if an integer n is to be selected at random from 1 to 99 , inclusive , what is probability n ( n + 1 ) will be divisible by 3 ?
"for n ( n + 1 ) to be a multiple of 3 , either n or n + 1 has to be a multiple of 3 . thus n must be of the form 3 k or 3 k - 1 , but not 3 k + 1 . the probability is 2 / 3 . the answer is d ."

a recipe requires 2 1 / 2 ( mixed number ) cups of flour 2 3 / 4 ( mixed number ) cups of sugar and 1 1 / 3 ( mixed number ) cups of milk to make one cake . victor has 15 cups if flour , 16 cups of sugar and 8 cups of milk . what is the greatest number of cakes william can make using this recipe ?
"less work up front : go through each item and see what the greatest number of cakes you can make with each . the lowest of these will be the right answer . flour : 15 cups , we need 2.5 cups each . just keep going up the line to see how many cakes we can make : that means i can make 2 cakes with 5 cups , so 6 cakes overall with 15 cups . i ' ve already got the answer narrowed to either a or b . sugar : 16 cups , we need 2.75 cups each . same principle . i can make 2 cups with 5.5 cups , so to make 6 cakes i ' d need 16.5 cups . i do n ' t have that much sugar , so we ' re limited to 5 cakes . no need to even do milk because we ' re already at 5 . sugar will be the limiting factor . answer is a"

in a hostel , the number of students decreased by 5 % and the price of food increased by 20 % over the previous year . if each student consumes the same amount of food then by how much should the consumption of food be cut short by every student , so that the total cost of the food remains the same as that of the previous year ?
cost of food ( c ) = food consumed per student ( f ) * number of students ( n ) * price of food ( p ) originally , c = fnp when number of students decrease by 5 % , and the price of food increases by 20 % , c = f ( new ) * ( 0.95 n ) * ( 1.2 p ) = > f ( new ) = f / ( 0.95 * 1.2 ) = > f ( new ) = 0.877 f therefore the new cost of food must be 87.7 % of the old cost , or the cost of food must decrease by 12.28 % ( optionb )

trains a and b start simultaneously from stations 200 miles apart , and travel the same route toward each other on adjacent parallel tracks . if train a and train b travel at a constant rate of 20 miles per hour and 20 miles per hour , respectively , how many miles will train a have traveled when the trains pass each other , to the nearest mile ?
"since we know the distance ( 200 ) and the combined rate ( 40 ) , we plug it into the formula : distance = rate * time 200 = 40 * time we can solve for the time they will meet cause we added the rate of train a and train b together . so the time will be 200 / 40 from dividing 40 on both sides to isolate time in the equation above . time will be 5 hours so now you can plug that in for train a ’ s distance . distance = rate * time distance = 20 * 5 distance = 100 according to answer choice a ."
