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>

How can you put 32.3 as a mixed number in the simplest form
ludmilkaskok [199]

32.3 is a decimal number in which 3 is the digit at the tenth place.

Mixed number contains a whole number and a fraction part.

32.3 expressed as mixed fraction is 32\frac{3}{10} , here 32 is the whole number  and \frac{3}{10} is the fraction part.

\frac{3}{10} is the fraction in the simplest form.

For this reason, 32.3 expressed as a mixed number in the simplest form is 32\frac{3}{10}.

PLZ HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Kipish [7]

Answer:

the third one

Step-by-step explanation:

bc like there are 2 boxes of 1 and 5 boxes of 1/6 so thats already 2 and 5/6 which applies to all of them. then there is 1 box of 1 and 2 boxes of 1/3 so thats 1 and 1/3 which applies to all of them also but when you make them have the same denominator you get 2 and 5/6 + 1 and 4/6 which deletes the second one. When you add you should get the same denominator so that deletes the first one so then you simplify that and the fraction should still be equal to the unsimplified fraction so you should get 4 and 1/2 if that makes sense
