  8. Individual Question – Round #2 Clue Clue: The number is larger than 55. 2013 BHS CalcuSolve

  9. Individual Question – Round #2 Solution The number is 58. Because the number has a remainder when divided by 3 or 4, it cannot be a multiple of 3 or 4. This eliminates: 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 2013 BHS CalcuSolve

  24. Individual Question – Round # 7 Solution Ryan’s brother Josh is 20 years old. Josh = Ryan’s age + 5 years Dad = Ryan’s age x 3 J = R +5 D = R x 3 or 3R R + J + D = 80 years R + (R + 5) + (3R) = 80 years 5R + 5 = 80 years 5R = 75 years R = 15 years J = R + 5 J = 15 + 5 J = 20 years 2013 BHS CalcuSolve

  25. Individual Question – Round # 8 Question In the following problems, the letters A through E each represent a different digit 0 – 9. What is the value of the letter B? D + E = AB D x E = CB D – E = E D ÷ E = B 2013 BHS CalcuSolve

  26. Individual Question – Round # 8 Clue Clue: A = 1 2013 BHS CalcuSolve

  27. Individual Question – Round # 8 Solution B = 2 D + E = AB D x E = CB D – E = E D ÷ E = B Because D – E = E, we know that D must be a double of E. There are only 3 sets of numbers that will fit the criteria of the problem: 8 & 4, 6 & 3, 4 & 2. D + E must equal a 2 digit number that starts with 1, so that eliminates all sets but 8 & 4. 8 + 4 = 12 8 x 4 = 32 8 – 4 = 4 8 ÷ 4 = 2 A = 1; B = 2; C = 3; D = 8; E = 4 2013 BHS CalcuSolve

  28. Group Question – Round # 9 Question Luke rolls three dice numbered from 1-12. What is the probability he will roll a number that is a multiple of 3 AND a factor of 12 on each die if he rolls all 3 at once? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form. 2013 BHS CalcuSolve

  29. Group Question – Round # 9 Solution 1/64 All possible outcomes from one di: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12 Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 Multiple of 3 AND factor of 12: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Probability of rolling one of the bolded numbers on 1 die: 3/12, which simplifies to ¼ Probability of rolling a 3, 6, or 12 on all three dice: ¼ x ¼ X ¼ = 1/64 2013 BHS CalcuSolve
