AMC 8数学竞赛专为8年级及以下的初中学生设计，但近年来的数据显示，越来越多小学4-6年级的考生加入到AMC 8级别的考试行列中，而当这些学生能在成绩中取得“A”类标签，则是对孩子数学天赋的优势证明，不管是对美高申请还是今后在数学领域的发展都极其有利！那么接下来跟随小编来看一下AMC 8的官方真题以及官方解答吧：

Problem 9

All of Marcy's marbles are blue, red, green, or yellow. One third of her marbles are blue, one fourth of them are red, and six of them are green. What is the smallest number of yellow marbles that Marcy could have?

$考题9-10 2017 AMC 8$

Solution

The $6$ green marbles and yellow marbles form $1 - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{12}$ of the total marbles. Now suppose the total number of marbles is $x$ . We know the number of yellow marbles is $\frac{5}{12}x - 6$ and a positive integer. Therefore, $12$ must divide $x$ . Trying the smallest multiples of $12$ for $x$ , we see that when $x = 12$ , we get there are $-1$ yellow marbles, which is impossible. However when $x = 24$ , there are $\frac{5}{12} \cdot 24 - 6 = \boxed{\textbf{(D) }4}$ yellow marbles, which must be the smallest possible.

Problem 10

A box contains five cards, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Three cards are selected randomly without replacement from the box. What is the probability that 4 is the largest value selected?

Solution

There are $\binom{5}{3}$ possible groups of cards that can be selected. If $4$ is largest card selected, then the other two cards must be either $1$ , $2$ , or $3$ , for a total $\binom{3}{2}$ groups of cards. Then the probability is just ${\frac{{\binom{3}{2}}}{{\binom{5}{3}}}} = \boxed{{\textbf{(C) }} {\frac{3}{10}}}$
