The sizes of the freshmen class and the sophomore class are in the ratio $5:4$. The sizes of the sophomore class and the junior class are in the ratio $7:8$. The sizes of the junior class and the senior class are in the ratio $9:7$. If these four classes together have a total of $2158$ students, how many of the students are freshmen?

How many pounds of meat does she need to make 24 hamburgers for a neighborhood picnic? $\textbf{(A)}\hspace{.05in}6 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\hspace{.05in}6\dfrac23 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\hspace{.05in}7\dfrac12 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\hspace{.05in}8 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\hspace{.05in}9 $

Three distinct real numbers form (in some order) a 3-term arithmetic sequence, and also form (in possibly a different order) a 3-term geometric sequence. Compute the greatest possible value of the common ratio of this geometric sequence.

In a triangle $ABC$ assume $AB = AC$, and let $D$ and $E$ be points on the extension of segment $BA$ beyond $A$ and on the segment $BC$, respectively, such that the lines $CD$ and $AE$ are parallel. Prove $CD \ge \frac{4h}{BC}CE$, where $h$ is the height from $A$ in triangle $ABC$. When does equality hold?

Two positive valued sequences $\{ a_{n}\}$ and $\{ b_{n}\}$ satisfy: (a): $a_{0}=1 \geq a_{1}$, $a_{n}(b_{n+1}+b_{n-1})=a_{n-1}b_{n-1}+a_{n+1}b_{n+1}$, $n \geq 1$. (b): $\sum_{i=1}^{n}b_{i}\leq n^{\frac{3}{2}}$, $n \geq 1$. Find the general term of $\{ a_{n}\}$.

On average, for every 4 sports cars sold at the local dealership, 7 sedans are sold. The dealership predicts that it will sell 28 sports cars next month. How many sedans does it expect to sell? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 7 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 32 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 35 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 49 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 112$

Let $P$ and $Q$ be distinct points in the plane of a triangle $ABC$ such that $AP : AQ = BP : BQ = CP : CQ$. Prove that the line $PQ$ passes through the circumcenter of the triangle.

In scalene $\triangle ABC$, $I$ is the incenter, $I_a$ is the $A$-excenter, $D$ is the midpoint of arc $BC$ of the circumcircle of $ABC$ not containing $A$, and $M$ is the midpoint of side $BC$. Extend ray $IM$ past $M$ to point $P$ such that $IM = MP$. Let $Q$ be the intersection of $DP$ and $MI_a$, and $R$ be the point on the line $MI_a$ such that $AR\parallel DP$. Given that $\frac{AI_a}{AI}=9$, the ratio $\frac{QM} {RI_a}$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$ for two relatively prime positive integers $m,n$. Compute $m+n$.
