Question

Zoe buys 4 types of sports collector cards one at a time and always in the same order. She buys a hockey card first, then a baseball card, then a basketball card, then a football card, and then starts again with a hockey card. What will be the 407th card that Zoe, the compulsive shopper, buys?

Answer 1

basketball

Answer 2

how did you get that?

Answer 3

4 different types of cards, right? Now, find the number closest to 407 that is divisible by 4, where you still get a whole number. That number is 404, with a remainder of three. Since the basketball card is the third card she buys, it is that third remainder.

Answer 4

thanks a million
