批注[c1]: 2018 AMC10A Problem What is the value of Solution Therefore, the answer is . Problem2 Liliane has more soda than Jacqueline, and Alice has more soda than Jacqueline. What is the relationship between the amounts of soda that Liliane and Alica have? Liliane has more soda than Alice. Liliane has more soda than Alice. Liliane has more soda than Alice. Liliane has more soda than Alice. Liliane has more soda than Alice. Solution 1 1 / 16 Lets assume that Jacqueline has gallon(s) of soda. Then Alice has gallons and Liliane has gallons. Doing division, we find out that , which means that Liliane has more soda. Therefore, the answer is Problem3 A unit of blood expires after seconds. Yasin donates a unit of blood at noon of January 1. On what day does his unit of blood expire? Solution 1 There are seconds that the blood has before expiring and there are seconds in a day. Dividing gives days. days after January 1 is . Problem4 How many ways can a student schedule 3 mathematics courses -- algebra, geometry, and number theory -- in a 6-period day if no two mathematics courses can be taken in consecutive periods? (What courses the student takes during the other 3 periods is of no concern here.) Solution 1 We must place the classes into the periods such that no two classes are in the same period or in consecutive periods. Ignoring distinguishability, we can thus list out the ways that three periods can be chosen for the classes when periods cannot be consecutive: Periods Periods Periods Periods There are ways to place nondistinguishable classes into periods such that no two classes are
