Question 11

Two eight-sided dice each have faces numbered through . When the dice are rolled, each face has an equal probability of appearing on the top. What is the probability that the product of the two top numbers is greater than their sum?

Solution

The total # of outcomes of rolling the 2 dices is 8*8 = 64
Suppose m and n are the 2 top numbers, we have:
m*n > m+n
m*n - m - n > 0
m*n - m - n + 1> 1
(m-1)*(n-1) > 1
Ask yourself the question: when will (m-1)*(n-1) <= 1?
When m=1 (8 cases), or n=1 (8 cases), or m and n are both 2 (1 case).
Therefore, there are 16 cases when product of the two top numbers is NOT greater than their sum.
Therefore, there are 64-16 = 48 cases when product of the two top numbers is greater than their sum.
Now you can get your probability.

Question 13

In the United States, coins have the following thicknesses: penny, mm; nickel, mm; dime, mm; quarter, mm. If a stack of these coins is exactly mm high, how many coins are in the stack?

Solution

First, convert decimals to integers:
Penny= 155, nickel = 195, dime = 135, quarter = 175, and stack height = 1400.

We can use dime as base:
penny = 135 + 20
nickel = 135 + 60
quarter = 135 + 40

So suppose total # of coins is n, we will have:

1. 1400 = 135 * n + 0*Kd + 20*Kp + 40*Kq+ 60*Kn
2. n = Kd + Kp + Kq + Kn

n must be even number. So to solve this problem, all you need to do is to see which one - 8 or 10 is correct, understanding that #1 and #2 above must be met.

Question 14

A bag initially contains red marbles and blue marbles only, with more blue than red. Red marbles are added to the bag until only of the marbles in the bag are blue. Then yellow marbles are added to the bag until only of the marbles in the bag are blue. Finally, the number of blue marbles in the bag is doubled. What fraction of the marbles now in the bag are blue?

Solution

Since before we double the number of blue, 1/5 of the marbles in the bag are blue, this means that there were x blue and 4x other marbles. When we double the number of blue, there will be 2x blue and 4x other marbles, hence blue marbles now form 2x : (2x+4x) = 2/6 = 1/3 of all marbles in the bag.

Question 15

Patty has coins consisting of nickels and dimes. If her nickels were dimes and her dimes were nickels, she would have cents more. How much are her coins worth?

Solution

All you need to do is to solve the N and D variables in the following equations:
20 = N + D
70 + 10*D + 5*N = 10*N + 5*D
