Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming both players can answer the same question, the minimum number of questions is the smallest number that when multiplied by either 0.60 or 0.80 yields a whole number.

Let x be the number of questions, solving by trial and error:

if\ x=2\\x*0.8=1.6\\x*0.6=1.2\\\\if\ x=3\\x*0.8=2.4\\x*0.6=1.8\\\\if\ x=4\\x*0.8=3.2\\x*0.6=2.4\\\\if\ x=5\\x*0.8=4\\x*0.6=3\\\\

Therefore, the minimum number of questions in the game is 5.

Well, the last digit in the product will only come from the last digits of the numbers that you're multiplying together. So for 0.303 & 4.48, that last digits are 3 & 8 so that last digit in the product would come from
3 \times 8 = 24
So 4. There are only two options that end in 4, 1.35744 & 0.13574. You can by the magnitude of the numbers that it isn't as small as 0.13574 so the answer must be 1.35744.
