For questions 16 through 20, solve the problem and record your answer in the spaces provided on the answer sheet, as described in the following directions and examples.

1. Although not required, it is suggested that your answer be recorded in the boxes at the top of the columns to help fill in the circles accurately. You will receive credit only if the circles are filled in correctly.

2. Mark no more than one circle in any column.

3. No question has a negative answer.

4. Some problems may have more than one correct answer. In such cases, indicate only one answer.

5. Mixed numbers such as must be recorded as 3.5 or  7/2.

 ( is recorded in the spaces provided on the answer sheet, it will be interpreted as not )

6. Decimal answers: If you obtain a decimal answer with more digits than the spaces on the answer sheet can accommodate, it may be either rounded or truncated, but it must fill all four spaces.

The following are four examples of how to record your answer in the spaces provided. Keep in mind that there are four spaces provided to record each answer.

Examples 1 and 2

Begin skippable figure description.

Example 1: If your answer is a fraction such as seventwelfths, it should be recorded as follows. Enter 7 in the first space, the fraction bar (a slash) in the second space, 1 in the third space, and 2 in the fourth space. All four spaces would be used in this example.

Example 2: If your answer is a decimal value such as 2.5, it could be recorded as follows. Enter 2 in the second space, the decimal point in the third space, and 5 in the fourth space. Only three spaces would be used in this example.

Example 4

Note: You may start your answers in any column, space permitting. Columns you don’t need to use should be left blank.

Begin skippable figure description.

Example 4: It is not necessary to begin recording answers in the first space unless all four spaces are needed. For example, if your answer is 201, you may record 2 in the second space, 0 in the third space, and 1 in the fourth space. Alternatively, you may record 2 in the first space, 0 in the second space, and 1 in the third space. Spaces not needed should be left blank.
