Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Ratio is</u>

  • 7 : 3

<u>Total number is</u>

  • 7x + 3x = 10x

<u>Since F type pencils number is known:</u>

  • 3x = 15
  • x = 15/3
  • x = 5

<u>Then total number is:</u>

  • 10x = 10 *5 = 50

Two intelligent, honest students are sitting together at lunch one day when their math teacher hands them each a card. “your car
Lady bird [3.3K]
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.
