Cody is putting
books away in the library. He has 39 books. If each
shelf can hold up to 12 books, what's the fewest number
of shelves he'll have to use? |
Divide 39 by 12 and you have 3 with 3
left over. Barry knows that that translates to four shelves.

nickels would you need to have exactly 75 cents? |

b) Metamorphic
c) Sedimentary |
With nothing
to lose, Barry takes a PEEK. Olivia said... A. He eliminates C and
instead of going with Olivia's answer, he guesses B. Absolutely wrong.
If the answer is A, then Olivia saves. If
not, then Barry's going home with $25,000.
The answer... is A!
SAVED!
