1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • According to the question, the right combination of 2 wires cut (out of the 4 wires ) will defuse the bomb. To find all the possible combinations we using the following formulae;

nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!

⁴₂C = 4! / 2! * (4-2)!

⁴₂C = 24 / 2 * 2

⁴₂C = 6

  • There are a possible 6 combinations
  • Therefore for probability of cutting the right combination of 2 wires is 1/6

16. Jerome is a co-owner of a small company and received 1/3 of the company’s profits this year. What were the company’s overall
AlekseyPX
Remark
The trick to this question is realizing what you took 1/3 of. Did you take it of the 150000 or is it 1/3 of some total you have to find. I don't think you could come up with a third choice. 

It turns out that the answer is 1/3 of a number you don't know.

Equation
(1/3) x = 150000 Multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3) x = 150000 * 3
x = 150000 * 3
x = 450000

Conclusion
The amount the company makes is 450000 dollars / year.
