Explanation for Question 33 From the Math (Calc) Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 1
Now number 33 access, according to the line graph above the number of portable 2 media players sold in 2008 is what fraction of that sold in 2011. 3 Right? So we're trying to find the number in 2008 as a fraction of 4 so divided by the number in 2011. 5 So let's look at what the number was in 2008, 6 that's this data point right here. So it looks like it was 100, 7 right? And then we want to also find the number in 2011, 8 go up to 2011. We see that that's one 16. 9 So whenever you have a fraction, you're going to want to simplify it, 10 right? So we can first start by dividing both of these by 10. 11 They both have 10 as a factor. So we get 10 over 16, 12 and then we can simplify that further by dividing both of them by two, 13 and we get five over eight. So the answer number 33 is going to 14 be five over eight because we're simply trying to find a fraction where 2008 15 is a fraction of, or 2008 is put over the number sold in 2011.
