Sam and Edna have 56 marbles together. Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam. How many marbles does Sam have?
- A.
8
- B.
12
- C.
32
- D.
46
- E.
49
Correct Answer
A. 8Explanation
Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam, so if we let the number of marbles Sam has be represented by x, then the number of marbles Edna has is 6x. Together, they have 56 marbles, so we can set up the equation x + 6x = 56. Combining like terms, we get 7x = 56. Dividing both sides by 7, we find that x = 8. Therefore, Sam has 8 marbles.Rate this question:

You have just finished typing a confidential letter from the director to the human resources office. The letter confirms that Musonda, your close friend and co-worker, has just been promoted to a new job. Musonda does not yet know of the decision. Which one of the following should you do?
- A.
Congratulate Musonda confidentially.
- B.
Inform just a few of Musonda's close friends.
- C.
Say nothing, and wait for the official announcement.
- D.
Inform Musonda's supervisor and start planning a luncheon.
Correct Answer
C. Say nothing, and wait for the official announcement.Explanation
The correct answer is to say nothing and wait for the official announcement. This is the most appropriate course of action in a professional setting, as it respects the confidentiality of the letter and allows for the official announcement to be made in a proper manner. Informing Musonda confidentially or informing a few close friends would breach confidentiality and could lead to rumors or misunderstandings. Informing Musonda's supervisor and planning a luncheon would also be premature without the official announcement.Rate this question:
