explanation:
The correct answer is F. To find what percent 37 is of 144, divide 37 by 144 and multiply by 100%:

11. Correct Answer: B


Explanation:
The correct answer is B. To solve this problem, divide the amount collected on Day 2 (about $500 according to the
graph) by the total collected, $1,450, and multiply by 100%:

12. Correct Answer: G


Explanation:
The correct answer is G. To solve this problem, divide the total amount collected by the number of days:

13. Correct Answer: E


Explanation:
The correct answer is E. To solve, use the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method for binomial multiplication to
expand (3n + 5)2. It may be helpful to picture (3n + 5)2 as (3n + 5)(3n + 5). Using the FOIL method, (3n+5)(3n+5)
becomes 9n2+15n+ 15n + 25, which can be reduced to 9n2 + 30n + 25.
14. Correct Answer: G
Explanation:
The correct answer is G. To solve this problem, first find the cost of 5 boxes of cereal, then divide that total by 6. Since
each box costs $3.25, the cost for 5 boxes is 5(3.25), or $16.25. Since each additional box is free, the average cost per

box for the 6 boxes is , or $2.71.

15. Correct Answer: E


Explanation:
The correct answer is E. To solve this problem, multiply the number of possibilities for each option. Since there are 3
kinds of cheese, 4 kinds of meat toppings, and 5 kinds of vegetable toppings and each type of pizza on the menu has a
combination of exactly 3 ingredients: 1 cheese, 1 meat, and 1 vegetable, the total number of pizza types that are
possible is 3 × 4 × 5 = 60.
