Explanation for Question 8 From the Math (Calc) Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 6

Question eight gives us this table of ice cream and topping selections. 2 It then asks us the table above shows the flavors of ice cream and 3 the toppings chosen by the people at a party. 4 Each person chose one flavor of ice cream and one topping. 5 So one flavor and one topping of the people who chose vanilla ice cream, 6 what fraction shows hot fudge as a topping. 7 So we're only interested in the people who chose vanilla ice cream. 8 And that's because of this first clause that says of the people who chose 9 vanilla ice cream. So we don't even need to worry about the ones that 10 chose chocolate. So just looking at vanilla, 11 they ask what fraction shows hot fudge as a topping. 12 So you can see the eight people chose hot fudge and to get the 13 fraction that shows hot fudge. We want number of hot fudge over 14 total, and the total is going to be the number of hot fudge plus 15 the number of Carmel. So plus number of caramel. 16 So now we've got eight over eight 17 plus five. So we have eight over 13, 18 and that's going to be answered twisty.
