IN CLASS - #8 – page 245 – Twenty-Five-Man Roster

          The manager of a baseball team received a strange communication from the team’s general manager, who told him to select 25 players for his roster according to this formula:

          ½ of the team had to be outfielders and infielders

          ¼ of the team had to be starting pitchers

          1/6 of the team had to be relief pitchers

          1/8 of the team had to be catchers.

          The manager was taken aback by the innumeracy exhibited by his boss, yet he found a way to comply.  How did he do it?

 

POD –Classic Mustangs

          None of us really got along as friends, but we shared several things in common.  We had some joint business dealings and a love of old Mustangs.  We only liked the ones from 1964 ½ through the 1968 model year.  When we found out that the collection of Mustangs from the Sparks Auto Museum was going to be auctioned off, we put our minds and our money together.  Instead of bidding against each other, we decided to bid as a group on each Mustang available.  We set a maximum price we would bid, and quite frankly, none of us had any favorites, we loved them all equally.  We also agreed to divide “out take” as follows:  half to Travis because he was usually the big money on our projects, ¼ to Sandra as she was usually the brains that got things done, and I was to get a 1/6 share.  In the end we were the winning bidders on 11 Mustangs.  How many Mustangs does each of us get?
