Answer: the winning strategy is to take 1 chip, leaving our opponent with  the losing position of 5 chips.

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose we start with 6 chips.

* If we take 1 chip, we leave our opponent with 5 - which we showed  

  was a losing position for him.

* If we take 2 chip (leaving 4), our opponent will take 3 - we lose.

* If we take 3 chip (leaving 3), our opponent will take 2 - we lose.

So our winning strategy is to take 1 chip, leaving our opponent with  

the losing position of 5 chips.

Molly runs each morning once around a circular path in her neighborhood. if the diameter of the path is 1.4 miles, how far does
Lemur [1.5K]
To work out the distance of the path, you need to find out the circumference.
Formula for circumference = pi multiplied by the diameter

So you simply do:
pi multiplied by 1.4 miles

And you should get:
4.39822971503... miles

Simply round the result to an appropriate value (e.g. 3 decimal places).

Answer: 4.398 miles (to 3dp)
Hope the answer helps :)
