Not really distractions but I was new to the process so got a bit tensed initially. I got over it quickly though. 5....

Hi Mitch I get the fact that the answer is D. I was looking at your solution to get a faster route to solve it. However, I don't really understand your explanation of statement 1 which makes it sufficient. Thanks Statement 2: ∠BCO = 40º Here, the following figure is yielded: https://s8.postimg.o...

"So, we can see that none of the primes from 2 to 47 can be factors of h(100)+1, which means the smallest prime factor of h(100)+1 must be greater than 47" However, you initially stated that no factor is common to both h(100) and h(100)+1 except 1, which is not prime. Why then do you say ...

Alternatively,
(√2 + √5)² by approximation
= (1.4 + 2')²
= (3.4')²
≈ 13
Hope it helps

Hi Mitch, I like your second approach if it always works. I have a question on your first approach, please: If I want to assume that every machine produces two units (instead of 1), then 6 machines produce 12 units a day, and 12 x 12= 144 units in 12 days. If I want to produce the 144 units in 8 da...

Hi Turksonaaron, You can use the Percentage Change Formula to determine how much bigger/smaller one number is to another. Percentage Change = (New - Old)/(Old) = Difference/Original When comparing two numbers (such as 7 and 6), we can plug them into the above formula if the percentage change is som...

Hi All, TESTing the ANSWERS is a great way to tackle this question. The "fast" way to solve a problem can still sometimes take time, but regardless of how you approach a prompt, you still need to take notes and stay organized. If we start with Answer C (1/2 foot growth per year), here's w...
