A bag contains 64 balls of eight different colors. There are eight of each color (including red). What is the smallest number you would have to pick, without looking, to be sure of selecting 3 red balls?
59. The first 56 balls could all be non-red colors. If that happened, you’d have to choose from the 8 remaining balls, all of which would be red.
What is the answer to this math problem:
8 ÷ 2 (2 + 2)
16 or 1, depending.
According to PEMDAS, parentheses come first: 8 ÷ 2 (4)
Then, even though multiplication is first in PEMDAS, you go left to right: 4 (4) = 16
If you got 1, you’re in good company. That’s what I got at first too but most calculators I’ve tried get 16.
I found this at Popular Mechanics and the debate continues online.
