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.

Shawn's Breakfast Goodies recently sold 3 blueberry muffins and 3 other muffins. What is the experimental probability that the n
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The experimental probability can be expressed in three ways:

Fraction Form: 3/6 or 1/2

Decimal Form: 0.5

Percent Form: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental probability is expressed as:

<em>(Favorable outcomes) / (Total outcomes)</em>

The favorable outcome in this situation is blubbery muffins. There were 3 blueberry muffins sold, so this is the <u>numerator</u> of our fraction.

To find the total outcomes we add 3 + 3, which equals 6. This will be the <u>denominator</u> of our fraction.

The fraction used to express experimental probability will look like this: 3/6

We can further simplify this to 1/2.

3 ÷ 3 = 1

6 ÷ 3 = 2

To find a decimal, we divide 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5

Multiply this by 100 to get a percentage, 0.5 x 100 = 50%

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Days can Stefan feed

Coco with the oats he has left is 5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Oats = 4 1/2 cups

He uses 3 1/4 cups to make granola bars for

a camping trip

Remaining oats after making granola bars = Total oats - oats used for granola bars

= 4 1/2 - 3 1/4

.= 9/2 - 13/4

= 18-13/4

= 5/4 cups

Remaining oats after making granola bars is 5/4 cups

Coco needs 1/4 of a cup of oats each day, how many days can Stefan feed

Coco with the oats he has left?

Days can Stefan feed

Coco with the oats he has left = Remaining oats / 1/4 cups

= 5/4 cups ÷ 1/4 cups

= 5/4 × 4/1

= 20/4

= 5 days

Days can Stefan feed

Coco with the oats he has left is 5 days
