Three Aztecs are dressing for a football game. They know there are 5 helmets in the locker, 3 black and 2 red. As they are about

to get their helmets, the lights go out. They all decide to just grab a helmet in the dark and head for the field. As they go in single file out into the tunnel, the one in the back says, "I can see both of the helmets in front of me, but I do not know the color of my helmet". The one in the middle says, "I can see the helmet in front of me, but I cannot determine the color of my own". The one leading the pack says, "I can see neither of the helmets behind me but I know the color of my own". How does he do it and what color was the helmet?

We are given that there are:

Black helmets = 3

Red helments = 2

 

Let us start from the guy at the back. The guy at the back can see the two helmets in front of him. If the two helmets in front of him are red, then he can certainly say that his helmet is black since there are only 2 red helmets. Since that is not the case, then therefore he can either be black or red. Therefore this also means that at least 1 of the 2 guys in front of him has black helmet.

<span>Since the remaining two should have at least 1 black, therefore the middle guy can see that the helmet in front of him is not red (so 1st guy is black). Because if the guy in front of him is red, then he can know that he must be black since remember, at least one of the 2 front guys must be black, but the middle guy cannot say that. Therefore the 1st guy knows he has a black helmet.</span>

When josh borrowed money, he originally agreed to repay the loan by making three equal payments of $1500, with a payment due now
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal Amount to be paid=$4500

Interest rate = 2%

Number if Times compounded= number of years

Number of years = x

Among total= $5010

A= p(1+r/n)^(nt)

But n= t =x

A= p(1+r/x)^(x²)

5010=4500(1+0.02/x)^(x²)

5010/4500 = (1+0.02/x)^(x²)

1.11333=( 1+0.02/x)^(x²)

Using trial and error method the number of years maximum to give approximately $5010 is 5 years

Can someone please answer. There is one problem. There is a picture. Thank you!
jonny [76]
SA=4pir^2
78.54km^2=SA
78.54=4pir^2
divide both sides by 4
19.635=pir^2
aprox pi=3.14 so divide both sides by 3.14
6.25318=r^2
sqrt both sides
2.50063=r
round
radius=2.5km

this question is flawed in that it gives the wrong units

answer is the option with 2.5 in it
2nd one
