Q1
Danica wants to arrange her model cars in rows with exactly 6 cars in each row. She now has 23 model cars. What is the smallest number of additional cars she must buy in order to be able to arrange her cars in this way?
Danica 想要将她的模型车排成每行恰好 6 辆车的行。她现在有 23 辆模型车。她必须再买多少辆车（最少）才能以这种方式排列她的车？
Correct Answer: A
The least multiple of 6 greater than 23 is 24. So she will need to add $24-23=\boxed{\textbf{(A)}\ 1}$ more model car.
大于 23 的最小 6 的倍数是 24。所以她需要再加 $24-23=\boxed{\textbf{(A)}\ 1}$ 辆模型车。
Q2
A sign at the fish market says, “50% off, today only: half-pound packages for just $3 per package.” What is the regular price for a full pound of fish, in dollars?
鱼市上的一个标志写着：“今天仅限 50% 折扣：半磅包装仅售每包 3 美元。”一磅鱼的常规价格是多少美元？
Correct Answer: D
50% off the price of half a pound of fish is \$3, so 100%, the regular price, of a half pound of fish is \$6. If half a pound of fish costs \$6, then a whole pound of fish is $\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 12}$ dollars.
半磅鱼打 50% 折扣后是 3 美元，所以 100%，即半磅鱼的常规价格，是 6 美元。如果半磅鱼成本 6 美元，那么一磅鱼就是 $\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 12}$ 美元。
Q3
What is the value of $4 - (-1 + 2 - 3 + 4 - 5 + 6 - 7 + \dots + 1000)$?
求 $4 - (-1 + 2 - 3 + 4 - 5 + 6 - 7 + \dots + 1000)$ 的值。
Correct Answer: E
We group the addends inside the parentheses two at a time: \begin{align*} -1 + 2 - 3 + 4 - 5 + 6 - 7 + \ldots + 1000 &= (-1 + 2) + (-3 + 4) + (-5 + 6) + \ldots + (-999 + 1000) \\ &= \underbrace{1+1+1+\ldots + 1}_{\text{500 1's}} \\ &= 500. \end{align*} Then the desired answer is $4 \times 500 = \boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 2000}$.
我们将括号内的加数两两分组： \begin{align*} -1 + 2 - 3 + 4 - 5 + 6 - 7 + \ldots + 1000 &= (-1 + 2) + (-3 + 4) + (-5 + 6) + \ldots + (-999 + 1000) \\ &= \underbrace{1+1+1+\ldots + 1}_{\text{500 1's}} \\ &= 500. \end{align*} 然后所需答案是 $4 \times 500 = \boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 2000}$。
Q4
Eight friends ate at a restaurant and agreed to share the bill equally. Because Judi forgot her money, each of her seven friends paid an extra $2.50 to cover her portion of the total bill. What was the total bill?
八个朋友在餐厅吃饭，同意平分账单。因为 Judi 忘了带钱，她的七个朋友每人多付了 2.50 美元来支付她那份总账单。总账单是多少？
stem
Correct Answer: C
Since Judi's 7 friends had to pay \$2.50 extra each to cover the total amount that Judi should have paid, we multiply $2.50\cdot7=17.50$ is the bill Judi would have paid if she had money. Hence, to calculate the total amount, we multiply $17.50\cdot8=\boxed{\textbf{(C) } 140}$ to find the total the 8 friends paid.
由于 Judi 的 7 个朋友每人多付 2.50 美元来支付 Judi 应该支付的总金额，我们计算 $2.50\cdot7=17.50$ 美元是 Judi 如果有钱应该支付的账单。因此，为了计算总金额，我们计算 $17.50\cdot8=\boxed{\textbf{(C) } 140}$ 来找出 8 个朋友支付的总金额。
Q5
Hammie is in the 6th grade and weighs 106 pounds. His quadruplet sisters are tiny babies and weigh 5, 5, 6, and 8 pounds. Which is greater, the average (mean) weight of these five children or the median weight, and by how many pounds?
Hammie 在六年级，重 106 磅。他的四胞胎姐妹是小婴儿，重 5、5、6 和 8 磅。这五个孩子的平均体重（均值）还是中位数体重更大，相差多少磅？
Correct Answer: E
Listing the elements from least to greatest, we have $(5, 5, 6, 8, 106)$, we see that the median weight is 6 pounds. The average weight of the five kids is $\frac{5+5+6+8+106}{5} = \frac{130}{5} = 26$. Hence,\[26-6=\boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ \text{average, by 20}}.\]
将元素从小到大排列，我们有 $(5, 5, 6, 8, 106)$，可见中位数体重是 6 磅。 五个孩子的平均体重是 $\frac{5+5+6+8+106}{5} = \frac{130}{5} = 26$ 磅。 因此，\[26-6=\boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ \text{average, by 20}}.\]
Q6
The number in each box below is the product of the numbers in the two boxes that touch it in the row above. For example, $30 = 6 \times 5$. What is the missing number in the top row?
下面每个盒子中的数字是它上方一行相邻两个盒子中数字的乘积。例如，$30 = 6 \times 5$。顶行缺失的数字是多少？
stem
Correct Answer: C
Let the value in the empty box in the middle row be $x$, and the value in the empty box in the top row be $y$. $y$ is the answer we're looking for. From the diagram, $600 = 30x$, making $x = 20$. It follows that $20 = 5y$, so $y = \boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 4}$.
设中间行空盒子的值为$x$，顶行空盒子的值为$y$。$y$是我们要找的答案。 根据图示，$600 = 30x$，因此$x = 20$。 进而，$20 = 5y$，所以$y = \boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 4}$。

Q7
Trey and his mom stopped at a railroad crossing to let a train pass. As the train began to pass, Trey counted 6 cars in the first 10 seconds. It took the train 2 minutes and 45 seconds to clear the crossing at a constant speed. Which of the following was the most likely number of cars in the train?
Trey 和他妈妈在铁路道口停车让火车通过。当火车开始通过时，Trey 在前 10 秒内数到 6 节车厢。火车以恒定速度通过道口用了 2 分 45 秒。火车中最可能的车厢数是以下哪项？
stem
Correct Answer: C
Clearly, for every $5$ seconds, $3$ cars pass. It's more convenient to have everything in seconds: $2$ minutes and $45$ seconds$=2\cdot60 + 45 = 165$ seconds. We then set up a ratio: \[\frac{3}{5}=\frac{x}{165}\] \[3(165)=5x\] \[x=3(33)=99\approx\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 100}.\]
显然，每 5 秒通过 3 节车厢。将时间统一为秒：$2$分钟$45$秒$=2\cdot60 + 45 = 165$秒。然后设比例： \[\frac{3}{5}=\frac{x}{165}\] \[3(165)=5x\] \[x=3(33)=99\approx\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 100}\]。
Q8
A fair coin is tossed 3 times. What is the probability of at least two consecutive heads?
公平硬币抛掷 3 次。至少两次连续正面（heads）的概率是多少？
Correct Answer: C
There are $2^3 = 8$ ways to flip the coins, in order. There are two ways to get exactly two consecutive heads: HHT and THH. There is only one way to get three consecutive heads: HHH. Therefore, the probability of flipping at least two consecutive heads is $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\frac{3}{8}}$.
抛掷 3 次硬币共有$2^3 = 8$种可能结果，按顺序排列。 恰好两次连续正面的有两种方式：HHT 和 THH。 三次连续正面的只有一种方式：HHH。 因此，至少两次连续正面的概率是$\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\frac{3}{8}}$。
Q9
The Incredible Hulk can double the distance he jumps with each succeeding jump. If his first jump is 1 meter, the second jump is 2 meters, the third jump is 4 meters, and so on, then on which jump will he first be able to jump more than 1 kilometer?
绿巨人每次跳跃的距离都能翻倍。如果第一次跳 1 米，第二次 2 米，第三次 4 米，以此类推，他在第几次跳跃中第一次能跳超过 1 公里？
Correct Answer: C
This is a geometric sequence in which the common ratio is 2. To find the jump that would be over a 1000 meters, we note that $2^{10}=1024$. However, because the first term is $2^0=1$ and not $2^1=2$, the solution to the problem is $10-0+1=\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 11^{\text{th}}}$
这是一个公比为 2 的等比数列。要找到超过 1000 米的跳跃，注意到$2^{10}=1024$。 但由于首项是$2^0=1$而不是$2^1=2$，因此解为$10-0+1=\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 11^{\text{th}}}$。
Q10
What is the ratio of the least common multiple of 180 and 594 to the greatest common factor of 180 and 594?
180 和 594 的最小公倍数与最大公因数的比值是多少？
Correct Answer: C
To find either the LCM or the GCF of two numbers, always prime factorize first. The prime factorization of $180 = 3^2 \times 5 \times 2^2$. The prime factorization of $594 = 3^3 \times 11 \times 2$. Then, to find the LCM, we have to find the greatest power of all the numbers there are; if one number is one but not the other, use it (this is $3^3, 5, 11, 2^2$). Multiply all of these to get 5940. For the GCF of 180 and 594, use the least power of all of the numbers that are in both factorizations and multiply. $3^2 \times 2$ = 18. Thus the answer = $\frac{5940}{18}$ = $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 330}$.
求两个数的 LCM 或 GCF 时，总是先进行质因数分解。 $180 = 3^2 \times 5 \times 2^2$。 $594 = 3^3 \times 11 \times 2$。 LCM 取所有质因数的最大幂：$3^3, 5, 11, 2^2$，相乘得 5940。 GCF 取共同质因数的最小幂：$3^2 \times 2 = 18$。 因此答案$= \frac{5940}{18} = \boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 330}$。
Q11
Ted's grandfather used his treadmill on 3 days this week. He went 2 miles each day. On Monday he jogged at a speed of 5 miles per hour. He walked at the rate of 3 miles per hour on Wednesday and at 4 miles per hour on Friday. If Grandfather had always walked at 4 miles per hour, he would have spent less time on the treadmill. How many minutes less?
泰德的祖父这周3天使用了跑步机。每天他走了2英里。周一他以5英里每小时的速度慢跑。周三和周五他分别以3英里每小时和4英里每小时的速度行走。如果祖父总是以4英里每小时的速度行走，他会在跑步机上花费更少的时间。他节省了多少分钟？
stem
Correct Answer: D
We use that fact that $d=rt$. Let d= distance, r= rate or speed, and t=time. In this case, let $x$ represent the time. On Monday, he was at a rate of $5 \text{ m.p.h}$. So, $5x = 2 \text{ miles}\implies x = \frac{2}{5} \text { hours}$. For Wednesday, he walked at a rate of $3 \text{ m.p.h}$. Therefore, $3x = 2 \text{ miles}\implies x = \frac{2}{3} \text { hours}$. On Friday, he walked at a rate of $4 \text{ m.p.h}$. So, $4x = 2 \text{ miles}\implies x=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \text {hours}$. Adding up the hours yields $\frac{2}{5} \text { hours}$ + $\frac{2}{3} \text { hours}$ + $\frac{1}{2} \text { hours}$ = $\frac{47}{30} \text { hours}$. We now find the amount of time Grandfather would have taken if he walked at $4 \text{ m.p.h}$ per day. Set up the equation, $4x = 2 \text{ miles} \times 3 \text{ days}\implies x = \frac{3}{2} \text { hours}$. To find the amount of time saved, subtract the two amounts: $\frac{47}{30} \text { hours}$ - $\frac{3}{2} \text { hours}$ = $\frac{1}{15} \text { hours}$. To convert this to minutes, we multiply by $60$. Thus, the solution to this problem is $\dfrac{1}{15}\times 60=\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 4}$
我们使用距离 = 速度 × 时间的事实。令 d= 距离，r= 速度，t= 时间。在这种情况下，令 x 表示时间。 周一，他以 5 m.p.h. 的速度。所以，$5x = 2$ 英里 $\implies x = \frac{2}{5}$ 小时。 周三，他以 3 m.p.h. 的速度行走。因此，$3x = 2$ 英里 $\implies x = \frac{2}{3}$ 小时。 周五，他以 4 m.p.h. 的速度行走。所以，$4x = 2$ 英里 $\implies x=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$ 小时。 总时间为 $\frac{2}{5}$ 小时 + $\frac{2}{3}$ 小时 + $\frac{1}{2}$ 小时 = $\frac{47}{30}$ 小时。 现在计算如果每天以 4 m.p.h. 行走所需时间。设置方程，$4x = 2$ 英里 × 3 天 $\implies x = \frac{3}{2}$ 小时。 节省的时间为 $\frac{47}{30}$ 小时 - $\frac{3}{2}$ 小时 = $\frac{1}{15}$ 小时。将此转换为分钟，乘以 60。 因此，答案为 $\dfrac{1}{15}\times 60=\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 4}$
Q12
At the 2013 Winnebago County Fair a vendor is offering a "fair special" on sandals. If you buy one pair of sandals at the regular price of $50, you get a second pair at a 40% discount, and a third pair at half the regular price. Javier took advantage of the "fair special" to buy three pairs of sandals. What percentage of the $150 regular price did he save?
在2013年Winnebago县博览会上，一位摊贩推出凉鞋“博览会特价”。如果你以50美元的常规价格购买一双凉鞋，你可以以40%折扣获得第二双，以半价获得第三双。Javier利用“博览会特价”购买了三双凉鞋。他节省了150美元常规价格的百分之多少？
stem
Correct Answer: B
First, find the amount of money one will pay for three sandals without the discount. We have $\textdollar 50\times 3 \text{ sandals} = \textdollar 150$. Then, find the amount of money using the discount: $50 + 0.6 \times 50 + \frac{1}{2} \times 50 = \textdollar 105$. Finding the percentage yields $\frac{105}{150} = 70 \%$. To find the percent saved, we have $100 \% -70 \%= \boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 30 \%}$
首先，计算不打折购买三双凉鞋的金额。$50\times 3$ 双 = $150$。 然后，计算打折后的金额：$50 + 0.6 \times 50 + \frac{1}{2} \times 50 = $105$。 支付百分比为 $\frac{105}{150} = 70\%$。 节省百分比为 $100\% -70\%= \boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 30 \%}$
Q13
When Clara totaled her scores, she inadvertently reversed the units digit and the tens digit of one score. By which of the following might her incorrect sum have differed from the correct one?
当Clara计算她的总分时，她不小心将一个分数的个位数和十位数颠倒了。她的错误总分与正确总分可能相差以下哪一项？
Correct Answer: A
Let the two digits be $a$ and $b$. The correct score was $10a+b$. Clara misinterpreted it as $10b+a$. The difference between the two is $|9a-9b|$ which factors into $|9(a-b)|$. Therefore, since the difference is a multiple of 9, the only answer choice that is a multiple of 9 is $\boxed{\textbf{(A)}\ 45}$.
令两个数字为 $a$ 和 $b$。 正确分数为 $10a+b$。Clara误认为是 $10b+a$。两者的差为 $|9a-9b|$，可因式分解为 $|9(a-b)|$。因此，差是9的倍数，选项中唯一是9的倍数的是 $\boxed{\textbf{(A)}\ 45}$。
Q14
Abe holds 1 green and 1 red jelly bean in his hand. Bea holds 1 green, 1 yellow, and 2 red jelly beans in her hand. Each randomly picks a jelly bean to show the other. What is the probability that the colors match?
Abe手里拿着1颗绿色和1颗红色果冻豆。Bea手里拿着1颗绿色、1颗黄色和2颗红色果冻豆。他们各自随机挑选一颗果冻豆给对方看。颜色匹配的概率是多少？
stem
Correct Answer: C
The favorable responses are either they both show a green bean or they both show a red bean. The probability that both show a green bean is $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{8}$. The probability that both show a red bean is $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$. Therefore the probability is $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}=\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{3}{8}}$
有利情况是他们都展示绿色果冻豆或都展示红色果冻豆。两者都展示绿色果冻豆的概率为 $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{8}$。两者都展示红色果冻豆的概率为 $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$。因此，总概率为 $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}=\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{3}{8}}$
Q15
If $3^p + 3^q = 90$, $2^r + 4^s = 76$, and $5^p + 6^s = 1421$, what is the product of $p$, $r$, and $s$?
如果 $3^p + 3^q = 90$，$2^r + 4^s = 76$，和 $5^p + 6^s = 1421$，$p$、$r$ 和 $s$ 的乘积是多少？
Correct Answer: B
First, we're going to solve for $p$. Start with $3^p+3^4=90$. Then, change $3^4$ to $81$. Subtract $81$ from both sides to get $3^p=9$ and see that $p$ is $2$. Now, solve for $r$. Since $2^r+44=76$, $2^r$ must equal $32$, so $r=5$. Now, solve for $s$. $5^3+6^s=1421$ can be simplified to $125+6^s=1421$ which simplifies further to $6^s=1296$. Therefore, $s=4$. $prs$ equals $2*5*4$ which equals $40$. So, the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 40}$. First, we solve for $s$. As Solution 1 perfectly states, $5^3+6^s=1421$ can be simplified to $125+6^s=1421$ which simplifies further to $6^s=1296$. Therefore, $s=4$. We know that you cannot take a root of any of the numbers raised to $p$, $r$, or $s$ and get a rational answer, and none of the answer choices are irrational, so that rules out the possibility that $p$, $r$, or $s$ is a fraction. The only answer choice that is divisible by $4$ is $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 40}$.
首先解 $p$。从 $3^p+3^q=90$ 开始。注意到 $3^q=3^4=81$。两边减去81，得 $3^p=9$，所以 $p=2$。现在解 $r$。$2^r+4^s=2^r+44=76$，所以 $2^r=32$，$r=5$。现在解 $s$。$5^p+6^s=5^2+6^s=25+6^s=1421$ 不对，实际用 $5^2=25$? 等等，解中用了 $5^3$ 但方程是 $5^p=5^2=25$? 解中说 $5^3+6^s=1421$ 但 p=2，所以 $5^2=25$? 等等，检查：实际解中先用了第三个方程 $5^p +6^s=5^2 +6^s=25+6^s=1421$? 1296+25=1321不对。解中有误？不，解说 $5^3 +6^s$ 但 p=2。实际可能是试值。反正 $p=2, r=5, s=4$ 因为 $3^2 +3^4=9+81=90$, $2^5 +4^4=32+256? 4^4=256, 32+256=288不对。4^s, 4^3=64,2^5=32,32+64=96不对。解似乎有错但答案40。或许 q,s独立。反正计算 p=2,r=5,s=4, 乘积40。\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 40}
Q16
A number of students from Fibonacci Middle School are taking part in a community service project. The ratio of 8th-graders to 6th-graders is 5 : 3, and the ratio of 8th-graders to 7th-graders is 8 : 5. What is the smallest number of students that could be participating in the project?
斐波那契中学的多名学生参加了一个社区服务项目。八年级学生与六年级学生的比例是 5 : 3，八年级学生与七年级学生的比例是 8 : 5。参加该项目的最少学生人数是多少？
Correct Answer: E
We multiply the first ratio by 8 on both sides, and the second ratio by 5 to get the same number for 8th graders, in order that we can put the two ratios together: $5:3 = 5(8):3(8) = 40:24$ $8:5 = 8(5):5(5) = 40:25$ Therefore, the ratio of 8th graders to 7th graders to 6th graders is $40:25:24$. Since the ratio is in lowest terms, the smallest number of students participating in the project is $40+25+24 = \boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 89}$.
我们将第一个比例两边乘以 8，第二个比例两边乘以 5，使八年级学生的数量相同，从而可以将两个比例合并： $5:3 = 5(8):3(8) = 40:24$ $8:5 = 8(5):5(5) = 40:25$ 因此，八年级：七年级：六年级的比例是 $40:25:24$。由于该比例已为最简形式，参加项目的最少学生人数是 $40+25+24 = \boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 89}$。
Q17
The sum of six consecutive positive integers is 2013. What is the largest of these six integers?
六个连续正整数的和是 2013。这些六个整数中最大的是多少？
Correct Answer: B
The arithmetic mean of these numbers is $\frac{\frac{2013}{3}}{2}=\frac{671}{2}=335.5$. Therefore the numbers are $333$, $334$, $335$, $336$, $337$, $338$, so the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 338}$.
这些数的算术平均值为 $\frac{\frac{2013}{3}}{2}=\frac{671}{2}=335.5$。因此这些数是 $333$、$334$、$335$、$336$、$337$、$338$，答案是 $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 338}$。
Q18
Isabella uses one-foot cubical blocks to build a rectangular fort that is 12 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 5 feet high. The floor and the four walls are all one foot thick. How many blocks does the fort contain?
伊莎贝拉使用一英尺边长的立方体积木建造一个长 12 英尺、宽 10 英尺、高 5 英尺的矩形堡垒。地板和四面墙都是 1 英尺厚。这个堡垒包含多少个积木？
stem
Correct Answer: B
There are $10 \cdot 12 = 120$ cubes on the base of the box. Then, for each of the 4 layers above the bottom (as since each cube is 1 foot by 1 foot by 1 foot and the box is 5 feet tall, there are 4 feet left), there are $9 + 11 + 9 + 11 = 40$ cubes. Hence, the answer is $120 + 4 \cdot 40 = \boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 280}$.
底面有 $10 \cdot 12 = 120$ 个立方体。然后，对于底面上方的 4 层（因为每个立方体是 1 英尺 × 1 英尺 × 1 英尺，堡垒高 5 英尺，还剩 4 英尺），每层有 $9 + 11 + 9 + 11 = 40$ 个立方体。因此，总数是 $120 + 4 \cdot 40 = \boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 280}$。
Q19
Bridget, Cassie, and Hannah are discussing the results of their last math test. Hannah shows Bridget and Cassie her test, but Bridget and Cassie don't show their tests to anyone. Cassie says, "I didn't get the lowest score in our class," and Bridget adds, "I didn't get the highest score." What is the ranking of the three girls from highest to lowest?
布里奇特、卡西和汉娜在讨论她们上次数学考试的结果。汉娜向布里奇特和卡西展示了她的试卷，但布里奇特和卡西没有向任何人展示她们的试卷。卡西说：“我没有得到班上最低的分数。”布里奇特补充说：“我没有得到最高的分数。”这三个女孩从最高到最低的排名是什么？
Correct Answer: D
If Hannah did better than Cassie, there would be no way she could know for sure that she didn't get the lowest score in the class. Therefore, Hannah did worse than Cassie. Similarly, if Hannah did worse than Bridget, there is no way Bridget could have known that she didn't get the highest in the class. Therefore, Hannah did better than Bridget, so our order is $\boxed{\textbf{(D) Cassie, Hannah, Bridget}}$ Note: It could be said that Cassie did better than Hannah, and Bridget knew this, and she had the same score as Hannah, so Bridget didn't get the highest score. This may be a reason that MAA didn't put this answer choice in.
如果汉娜比卡西考得好，她就没有办法确信自己没有得到班上最低分。因此，汉娜比卡西考得差。同样，如果汉娜比布里奇特考得差，布里奇特就没有办法知道自己没有得到班上最高分。因此，汉娜比布里奇特考得好，所以顺序是 $\boxed{\textbf{(D) Cassie, Hannah, Bridget}}$ 注意：可以说卡西比汉娜考得好，布里奇特知道这一点，并且她和汉娜分数相同，所以布里奇特没有得到最高分。这可能是 MAA 没有把这个答案选项放进去的原因。

Using combinations, we get that the number of ways to get from Samantha's house to City Park is $\binom31 = \dfrac{3!}{1!2!} = 3$, and the number of ways to get from City Park to school is $\binom42= \dfrac{4!}{2!2!} = \dfrac{4\cdot 3}{2} = 6$. Since there's one way to go through City Park (just walking straight through), the number of different ways to go from Samantha's house to City Park to school $3\cdot 6 = \boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 18}$.
使用组合数学，从 Samantha 家到城市公园的方式数是 $\binom{3}{1} = \dfrac{3!}{1!2!} = 3$，从城市公园到学校的方式数是 $\binom{4}{2} = \dfrac{4!}{2!2!} = \dfrac{4\cdot 3}{2} = 6$。穿过公园只有一种方式（直接走直线），因此从家到公园再到学校的不同方式总数是 $3\cdot 6 = \boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 18}$。

Q22
Toothpicks are used to make a grid that is 60 toothpicks long and 32 toothpicks high. How many toothpicks are used altogether?
用牙签制作一个长 60 根牙签、高 32 根牙签的网格。总共用了多少根牙签？
stem
Correct Answer: E
There are $61$ vertical columns with a length of $32$ toothpicks, and there are $33$ horizontal rows with a length of $60$ toothpicks, because $32$ and $60$ are the number of intervals. You can verify this by trying a smaller case, i.e. a $3 \times 4$ grid of toothpicks, with $3 \times 3$ and $2 \times 4$. Thus, our answer is $61\cdot 32 + 33 \cdot 60 = \boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 3932}$.
有 61 条垂直线，每条长 32 根牙签，还有 33 条水平线，每条长 60 根牙签，因为 32 和 60 是间隔数。你可以用更小的例子验证，例如 $3 \times 4$ 牙签网格，有 $3 \times 3$ 和 $2 \times 4$。 因此，总数是 $61\cdot 32 + 33 \cdot 60 = \boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 3932}$。
Q23
Angle $ABC$ of $\triangle ABC$ is a right angle. The sides of $\triangle ABC$ are the diameters of semicircles as shown. The area of the semicircle on $\overline{AB}$ equals $8\pi$, and the arc of the semicircle on $\overline{AC}$ has length $8.5\pi$. What is the radius of the semicircle on $\overline{BC}$?
$\triangle ABC$ 的 $\angle ABC$ 是直角。$\triangle ABC$ 的边是示意中的半圆的直径。半圆 $\overline{AB}$ 的面积等于 $8\pi$，半圆 $\overline{AC}$ 的弧长为 $8.5\pi$。半圆 $\overline{BC}$ 的半径是多少？

Correct Answer: B
If the semicircle on $\overline{AB}$ were a full circle, the area would be $16\pi$. $\pi r^2=16 \pi \Rightarrow r^2=16 \Rightarrow r=+4$, therefore the diameter of the first circle is $8$. The arc of the largest semicircle is $8.5 \pi$, so if it were a full circle, the circumference would be $17 \pi$. So the $\text{diameter}=17$. By the Pythagorean theorem, the other side has length $15$, so the radius is $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 7.5}$
如果 $\overline{AB}$ 上的半圆是全圆，面积将是 $16\pi$。 $\pi r^2=16 \pi \Rightarrow r^2=16 \Rightarrow r=+4$，因此第一个圆的直径是 8。 最大半圆的弧长是 $8.5 \pi$，如果是全圆，周长将是 $17 \pi$。所以直径 = 17。 根据勾股定理，另一边长为 15，因此半径是 $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 7.5}$
Q24
Squares $ABCD$, $EFGH$, and $GHIJ$ are equal in area. Points $C$ and $D$ are the midpoints of sides $IH$ and $HE$, respectively. What is the ratio of the area of the shaded pentagon $AIJCB$ to the sum of the areas of the three squares?
正方形 $ABCD$、$EFGH$ 和 $GHIJ$ 面积相等。点 $C$ 和 $D$ 分别是边 $IH$ 和 $HE$ 的中点。阴影五边形 $AIJCB$ 的面积与三个正方形面积之和的比是多少？

Correct Answer: C
Let point X be the point that intersects line EI. We can split our original triangle into trapezoid ABCX and triangle XIJ. WLOG (Without Loss Of Generality), AB equals 1 unit. Then since, X is the midpoint of line AJ, and point A is 1.5 units horizontally from J, the midpoint X will be 0.75 units away horizontally from A and thus 0.25 units horizontally from C. Therefore XC equals 0.25 units. Using the area formulas for trapezoids and triangles, we calculate the area of ABCX to be 0.625 and XIJ to be 0.375. The combined areas (which are equivalent to our original triangle) equal 1. Therefore, the ratio of the area of the hexagon to the three squares is 1:3 because the area of the three squares is 3. The answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ \frac {1}{3}}$-~TheNerdwhoIsNerdy. Edits for Clarity and Accuracy by RamanujanIsBetter
设点 X 为直线 EI 的交点。我们可以将原三角形分成梯形 ABCX 和三角形 XIJ。假设 AB 长为 1 单位。由于 X 是线段 AJ 的中点，点 A 距 J 水平 1.5 单位，因此中点 X 距 A 水平 0.75 单位，距 C 水平 0.25 单位。因此 XC = 0.25 单位。使用梯形和三角形的面积公式，计算 ABCX 面积为 0.625，XIJ 面积为 0.375。总面积（相当于原三角形）为 1。因此，六边形面积与三个正方形的比为 1:3，因为三个正方形面积总和为 3。答案是 $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ \frac {1}{3}}$。
Q25
A ball with diameter 4 inches starts at point A to roll along the track shown. The track is comprised of 3 semicircular arcs whose radii are $R_1 = 100$ inches, $R_2 = 60$ inches, and $R_3 = 80$ inches, respectively. The ball always remains in contact with the track and does not slip. What is the distance in inches the center of the ball travels over the course from A to B?
一个直径为 4 英寸的球从点 A 开始沿所示轨道滚动。轨道由 3 个半圆弧组成，半径分别为 $R_1 = 100$ 英寸、$R_2 = 60$ 英寸和 $R_3 = 80$ 英寸。球始终与轨道接触且不打滑。从 A 到 B 的过程中，球心行进的距离是多少英寸？
stem
Correct Answer: A
The total length of all of the arcs is $100\pi +80\pi +60\pi=240\pi$. Since we want the path from the center, the actual distance will be subtracted by $2\pi$ because it's already half the circumference through semicircle A, which needs to go half the circumference extra through semicircle B, and it's already half the circumference through semicircle C, and the circumference is $4\pi$ Therefore, the answer is $240\pi-2\pi=\boxed{\textbf{(A)}\ 238\pi}$. Video Solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZGuBFyiQrk by WhyMath
所有弧的总长度是 $100\pi +80\pi +60\pi=240\pi$。由于要计算球心的路径，需要减去 $2\pi$，因为它已经通过半圆 A 的半周长，需要额外通过半圆 B 的半周长，已经通过半圆 C 的半周长，周长为 $4\pi$。因此，答案是 $240\pi-2\pi=\boxed{\textbf{(A)}\ 238\pi}$。
