Alice is making a batch of cookies and needs 2122\frac{1}{2} cups of sugar. Unfortunately, her measuring cup holds only 14\frac{1}{4} cup of sugar. How many times must she fill that cup to get the correct amount of sugar?

88

1010

1212

1616

2020

Answer: B
Solution:

We just need to divide the total amount of sugar needed by the amount of sugar that the cup holds.

Therefore, She will need to refill the cup 21214=525=10 \dfrac{2\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{4}} = \dfrac{5}{2} \cdot 5 = 10 times.

Thus, B is the correct answer.

77

88

Answer: E
Solution:

We have by the formula for the area of a triangle that 40=1210BE. 40 = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot BE. This gives us 40=5BE 40 = 5BE BE=8. BE = 8. Thus, E is the correct answer.

A softball team played ten games, scoring 1,1, 2,2, 3,3, 4,4, 5,5, 6,6, 7,7, 8,8, 9,9, and 1010 runs. They lost by one run in exactly five games. In each of their other games, they scored twice as many runs as their opponent. How many total runs did their opponents score?

3535

4040

4545

5050

5555

Answer: C
Solution:

Note that if they scored twice as many runs as their opponents, then they scored an even number of runs.

This means in the games where they scored 2,4,6,8,2, 4, 6, 8, and 1010 runs, their opponents scored 1,2,3,4,1, 2, 3, 4, and 55 runs respectively.

This sums to 1+2+3+4+5=15. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15.

In the other games, their opponents scored 2,4,6,8,2, 4, 6, 8, and 1010 runs.

This sums to 2+4+6+8+10=30. 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 30.

The total number of runs is then 15+30=45. 15 + 30 = 45. Thus, C is the correct answer.

5.

Tom, Dorothy, and Sammy went on a vacation and agreed to split the costs evenly. During their trip Tom paid $105, Dorothy paid $125, and Sammy paid $175. In order to share costs equally, Tom gave Sammy tt dollars, and Dorothy gave Sammy dd dollars. What is td?t-d?

1515

2020

2525

3030

3535

Answer: B
Solution:

The total amount they paid was $105 + $125 + $175 = $405. This means that each should pay $405 \div 3 = $135. This means that Tom has to pay $30 more, and Dorothy has to pay $10 more.

Then t=30,t = 30, d=10,d = 10, and therefore, td=20.t - d = 20.

Thus, B is the correct answer.

6.

Joey and his five brothers are ages 3,3, 5,5, 7,7, 9,9, 11,11, and 13.13. One afternoon two of his brothers whose ages sum to 1616 went to the movies, two brothers younger than 1010 went to play baseball, and Joey and the 55-year-old stayed home. How old is Joey?

33

77

99

1111

1313

Answer: D
Solution:

The two pairs of ages that add to 1616 are (3,13) (3, 13) and (7,9). (7, 9).

Note, however, that we need two brothers younger than 10,10, but not the 55-year old, to play baseball.

If the brothers that go to the moves are 77 and 9,9, there are no choices for the brothers that play baseball.

This means that the 33 and 1313 year olds go to the movies, and the 77 and 99 year olds play baseball.

Therefore, Joey is the 1111-year old.

Thus, D is the correct answer.

7.

A student must choose a program of four courses from a menu of courses consisting of English, Algebra, Geometry, History, Art, and Latin. This program must contain English and at least one mathematics course. In how many ways can this program be chosen?

66

88

99

1212

1616

Answer: C
Solution:

There are 22 cases. The first case is the student choose both math classes, the and the second case is they only take one.

Case 1: the student takes both math classes

There are 33 classes left, which means that the student has 33 choices for their final class.

Case 2: the student takes one math class

There are 22 choices for which math class the student takes. Then, there are 33 courses left, from which the students must choose 2.2.

This is the same as choosing which course the student does not take, which can be done in 33 ways.

Therefore, this case contributes 23=62 \cdot 3 = 6 schedules that the student can take.

The total number of configurations in both cases is 3+6=9.3 + 6 = 9.

Thus, C is the correct answer.

8.

20132013

240242^{4024}

Answer: C
Solution:

Factoring out a 22012,2^{2012}, we get: 22012(22+1)22012(221)=53. \dfrac{2^{2012}(2^2 + 1)}{2^{2012}(2^2 - 1)} = \dfrac{5}{3}.

Thus, C is the correct answer.

In a recent basketball game, Shenille attempted only three-point shots and two-point shots. She was successful on 20%20\% of her three-point shots and 30%30\% of her two-point shots. Shenille attempted 3030 shots. How many points did she score?

1212

1818

2424

3030

3636

Answer: B
Solution:

Let xx be the number of two-point shots and yy be the number of three-point shots.

Then, Shenille scores .3x.3x two-points shots and .2y.2y three-point shots, for a total score of 2.3x+3.2y=.6x+.6y. 2 \cdot .3x + 3 \cdot .2y = .6x + .6y.

We know that x+y=30 x + y = 30 .6(x+y)=18. .6(x + y) = 18.

Thus, B is the correct answer.

10.

A flower bouquet contains pink roses, red roses, pink carnations, and red carnations. One third of the pink flowers are roses, three fourths of the red flowers are carnations, and six tenths of the flowers are pink. What percent of the flowers are carnations?

1515

3030

4040

6060

7070

Answer: E
Solution:

Let the total number of flowers be x.x. There are .6x.6x pink flowers and .4x.4x red flowers.

Then there are 13.6x=.2x \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot .6x = .2x pink roses, which means there are .4x.4x pink carnations.

There are also 34.4x=.3x \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot .4x = .3x red carnations. This means there are .3x+.4x=.7x.3x + .4x = .7x carnations. This is 70%70\% of the total flowers.

Thus, E is the correct answer.

11.

A student council must select a two-person welcoming committee and a three-person planning committee from among its members. There are exactly 1010 ways to select a two-person team for the welcoming committee. It is possible for students to serve on both committees. In how many different ways can a three-person planning committee be selected?

1010

1212

1515

1818

2525

Answer: A
Solution:

Let xx be the number of students. Then the number of ways to pick a two-person committee is (x2)=x(x1)2. \binom{x}{2} = \dfrac{x(x - 1)}{2}. We know that this equals 10,10, so x2x=20 x^2 - x = 20 x2x20=0. x^2 - x - 20 = 0. Factoring yields (x5)(x+4)=0 (x - 5)(x + 4) = 0 x=5, x = 5, since there cannot be a negative number of students.

Then, the number of ways to pick a 33-person committee is (53)=(52)=10. \binom{5}{3} = \binom{5}{2} = 10.

Thus, A is the correct answer.

12.

In ABC,\triangle ABC, AB=AC=28AB=AC=28 and BC=20.BC=20. Points D,E,D,E, and FF are on sides AB,\overline{AB}, BC,\overline{BC}, and AC,\overline{AC}, respectively, such that DE\overline{DE} and EF\overline{EF} are parallel to AC\overline{AC} and AB,\overline{AB}, respectively. What is the perimeter of parallelogram ADEF?ADEF?

4848

5252

5656

6060

7272

Answer: C
Solution:

Note that DBEABC\triangle DBE \sim \triangle ABC and FECABC\triangle FEC \sim \triangle ABC due to the parallel lines.

This tells us that DB=DEDB = DE and FE=FC.FE = FC. We have that the perimeter of ADEFADEF is AD+DE+EF+AF AD + DE + EF + AF =AD+DB+FC+AF= AD + DB + FC + AF =AB+AC = AB + AC =56.= 56.

Thus, C is the correct answer.

13.

How many three-digit numbers are not divisible by 5,5, have digits that sum to less than 20,20, and have the first digit equal to the third digit?

5252

6060

6666

6868

7070

Answer: B
Solution:

Note that for the number to not be divisible by 5,5, the units digits cannot be either 00 or 5.5.

Let xx be the hundreds and units digit and yy be the tens digit. Then we want 2x+y<20. 2x + y \lt 20. Casing on the 99 options of x,x, we get:

If xx is 1,2,3,1, 2, 3, or 4,4, then yy can be anything since y<10.y \lt 10.

If x=6,x = 6, then y<8,y \lt 8, which gives us 88 solutions.

If x=7,x = 7, then y<6,y \lt 6, which gives us 66 solutions.

If x=8,x = 8, then y<4,y \lt 4, which gives us 44 solutions.

If x=9,x = 9, then y<2,y \lt 2, which gives us 22 solutions.

This gives us a total of 410+8+6+4+2=60 4 \cdot 10 + 8 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 60 solutions.

Thus, B is the correct solution.

14.

A solid cube of side length 11 is removed from each corner of a solid cube of side length 3.3. How many edges does the remaining solid have?

3636

6060

7272

8484

108108

Answer: D
Solution:

Removing the cubes does not remove any edges from the original cube. It only adds edges.

After removing each cube, we can see that 99 extra edges are added to the solid.

88 cubes are removed, which means 89=728 \cdot 9 = 72 edges are added to the original 1212 edges, for a total of 72+12=8472 + 12 = 84 edges.

Thus, D is the correct answer.

15.

Two sides of a triangle have lengths 1010 and 15.15. The length of the altitude to the third side is the average of the lengths of the altitudes to the two given sides. How long is the third side?

66

88

99

1212

1818

Answer: D
Solution:

Let h1h_1 be the length of the altitude to the side of length 1010 and similarly define h2h_2 for the other given side.

We have that 10h1=15h2 10h_1 = 15h_2 h1=32h2. h_1 = \dfrac{3}{2}h_2.

The third altitude is the average of the other two, which makes its length h2+32h22=54h2. \dfrac{h_2 + \frac{3}{2}h_2}{2} = \dfrac{5}{4}h_2.

Let the third side have length x.x. Then 54h2x=15h2 \dfrac{5}{4}h_2x = 15h_2 x=12. x = 12.

Thus, D is the correct answer.

16.

A triangle with vertices (6,5),(6, 5), (8,3),(8, -3), and (9,1)(9, 1) is reflected about the line x=8x = 8 to create a second triangle. What is the area of the union of the two triangles?

99

283\dfrac{28}{3}

1010

313\dfrac{31}{3}

323\dfrac{32}{3}

Answer: E
Solution:

Let A=(6,5),A = (6, 5), B=(8,3),B = (8, -3), and C=(9,1).C = (9, 1). After reflecting, we get the points E=(7,1)E = (7, 1) and D=(10,5).D = (10, 5).

Note that the area of the union is the area of ABD\triangle ABD minus the area of region F.F.

Sketching this diagram, we get:

The intersection of DE\overline{DE} and AC\overline{AC} occurs at x=8x = 8 due to symmetry. We also get that AC\overline{AC} can be represented as the line y=43x+13.y=-\dfrac{4}{3}x + 13.

Plugging in x=8,x = 8, we get the yy-coordinate to be: \[\begin{align*} y&=-\dfrac{4}{3} \cdot 8 + 13 \\ &= -\dfrac{32}{3} + 13 \\ &=\dfrac{7}{3}. \end{align*}

The area of region FF is then 12(573)4=163. \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot \left(5 - \dfrac{7}{3}\right) \cdot 4 = \dfrac{16}{3}.

Finally, the area of ABD\triangle ABD is 1248163=323. \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 4 \cdot 8 - \dfrac{16}{3} = \dfrac{32}{3}.

Thus, E is the correct answer.

17.

Daphne is visited periodically by her three best friends: Alice, Beatrix, and Claire. Alice visits every third day, Beatrix visits every fourth day, and Claire visits every fifth day.

All three friends visited Daphne yesterday. How many days of the next 365365-day period will exactly two friends visit her?

4848

5454

6060

6666

7272

Answer: B
Solution:

Note that the least common multiple of 3,4,3, 4, and 55 is 60.60.

We can split up the year into 66 6060-day periods, and count the number of times exactly two friends visit.

We have that Alice and Beatrix visit together 60341=51=4 \dfrac{60}{3 \cdot 4} - 1 = 5 - 1 = 4 times. We subtract 11 since on the 6060 th day, all 33 friends visit, which we don't want to count.

Similarly, Alice and Claire visit 60351=41=3 \dfrac{60}{3 \cdot 5} - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3 times and Beatrix and Claire visit 60451=31=2 \dfrac{60}{4 \cdot 5} - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 times. This means that in any 6060-day period, exactly 22 friends visit 4+3+2=9 4 + 3 + 2 = 9 times. There are 66 periods, which means that on 69=546 \cdot 9 = 54 days, exactly 22 friends visit.

Thus, B is the correct answer.

18.

Let points A=(0,0), B=(1,2),A = (0, 0), ~B = (1, 2), C=(3,3), D=(4,0).C=(3, 3),~ D = (4, 0). Quadrilateral ABCDABCD is cut into equal area pieces by a line passing through A.A. This line intersects CD\overline{CD} at point (pq,rs),\left(\dfrac{p}{q}, \dfrac{r}{s}\right), where these fractions are in lowest terms. What is p+q+r+s?p+q+r+s?

5454

5858

7575

Answer: B
Solution:

We begin by finding the are of ABCD.ABCD. To do this, label the point E=(pq,rs)E= (\frac pq, \frac rs) and drop altitudes from BB and CC to the xx-axis as follows:

Looking at the triangle ABX,\triangle ABX, observe that the area is equal to: [ABX]=1212=1[\triangle ABX] = \dfrac 12 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 1 Similarly, looking at the trapezoid XBCY,XBCY, observe that the area is equal to: [XBCY]=12(31)(2+3)=5[XBCY] = \dfrac 12 \left(3-1\right)(2+3) = 5 And lastly, looking at the triangle CYD,\triangle CYD, observe that the area is equal to: [CYD]=12(1)(3)=32[\triangle CYD] = \dfrac 12 (1)(3) = \dfrac 32

Therefore the area of ABCDABCD is equal to: [ABCD]=1+5+32=152[ABCD] = 1+5+\dfrac 32 = \dfrac{15}{2}

The area of ADE\triangle ADE is then 154.\dfrac{15}{4}. This means that the height of this triangle is 124h=154 \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 4h = \dfrac{15}{4} h=158. h = \dfrac{15}{8}.

We have that the slope of CD\overline{CD} is 3,-3, which means that this line can be expressed with y=3x+12. y = -3x + 12. Plugging in the value y=h,y=h, we get 158=3x+12 \dfrac{15}{8} = -3x + 12 x=278. x = \dfrac{27}{8}.

We now have both the xx and yy-coordinates of the intersection point. The desired sum is then 15+27+8+8=58. 15 + 27 + 8 + 8 = 58.

Thus, B is the correct answer.

19.

In base 10,10, the number 20132013 ends in the digit 3.3. In base 9,9, on the other hand, the same number is written as (2676)9(2676)_9 and ends in the digit 6.6. For how many positive integers bb does the base-bb-representation of 20132013 end in the digit 3?3?

66

99

1313

1616

1818

Answer: C
Solution:

Note that the units digit of represents the remainder when the number is divided by the base.

The question then boils down to finding all numbers, b,b, such that 20132013 leaves a remainder of 33 when divided by b.b.

This means that bb must divide 2010.2010. Also note that b4,b \geq 4, since otherwise the remainder cannot be 3.3.

The prime factorization of 20102010 is 2010=23567. 2010 = 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot 67. Then, 20102010 has (1+1)4=24=16 (1 + 1)^4 = 2^4 = 16 factors. It has 33 factors less than 4,4, namely 1,2,1, 2, and 3.3. This means there are 163=1316 - 3 = 13 valid values for b.b.

Thus, C is the correct answer.

20.

A unit square is rotated 4545^\circ about its center. What is the area of the region swept out by the interior of the square?

122+π41 - \dfrac{\sqrt2}{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{4}

12+π4\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{4}

22+π42 - \sqrt2 + \dfrac{\pi}{4}

22+π4\dfrac{\sqrt2}{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{4}

1+24+π81 + \dfrac{\sqrt2}{4} + \dfrac{\pi}{8}

Answer: C
Solution:

The above figure illustrates the region that the square sweeps out. We can find the area of the shaded region by splitting it up.

We have four sectors and eight triangles that we can divide the shaded region into.

Note that two triangle regions can be combined to form a kite, which we can easily find the area of.

The area of the four sectors is half the area of the circle. The radius of the circle can be calculating by realizing that the radius is one half the diameter of the square.

Therefore, r=22 r = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} 12πr2=π4. \dfrac{1}{2} \pi r^2 = \dfrac{\pi}{4}.

One of the diagonals of the kite is r.r. Let the other be x.x.

Then we get the equation x+x2=1 x + x\sqrt{2} = 1 x=21. x = \sqrt{2} - 1.

This equation comes from splitting up a side of the square into x,x, and the legs of two isosceles right triangles whose hypotenuse is x.x.

Finally, the area of all 44 kites is 412(21)22=22. 4 \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot (\sqrt{2} - 1) \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 2 - \sqrt{2}.

The total area is then 22+π4. 2 - \sqrt{2} + \dfrac{\pi}{4}.

Thus, C is the correct answer.

21.

A group of 1212 pirates agree to divide a treasure chest of gold coins among themselves as follows. The kthk^{\text{th}} pirate to take a share takes k12\dfrac{k}{12} of the coins that remain in the chest. The number of coins initially in the chest is the smallest number for which this arrangement will allow each pirate to receive a positive whole number of coins. How many coins does the 12th12^{\text{th}} pirate receive?

720720

12961296

17281728

19251925

38503850

Answer: D
Solution:

Let xx be the number of coins initially in the treasure chest. Note that after the kthk^{\text{th}} pirate, 12kk\dfrac{12 - k}{k} of the coins are left.

This means that x11121012912812712612 x \cdot \dfrac{11}{12} \cdot \dfrac{10}{12} \cdot \dfrac{9}{12} \cdot \dfrac{8}{12} \cdot \dfrac{7}{12} \cdot \dfrac{6}{12} 512412312212112 \cdot \dfrac{5}{12} \cdot \dfrac{4}{12} \cdot \dfrac{3}{12} \cdot \dfrac{2}{12} \cdot \dfrac{1}{12} is an integer.

We want to minimize xx while keeping the above expression an integer. Cancelling out the common factors of the numerator and denominator will tell us what xx needs to be.

After doing this, we get 11575=192511 \cdot 5 \cdot 7 \cdot 5 = 1925 is left in the numerator. If we set xx equal to the resulting denominator, we have that the 1212th pirate gets 19251925 coins.

Thus, D is the correct answer.

Six spheres of radius 11 are positioned so that their centers are at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side length 2.2. The six spheres are internally tangent to a larger sphere whose center is the center of the hexagon. An eighth sphere is externally tangent to the six smaller spheres and internally tangent to the larger sphere. What is the radius of this eighth sphere?

2\sqrt2

32\dfrac{3}{2}

53\dfrac{5}{3}

3\sqrt3

22

Answer: B
Solution:

We can consider the cross-section of the largest sphere that contains all the six smaller spheres.

From this we can see that the radius of the largest sphere is 2+1=3.2 + 1 = 3.

Now to find the radius, r,r, of the eight sphere, we can construct a right triangle connecting the centers of a small sphere, the seventh sphere, and the eight sphere.

The distance between the small sphere and the seventh sphere is 2.2. The other leg is 3r,3 - r, the hypotenuse is 1+r.1 + r.

We can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to get 22+(3r)2=(1+r)2. 2^2 + (3 - r)^2 = (1 + r)^2. Simplifying yields 4+96r=1+2r 4 + 9 - 6r = 1 + 2r 12=8r 12 = 8r r=32. r = \dfrac{3}{2}.

Thus, B is the correct answer.

In ABC,\triangle ABC, AB=86,AB = 86, and AC=97.AC=97. A circle with center AA and radius ABAB intersects BC\overline{BC} at points BB and X.X. Moreover BX\overline{BX} and CX\overline{CX} have integer lengths. What is BC?BC?

1111

2828

3333

6161

7272

Answer: D
Solution:

Let ZZ and YY be the intersections of AC\overline{AC} and the circle as shown in the diagram.

We have that CY=9786=11 CY = 97 - 86 = 11 and CZ=86+97=183. CZ = 86 + 97 = 183.

We can then apply Power of a Point to get CXCB=CYCZ CX \cdot CB = CY \cdot CZ CXCB=11183 CX \cdot CB = 11 \cdot 183 =11361. = 11 \cdot 3 \cdot 61.

Since BXBX and CXCX are integers, we also have that CBCB is an integer. Also, by the Triangle Inequality, BC<86+97=183. BC \lt 86 + 97 = 183.

Using these two facts combined with CX<CB,CX \lt CB, we have that the only pair of values that work is CX=31CX = 31 and BC=61.BC = 61.

Thus, D is the correct answer.

Central High School is competing against Northern High School in a backgammon match. Each school has three players, and the contest rules require that each player play two games against each of the other school's players. The match takes place in six rounds, with three games played simultaneously in each round. In how many different ways can the match be scheduled?

540540

600600

720720

810810

900900

Answer: E
Solution:

Label the players from Central High School A,B,A, B, and C,C, and the players from Northern High School X,Y,X, Y, and Z.Z.

There are 6!2!2!2!=90 \dfrac{6!}{2!2!2!} = 90 ways to figure out the order in which AA plays his matches.

We just need to figure out the order in which BB plays their matches. Then CC's matches are fixed.

WLOG, let the order of matches AA plays be XXYYZZ.XXYYZZ.

To figure out the possible arrangements for B,B, we can case on the positions of XX's and YY's.

If XX goes in the middle two spots, then YY has to go in the last two spots, Otherwise, the ZZ's will overlap.

Similarly, if the XX's go in the last two spots, then there is only spot to put the YY's.

If one XX goes in the middle 2,2, and the other XX goes in the last two, then there are 22 options for the YY's go.

The YY's have 22 options in the first 22 spots and the other is forced to be in the remaining spot in the last 2.2.

There are 222 \cdot 2 ways to place the XX's in the above configuration. There are then a total of 1+1+222=10 1 + 1 + 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 10 ways to determine the schedule for BB's matches.

We then have to multiply by 9090 for the number of configurations for AA's matches.

The total number of ways to order the games is then 9010=900.90 \cdot 10 = 900.

Thus, E is the correct answer.

All 2020 diagonals are drawn in a regular octagon. At how many distinct points in the interior of the octagon (not on the boundary) do two or more diagonals intersect?

4949

6565

7070

9696

128128

Answer: A
Solution:

We can over count the number of intersections and then subtract out the ones we double counted.

Assuming that every set of 44 points contribute one intersection, we have (84)=70 \binom{8}{4} = 70 intersections.

Four diagonals intersect in the center, which means that we need to subtract out (42)1=5 \binom{4}{2} - 1 = 5 because of this. We subtract one since we need to still keep one of them.

As shown in the diagram, multiple lines can also intersect in places such as AD,CG,\overline{AD}, \overline{CG}, and BE.\overline{BE}.

There are 88 of these intersections, which means that we have to subtract out 8((32)1)=16 8 \left(\binom{3}{2} - 1\right) = 16 more intersections.

This means that the total number of intersections is 70516=49. 70 - 5 - 16 = 49.

Thus, A is the correct answer.
