# 1.2: Practice Questions

Created by: CK-12

Directions: The following question (1) is an example of a grid-in math problem. On the SAT, you will solve the problem and indicate your answer by darkening the ovals on the special grid provided. Since you do not have this type of answer sheet to practice on, simply write your response. For more information about grid-in questions, please visit sat.collegeboard.com/practice/sat-practice-questions-math/student-produced-response.

1. (Numbers and Operations) — The average of five positive odd numbers is $73$. If $x$ is the greatest of these integers, what is the greatest possible value of $x$?

Directions: For this section, solve each problem and decide which is the best of the choices given. You may use any available space for scratchwork.
