We define the average (harmonic mean) as the reciprocal of the average (arithmetic mean) of reciprocals. What is the average (harmonic mean) of 2, 3, and 6?

A. 1/3
B. 1/2
C. 1
D. 2
E. 3

==> If you find the average of the reciprocals, you get $$\frac{++}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$$ .

Since it is the reciprocal of that, the answer is E.

However, since a rectangle is a parallelogram and if one side length is 8 and the other is 7, you get the area of 8*7=56. The one side length of the parallelogram, which is 8, remains the same and the height is less than or equal to 7, so the area of the parallelogram becomes ≤56. Therefore, the answer is I. 47 II. 55 III. 56 all possible. The answer is E.

A ball dropped from a certain height. The height that it reached after rebounding from the floor was 60 percent of the initial height. The height was 292cm when it touched the floor for the third time. What was the initial height?
A. 80cm
B. 90cm
C. 100cm
D. 120cm
E. 130cm

ANS: If we consider the initial height as x, then from x+2(60%)x+2(60%)^2(x)=292, we get x=100. Hence, the correct answer is C.

the question should hv use total height instead of just height...

Yes. You are right.
The question should be changed as follows.

One ball will drop from a certain height. The height it will reach after rebounding from the floor is 60 percent of the previous height. The total travel is 292cm when it touches the floor on third time. What is the value of the original height?

What is the number of multiples of 6 from -35 to 69?

A. 14
B. 16
C. 17
