If you have 9 marbles and one is heavier than the other 8. How can you use only a balance beam to figure out which is the heavy one if you can only use it twice.
6 antwoorden↳
@qq11, I don't think your answer is right either. The question specifically says the balance beam can only be used twice, so I assume the question is asking how to find the heaviest marble by using the beam twice, not 3 times. You simply just split the 9 marbles into groups of 3. Put two sets on each side of the balance beam, and this will tell you which set has the heavy marble. After that, just take the heavy set of 3 marbles and put 2 of them on the balance beam, and you'll know which marble is the heavy marble. Minder

Ooo and ooo and ooo. First try: Ooo vs ooo => Ooo is heavier. Now take two of those and put one on each scale. If equal than the third is heaviest. If not equal, heavier one is heaviest. OR try ooo vs. ooo. Equal. Repeat step two for the pile that is established to be Ooo. Minder

If the clock is at 9:30, what angle is it at?
5 antwoorden↳
Isn't it 90 + 15 = 105 degrees?
↳
Yea its 105 degrees
↳
It's 90 degrees between 9 and 6 o'clock but the hour hand will move half way towards 10. Since there's 3 hours between the 9 and 6 we can say 1 hour = 90/3 = 30. The initial 90 degrees + the additional (1/2)*30 = 105 degrees. Minder

Given two die, what is the probability that the sum when rolled would add up to six?
4 antwoorden↳
5/36
↳
5/36 is right.... Combinations that add up to six: 1 and 5, 2 and 4, 3 and 3, 4 and 2, 5 and 1. So we have 5 successes. There are 36 individual outcomes because there are 6 sides on each die and 6*6 = 36 So we have 5/36. Minder

100 pennies in a jar. 1 penny has 'heads' on both sides. You pick a penny out of the jar and give it to your friend (without looking at the penny). Your friend flips the penny in the air and gets 7 heads in a row. Which penny do you have? Why?
3 antwoorden↳
Chance of 1 Heads = .5 Chance of 7 heads in a row = (.5)^7 to do this in your head think of fractions... (1/2)^7 = (1/2*1/2=1/4, * 1/2=1/8, * 1/2 = 1/16....if you do it seven times you get 1/128. so you have a better chance to pick out the penny with two heads (1/100) than to get 7 heads in a row (1/128) Minder
↳
99 times out of 100 you take the normal penny. prob that normal penny give 7 heads in a row is 1/128. so, prob that he has special penny is 1/100 / (1/100 + 0.99*1/128) = 56.2% Minder
↳
~56.4% that you have the 2-headed penny.

2 antwoorden↳
should be 135
↳
Angle Problem: The hour hand is halfway between the 10 and 11 and the minute hand is on the 6, so they are 4.5 away and there are 12 total on the clock. 4.5/12 * 360 = 30*4.5 = 45*3 = 135 degrees Minder
