Two intelligent, honest students are sitting together at lunch one day when their math teacher hands them each a card. “your car

ds each have an integer on them,” the teacher tells them. “the product of the two numbers is either 12, 15 or 18. the first to correctly guess the number on the other’s card wins.” the first student looks at her card and says, “i don’t know what your number is.” the second student looks at her card and says, “i don’t know what your number is, either.” the first student then says, “now i know your number.” what number is on the loser’s card?

Answer: The loser's card shows 6.

Explanation: Let's start by naming the first student A and the second student B.
Since the product of A and B are either 12, 15, or 18, let's list every single possibility, the first number being A's number and the second number being B's number.

1     12
1     15
1     18
2     6
2     9
3     4
3     5
3     6
4     3
5     3
6     2
6     3
9     2
12  1
15  1
18  1

Now, the information says that A doesn't know what B has, so we can immediately cross off all of the combinations that have the integer appearing once and once ONLY off, because if it happened once only, A would know of it straight away. Now, our sample space becomes much smaller.

1     12
1     15
1     18
2     6
2     9
3     4
3     5
3     6
6     2
6     3

Using this same logic, we know that we can cross off all of the digits that occur only once in B's column.

2     6
3     6

Now, A definitely knows what number B has because there is only one number left in B. Hence, we can conclude that the loser, B, has the integer 6.

andre [41]
The answer is 12.8 cm³

<span>The volume ( v) of a gas in a container at a constant temperature varies inversely as the pressure (p):
v = k/p
p * v = k  (k - constant)

p1v1 = k
p2v2 = k
So, p1v1 = p2v2

v1 = 24 cm</span>³
p1 = 16 lb
v2 = ?
p2 = 30 lb

24 * 16 = x * 30
384 = x * 30
x = 384 / 30
x = 12.8 cm³

A grain silo is shown below:
expeople1 [14]

Answer: 13750+262=14,012 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!!!

Find the volume of the bottom and top separately and then add them. Cylinder volume is the area of the bottom times the height (22/7)(5^2)•175=13750 ft^3

The volume of a sphere isV=(4/3)(22/7)r^3where r is the radius.  also 5 since it fits on the cylinder. Also we only want half the sphere so useV=(2/3)(22/7)•5^3=261.9 ft^3 round upto 262. Now add  together 13750+262=14,012 ft^3

Hope this helps~!!!!!
