Math Question

Well, I really wanted to know the answer to this question. It's a math question in a test to get into a private middle school.

The 4th and 25th person in a circle is across from each other. The circle is evenly spaced out. How many people are in the circle?

Using the information you have, you can go down to knowing that 1 is across from 22. That means there's 21 people on one side. Times that by 2 = 42 people.

What math are you in // what grade are you going into?

If you had trouble with this... it may be a tough uphill battle, pardon my euphemism.

no, i think he just didn't draw it out. i found many math probs where it was hard to figure out without a pen a paper to draw on.

I didn't draw it out and I knew the answer. My picture was just to help explain.
