프린터 X , Y , Z 가 특정 인쇄작업을 하는 데 각각 12시간, 15시간, 18시간이 소요된다고


합니다. 프린터 X 가 특정 작업을 완수하는데 소요되는 시간 대 프린터 Y , Z 가 동시에
작업을 하여 일을 끝내는데 소요되는 시간의 비율을 구하는 문제입니다.
11  1 1
프린터 Y , Z 가 = +  입니다.
동시에 한 시간 내에 할 수 있는 작업의 양은
90  15 18 
90 90
따라서 작업을 완수하는데 시간이 소요됩니다. 시간은 비율은 12 입니다.
11 11

39. The ratio, by volume, of soap to alcohol to water in a certain solution is 2:50:100. The
solution will be altered so that the ratio of soap to alcohol is doubled while the ratio of soap to
water is halved. If the altered solution will contain 100 cubic centimeters of alcohol, how
many cubic centimeters of water will it contain?
(A) 50 (B) 200 (C) 400 (D) 625 (E) 800

비누 : 알코올 : 물 = 2 : 50 : 100 일 때, 알코올에 대한 비누의 비율은 2배가 되도록 물에 대


한 비누의 비율은 1/2배가 되도록 용액이 변했다고 합니다. 변화된 용액에서 알코올이 100
(
cubic centimeters Cm

) 일 때, 물은 몇 cubic centimeters인지 물어 보고 있습니다.
 2 
원래 용액에서의 비누의 비율 대 알코올의 비율은 2 : 50  =  입니다. 비율이 두 배가 되
 50 
 2 
기 위해서는 현재 보다 비누의 양이 2배로 증가  2 ⋅  하면 됩니다. 비누의 비율 대 물의
 50 
비율이 1/2배가 되기 위해서는 물의 양은 2배가 증가해야 됩니다. 비누의 비율 대 알코올의
비율이 2 배가 되기 위해서 이미 비누의 양이 두 배가 증가 했기 때문에 물의 양은 4배가
 2 2× 2 1 
증가해야 합니다.  → =  새로운 용액에서의 비율은 “비누 : 알코올 : 물
 100 100 × 4 100 
= 4 : 50 : 400”입니다. 알코올이 100 cubic centimeters이므로 물은 800cubic centimeters입니다.

GRE Math 강좌 Set 4

40. Tom and Carlos begin to play a series of four games with 400 chips each. At the end of each
game, there is a loser who must surrender half of his chips to the winner. If Tom wins only
the first and third games, how many chips does he have after the pay-off at the end of the
fourth game?
(A) 200
(B) 275
(C) 400
(D) 525
(E) 550

Tom과 Carlos는 각자 400개의 칩을 가지고 4경기를 시작합니다. 매 경기 패자가 승자에게


자신이 가진 칩의 절반을 줄 때, Tom이 첫 번째, 세 번째 게임만을 이겼을 경우 Tom이 4
경기가 끝난 후 갖게 되는 칩의 개수를 물어 보고 있습니다.
Tom이 매 경기 후 갖게 되는 칩의 개수는 다음과 같습니다.(두 사람이 가지고 있는 칩의 개
수는 총 800개 입니다. 따라서 “800 – Tom이 갖고 있는 칩의 개수”가 Carlos가 가지고 있는
칩의 개수 입니다.)

첫 번째 경기 두 번째 경기 세 번째 경기 네 번째 경기
600개 300개 550개 275개
+ 200(승리) -300(패배) +250(승리) -275(패배)
