Explanation:
In the 1980s, none of the years were divisible by 11 because the closest multiple of 11 to the beginning of the decade (1980) is 1979, and the closest multiple of 11 to the end of the decade (1989) is 1980. Since neither of these years are divisible by 11, none of the years in the 1980s are divisible by 11.

If A's probability of winning is twice B's, and B's is twice C's, what's the probability of A winning?
Hide Answer
Answer:
04/Jul
Explanation:
The probability of A winning can be calculated by first setting up a ratio based on the information given. Since A's probability is twice B's and B's is twice C's, the ratio of A:B:C would be 4:2:1. To find the probability of A winning, you would add up all the parts of the ratio (4+2+1 = 7) and then divide A's part by the total parts (4/7). Therefore, the probability of A winning is 4/7.

What is the probability of throwing a seven with two regular six-sided dice?
Hide Answer
Answer:
1 out of 6
Explanation:
When rolling two regular six-sided dice, there are a total of 36 possible outcomes (6 sides on the first die multiplied by 6 sides on the second die). Out of these 36 outcomes, there are 6 ways to roll a seven (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1). Therefore, the probability of rolling a seven is 6 out of 36, which simplifies to 1 out of 6.

70% like red and 60% like blue; what's the smallest possible percentage that likes both?
Hide Answer
Answer:
30%
Explanation:
The smallest possible percentage that likes both red and blue can be determined by finding the difference between the total percentage of people who like red (70%) and the total percentage of people who like blue (60%). This calculation results in 30%, which represents the smallest possible percentage that likes both red and blue.

If you drive to the store at 20 mph and return at 30 mph, what was your average speed?
Hide Answer
Answer:
24 Mph
Explanation:
To calculate the average speed, you would typically find the total distance traveled and divide it by the total time taken. In this case, since the distances to and from the store are the same, the average speed can be calculated by taking the harmonic mean of the two speeds. The harmonic mean of 20 mph and 30 mph is 24 mph, which means the average speed for the entire trip is 24 mph.

A is five times as old as B; in two years, A will be three times as old; how old will A be in seven years?
Hide Answer
Answer:
17
Explanation:
In two years, A will be three times as old as B, which means currently A is two years older than three times B's age. This implies that currently A is five times as old as B. Therefore, if A is currently five times as old as B and B's age is x, then A's age is 5x. In seven years, A will be 5x + 7 years old. Given that A is currently 5x years old, we can substitute the value of x into the equation to find A's age in seven years.

How many 99% fat-free potato chips can be eaten for the same amount of fat as one regular chip?
Hide Answer
Answer:
100
Explanation:
The question is asking how many 99% fat-free potato chips can be consumed to equal the amount of fat in one regular chip. Since the 99% fat-free chips contain only 1% fat, it would take 100 of them to equal the fat content of one regular chip. This is because each 99% fat-free chip has only 1% of the fat content of a regular chip, so 100 of them would add up to the same amount of fat as one regular chip.
