Answer: E
Solution:
Consider subtracting 1 from each of the fractions. Our new fractions would then be 4/11, 4/15, 4/13. Since 4/15 < 4/13 < 4/11, it follows that the answer is E.中文解析：
15/11=1+4/11；19/15=1+4/15；17/13=1+4/13.4/11 大于4/13， 大于4/15. 因此 15/11 > 17/13 > 19/15. 答案是E。 Problem 4
Answer: D
Solution:
Each side of the rhombus is 52/4=13. Let the diagonals BD and AC intersect at E. In a rhombus, diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other, which means AE=12. Consider one of the right triangles ABE. AB=13, AE=12. Using Pythagorean theorem, we find that BE=5.Thus the values of the two diagonals are 24, 10. The area of a rhombus is =d1*d2/2=24*10/2=120.
中文解析：
菱形的四条边长度相同，周长是52， 因此边长是52/4=13.菱形的两条对角线互相垂直平分。在直角三角形中ABE中， AE=24/2=12. AB=13， 根据勾股定理， BE=5. 因此BD=5*2=10.根据菱形面积公式， 菱形面积等于两条对角线相乘，除以2. 因此面积是：24*10/2=120.答案是D。 Problem 5

Answer: B
Solution:
We first start by setting the total number of points as 28, since LCM(4,7)=28. However, we see that this does not work since we surpass the number of points just with the information given (28/4+28*2/7+15>28). Next, we assume that the total number of points scored is 56. With this, we have that Alexa, Brittany, and Chelsea score: 56/4+56*2/7+15=45, and thus, the other seven players would have scored a total of 56-45=11.中文解析：
总分的1/4 和2/7都必须是一个整数，因此我们通过求4和7的最小公倍数，28. 先假设总分是28. 那么Alex得了7分， Brittany得了8分， 题目告知Chelsea得了15分， 这三个人合起来已经是30分，超过总分28了，因此总分不能是28，我们假设总分是28*2，即56分。则A得了14分， B得了16分，题目告知C得了15分， 则，三人共得了45分，还剩下11分。即是题目所求的另外7个team的分数的总和。答案是B。 Problem 24
Answer: B
Solution:
Extend BD to G such that AG // BC. Then ADG similar with BDC; BEF similar with AEG. Since CD= 2 AD, CDB has 4 times the area of ADG. Since area of CBD is 240, then ADG=60. Area of ABD is 120, AED and ABE have the same height and BE=ED, thus area of AED=120/2=60. Since the area of AED=60, area of ADG=60, we have ED =DG . Thus triangle AEG has twice the side lengths and therefore four times the area of triangle EFF, giving BEF=120/4=30.中文解析：
