the questions will be completed and answers will be collected
before the next pair is distributed. The time limit for each
set of two problems is six minutes. The first pair of
problems is on the other side of this sheet. When told to do
so, turn the page over and read silently as the problems are
read aloud. Pencils are to be down while the problems are
being read. When instructed to begin, pick up your pencil

and begin working. Record your final answer in the
designated space on the question sheet. All answers must
be complete, legible, and simplified to lowest terms. This
round assumes the use of calculators, and calculations may
also be done on scratch paper, but no other aids are allowed.
If you complete the questions before time is called, use the
time remaining to check your answers.
