College Math - What's the Probability?
#11
CGK_883 Wrote:Hi ThatBrian,

I'm taking this same test next Friday, Aug 1.

Can you tell me if there are a lot of word type problems on this exam? For example, I'm having lots of trouble with this type of problem shown below, and I'm not sure if I'm wasting my time trying to master this stuff when I'm off the mark for what I'm focusing my study time on.

1. Henry can paint a house in 4 hours. Claude can paint the house in 3 hours. How long would it take the two of them to do the job together?

Answer: 1.71

I'm doing okay on the deck of cards, and the dice word problems, so no worries there.

I'm using InstantCert and Cracking the CLEP book for studying.
Any help appreciated!

Yes, there were a lot of word problems, much more than I had expected.
