The answer is B. Because there are 8 ribbons in all. 1 ribbon is black. so the equation would be 1/8. Assuming you don't draw the black ribbon on the first try, then you would try again. The second time you draw a ribbon you don't put the ribbon you drew back in. That means there are only 7 ribbons the second time. The 1 black ribbon is still in the bag than the equation would be 1/7. Then you add the two together. So it would be 1/8 + 1/7 = 1/15. Remember to only add the bottom numbers. not the top ones unless they are different colors or objects.

If the sum of the digits of a number is divided by 2, then the original number is also divisible by 2

Marina CMI [18]

This is true but not for all numbers. Of course you can divide a number by 2 but if it’s an odd number the answer will be a decimal. But for example 24, the two digits are divisible by 2 and so is the original number. But for example 12, the digits aren’t divisible by 2 (the answer is 1.5) but the original number is.

One day, a person went to a horse racing area. Instead of counting the number of humans an horses, he conuted 74 heads and 196 l

BigorU [14]

X = the number of humans and y = the number of horses.

x+y=74
2x+4y=196

Because the number of humans and horses together is 74, and the total number of legs (2 per every human, x, and 4 per every horse, y) is 196. Then, just use elimination to solve.

$-2(x+y=74)\\2x+4y=196\\\\-2x-2y=-148\\2x+4y=196\\\\2y=48\\y=24$

So, now that you have y, you can plug it into the first equation to find x:

$x+y=74\\x+24=74\\x=50$

So, x = 50 and y = 24, so there are 50 humans and 24 horses.
The correct answer is B.
