You’ve studied and now you’re geared up for the ACT math section (whoo!). But are you ready to take on the most challenging math questions the ACT has to offer? Do you want to know exactly why these questions are so hard and how best to go about solving them? If you’ve got your heart set on that perfect score (or you’re just really curious to see what the most difficult questions will be), then this is the guide for you.
We’ve put together what we believe to be the most 21 most difficult questions the ACT has given to students in the past 10 years, with strategies and answer explanations for each. These are all real ACT math questions, so understanding and studying them is one of the best ways to improve your current ACT score and knock it out of the park on test day.
Brief Overview of the ACT Math Section
Like all topic sections on the ACT, the ACT math section is one complete section that you will take all at once. It will always be the second section on the test and you will have 60 minutes to completed 60 questions.
The ACT arranges its questions in order of ascending difficulty. As a general rule of thumb, questions 1-20 will be considered “easy,” questions 21-40 will be considered “medium-difficulty,” and questions 41-60 will be considered “difficult.”
The way the ACT classifies “easy” and “difficult” is by how long it takes the average student to solve a problem as well as the percentage of students who answer the question correctly. The faster and more accurately the average student solves a problem, the “easier” it is. The longer it takes to solve a problem and the fewer people who answer it correctly, the more “difficult” the problem.
(Note: we put the words “easy” and “difficult” in quotes for a reason—everyone has different areas of math strength and weakness, so not everyone will consider an “easy” question easy or a “difficult” question difficult. These categories are averaged across many students for a reason and not every student will fit into this exact mold.)
All that being said, with very few exceptions, the most difficult ACT math problems will be clustered in the far end of the test. Besides just their placement on the test, these questions share a few other commonalities. We'll take a look at example questions and how to solve them and at what these types of questions have in common, in just a moment.
But First: Should You Be Focusing on the Hardest Math Questions Right Now?
If you’re just getting started in your study prep, definitely stop and make some time to take a full practice test to gauge your current score level and percentile. The absolute best way to assess your current level is to simply take the ACT as if it were real, keeping strict timing and working straight through (we know—not the most thrilling way to spend four hours, but it will help tremendously in the long run). So print off one of the free ACT practice tests available online and then sit down to take it all at once.
Once you’ve got a good idea of your current level and percentile ranking, you can set milestones and goals for your ultimate ACT score. If you’re currently scoring in the 0-16 or 17-24 range, your best best is to first check out our guides on using the key math strategies of plugging in numbers and plugging in answers to help get your score up to where you want it to. Only once you've practiced and successfully improved your scores on questions 1-40 should you start in trying to tackle the most difficult math problems on the test.
If, however, you are already scoring a 25 or above and want to test your mettle for the real ACT, then definitely proceed to the rest of this guide. If you’re aiming for perfect (or close to), then you’ll need to know what the most difficult ACT math questions look like and how to solve them. And luckily, that’s exactly what we’re here for.

Step-by-step explanation:
A spinner with seven equal sized sections was used to play a game It was used 250 times in the first game Of those 250 the arrow landed on section 7 a total of 35 times The same spinner was used 150 times in the second game How many times did the spinner most likely land on section 7 in the second game A. 14 B. 21 C. 30 D. 35
Answer: 21
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, a spinner with seven equal sized sections was used in playing a game. The spinner was used 250 times in the first game and the arrow landed on section 7 a total of 35 times. This can be expressed as:
= 35/250
= 0.14
The same spinner was also used 150 times in the second game. The number of times the spinner will most likely land on section 7 in the second game will be:
= 0.14 × 150
= 21
The spinner most likely land on section 7 in the second game for 21 times.

Step-by-step explanation: if you heard of the line equals line method this should be able to help you.
299.75 25%
---------------=------------------
$1199 100%
so you cross multiply 1199 and 25 and then divide it by 100. which would be 299.75 that is the price per 1 year then you divide that value by 4 and that will be your answer.
299.75 divided by 4= 74.93
hope this helps
Answer:
379.37
Step-by-step explanation:
I just did it the manual way
1199-25%=899.25
(25% of 1199 is 299.75)
899.25-25%=674.44
(25% of 899.25 is 224.81)
674.44-25%=505.83
(25% of 674.44 is 168.61)
505.83-25%= 379.37
(25% of 505.83 is 126.5)

Which statement about liters and milliliters is true?
Answer:
Lesson Summary
A milliliter is a metric unit used to measure capacity that's equal to one-thousandth of a liter. Capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold. One liter contains 1,000 milliliters, so to convert liters to milliliters you multiply the number of liters times 1,000.
Look at the equivalent metric units of capacity. When converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit, multiply by 1,000. When converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide by 1,000. Liters are larger than milliliters, so multiply by 1,000.

The area of one of the smaller circles is 8/ in². Find the area of the shaded region.
A. pi in.²
B. 4 pi in.²
C. 8 pi in.²
D. 16 pi in.²
The answer is D btw i just submitted my quiz
Answer:
Area of shaded region = 16π in² (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete without the diagram if the circles. Find attached the diagram used in solving the question.
Area of the smaller circle = 8π in²
Area of a circle = πr²
πr² = 8π
r² =8
r = √8 = 2√2
From the diagram, there are two smaller circles in a bigger circle.
The radius of the bigger circle (R) is 2times the radius of the smaller circle (r)
R = 2r
Area of bigger circle = πR²
= π×(2r)² = π×(2×2√2)²
= π×(4√2)² = π×16×(√2)²
Area of bigger circle = π×16×2
Area of bigger circle = 32π in²
Since there are two smaller circles in a bigger circle
Area of shaded region = Area of bigger circle -2(area of smaller circles)
Area of shaded region = 32π in² - 2(8π in²)
Area of shaded region = 32π in² - 16π in²
Area of shaded region = 16π in²

The triangular sides have a base of 12 meters and height of 8 meters. The prism has a height of 12 meters. Which statements are true about the greenhouses? Select two options.
Question:
Anderson’s Nursery was choosing between two different greenhouses.
2 greenhouses have a rectangular prism base with a length of 12 meters, width of 12 meters, and height of 10 meters.
Greenhouse 1 has a square pyramid top with a base of 12 meters by 12 meters and height of 8 meters.
Greenhouse 2 has a triangular prism top. The triangular sides have a base of 12 meters and height of 8 meters. The prism has a height of 12 meters.
Which statements are true about the greenhouses? Select two options.
A) The space inside greenhouse 1 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-half (12) (12) (8).
B) The space inside greenhouse 1 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-third (12) (12) (8).
C) The space inside greenhouse 2 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-half (12) (12) (8).
D) The space inside greenhouse 2 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-third (12) (12) (8).
E) The space inside greenhouse 1 is 192 meters cubed greater than the space inside greenhouse 2.
Answer:
Options B & C are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that both greenhouses have a rectangular prism base with a length of 12 meters, width of 12 meters, and height of 10 meters.
L = 12 m
w = 12 m
h = 10 m
To find the volume of this rectangular prism, let's use the formula:
V = w*h*l
V = 12 * 12 * 10
V = 1440 m³
Then, greenhouse 1 has a square pyramid top with a base of 12 meters by 12 meters and height of 8 meters.
b = 12 x 12
h = 8
The volume of a square pyramid formula is:
V = ⅓*a²h
V = ⅓*12²*8
V = 384 m³
To find the total volume of greenhouse 1, let's add the volume of the rectangular prism and the square pyramid.
V = 12*12*10 + ⅓*12²*8
V = 1440 + 384 = 1824m³
Therefore, the space inside greenhouse 1 is 1824m³
Similarly, greenhouse 2 has a triangular prism top. The triangular sides have a base of 12 meters and height of 8 meters. The prism has a height of 12 meters.
b = 12 m
h = 8 m
height of prism = 12 m
To find the volume of a triangular prism, we have:
½*(bh) * h
V = ½(12*8)*12
V = 576 m³
To find the total volume of greenhouse 2, let's add the volume of the rectangular prism and the triangular prism.
V = (12 * 12 * 10) + (½(12*8)*12)
V = 1440 + 576
V = 2016 m³
Therefore, the space inside greenhouse 2 is 2016m³
From the calculations above the correct options would be:
(B) The space inside greenhouse 1 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-third (12) (12) (8).
(C) The space inside greenhouse 2 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-half (12) (12) (8).
Options A, D and E are wrong.
Option E is wrong because the space inside greenhouse 1 is (1824-2016 = -192) 192 meters cubed lesser than the space inside greenhouse 2.
Answer:
THE ANSWERS ARE.... B AND C
B: The space inside greenhouse 1 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-third (12) (12) (8).
C: The space inside greenhouse 2 can be found using the equation V = 12 (12) (10) + one-half (12) (12) (8).

can net worth be negative?
Answer:
our net worth can tell you many things. If the figure is negative, it means you owe more than you own. If the number is positive, you own more than you owe. ... Negative net worth does not necessarily indicate that you are financially irresponsible; it just means that – right now – you have more liabilities than assets
Step-by-step explanation:
hope it help
Yes, of course. A good fraction of the people on earth owe more than they own, so have negative net worth.
In the USA about 14% of the households have negative net worth. I would have guessed that credit card debt was the culprit, but it's mostly student loans that drag folks into this category.

Answer:
The area which would be painted grey will be "47.7812 ft²".
Step-by-step explanation:
The given values are:
Radius of circle, r = 5.4 feet
Value of pi, π = 3.14
As we know,
Area of Semicircle = [tex]\frac{\pi r^2}{2}[/tex]
On putting the values in the above formula, we get

Determine the nth term formula for each of the following sequences and find the limit if it exists.
3, 3,-3, 3,
Answer:
aₙ = (-3) (-1)ⁿ⁻¹
limit does not exist
Step-by-step explanation:
-3, 3, -3, 3, ...
This is an alternating geometric series where the first term is -3 and the common ratio is -1. The nth term is therefore:
aₙ = (-3) (-1)ⁿ⁻¹
Since the sequence alternates between -3 and 3, the limit as n approaches infinity of aₙ does not exist.

The diagram shows a right-angled triangle and a parallelogram.
24 cm side of triangle
30 cm base of parallelogram
7cm base of triangle
The area of the parallelogram is 5 times the area of the triangle.
The perpendicular height of the parallelogram is hcm.
(b) Find the value of h.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
i know this is very late but ..
area of triangle= b*h/2
24*7/2=84
and it said the parallelogram is 5 times the area so we do
84*5=420 which is the total area of the parallelogram
now to find h we need to do
420/30=14
h=14 because 30*14=420
The required value of h is 14 cm for the given parallelogram.
What is Parallelogram?A parallelogram is defined as a special type of quadrilateral that has both pairs of opposite sides parallel and equal.
The area of the triangle is (247)/2 = 84 square cm.
Since the area of the parallelogram is 5 times the area of the triangle, the area of the parallelogram is 845 = 420 square cm.
The area of the parallelogram is equal to the base (30 cm) multiplied by the height (h cm), so we can set up the equation:
30h = 420
To find the value of h, we can divide both sides of the equation by 30:
h = 420/30
h = 14 cm
Thus, the required value of h is 14 cm.
