(Use the Venn Diagram above to answer the question. The black circle represents all Smaugs, the red circle represents all Toogs, and the green circle represents all Ficks.) What does region "d" represent?

Things that are only Smaugs

Things that are Smaugs andToogs but not Ficks

Things that are Toogs and Ficks but not Smaugs

Things that are Smaugs and Ficks but not Toogs

Region "d" represents things that are Smaugs and Ficks but not Toogs. This is because region "d" is the intersection between the black circle (representing Smaugs) and the green circle (representing Ficks), but it does not overlap with the red circle (representing Toogs). Therefore, it includes only the elements that are both Smaugs and Ficks, excluding any elements that are also Toogs.

19.

Assume that the red and blue blobs are two pieces that form the green blob. Also assume that the area of the green blob in square centimeters is three times the area of the red blob. If the area of the green blob is 750 square centimeters, what is the area of the blue blob?

500 square centimeters

250 square centimeters

750 square centimeters

300 square centimeters

The area of the green blob is three times the area of the red blob, which means that the area of the red blob is 750 square centimeters divided by 3, or 250 square centimeters. Since the blue blob is the remaining piece that forms the green blob, its area is equal to the total area of the green blob minus the area of the red blob, which is 750 square centimeters minus 250 square centimeters, or 500 square centimeters. Therefore, the area of the blue blob is 500 square centimeters.

Explanation

The area of the green blob is three times the area of the red blob, which means that the area of the red blob is 750 square centimeters divided by 3, or 250 square centimeters.

7

9

8

12

Mike is currently 6 years old and his brother's age is half of that, which is 3 years old. To find out when Mike will be one and a half times as old as his brother, we need to determine the age gap between them. Currently, the age gap is 6 - 3 = 3 years. Since the brother's age will remain the same, Mike needs to age by 3 years to make the age gap 4. Therefore, when Mike is 9 years old, he will be one and a half times as old as his brother.

The above piechart represents the results of an election on an alien planet. The candidate, Hum, won the election, receiving five times as many votes as Yab. Pip received 30% of all votes. What percentage of votes did Hum receive?

58.30%

60.20%

Impossible to tell from the data

54.70%

Since the pie chart shows that Pip received 30% of all votes, and Hum received five times as many votes as Yab, we can conclude that Hum received 30% + 5x30% = 30% + 150% = 180% of all votes. However, since the total percentage of votes cannot exceed 100%, we can infer that the pie chart is not accurately representing the data. Therefore, it is impossible to determine the exact percentage of votes that Hum received from the given data.
