Question

1 Imagine you throw three hoops over these cones

Add together the number of each
cone you get a hoop on.
You have three throws a turn.
What different totals can you
make on each turn?
30
90
40​

Answer 1

10 different total we can make.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that we have three hoops and three cones of numbers 30, 40 and 90.

We are assuming that if we throw a hoop, it always falls on a cone.

Then the different totals are shown below:

If all three hoops fall on the same cone.

1) 30+30+30=90

2) 40+40+40=120

3) 90+90+90=270

If two out of three hoops fall on the same cone.

4) 30+40+40=110

5) 30+90+90=210

6) 40+30+30=100

7) 40+90+90=220

8) 90+30+30=150

9) 90+40+40=170

If all the hoops fall on the different cone.

10) 30+40+90=160

Hence, 10 different total we can make.
