A formica factory produces square plates with sides measuring $y$ centimetres. These plates are sold in boxes with $N$ units and, on the box, the maximum area $S$ that can be covered by the $N$ plates is specified.
Due to market demand for larger plates, the factory tripled the measurement of the sides of its plates and managed to gather them in a new box, in such a way that the covered area $S$ was not altered.
The quantity $X$, of plates of the new model, in each new box will be equal to:

In a water park there is a children's pool in the shape of a right circular cylinder, 1 m deep and with a volume equal to $12 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$, whose base has radius $\mathbf{R}$ and centre $\mathbf{O}$. It is desired to build a dry leisure island inside this pool, also in the shape of a right circular cylinder, whose base will be at the bottom of the pool and with the centre of the base coinciding with the centre of the bottom of the pool, as shown in the figure. The radius of the leisure island will be $r$. It is desired that after the construction of this island, the space intended for water in the pool has a volume of at least $4 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$.

Ceramics constitute an artefact quite present in the history of humanity. One of its various properties is shrinkage (contraction), which consists of the evaporation of water existing in a ceramic set or block when subjected to a certain elevated temperature. This elevation of temperature, which occurs during the firing process, causes a reduction of up to 20\% in the linear dimensions of a piece.
Suppose that a piece, when moulded in clay, had a rectangular base whose sides measured 30 cm and 15 cm. After firing, these sides were reduced by 20\%.
In relation to the original area, the area of the base of this piece, after firing, was reduced by
(A) $4\%$. (B) $20\%$. (C) $36\%$. (D) $64\%$. (E) $96\%$.
In the United States the unit of volume measurement most used in soft drink cans is the fluid ounce (fl oz), which is equivalent to approximately 2.95 centiliters (cL).

Thus, the volume measurement of the 355 mL soft drink can, in fluid ounces (fl oz), is closest to
(A) 0.83. (B) 1.20. (C) 12.03. (D) 104.73. (E) 120.34.
