Answer 4

I have.. ive waited a total hour before and gotten nothing. @bibby
Which two statements contradict each other?

I. Jon, Elizabeth, and Franco read 27 books among them for a class.
II. Franco read 6 books.
III. None of the three students read more than 7 books.
A. I and II
B. I and III
C. II and III
D. No two of the statements contradict each other. @acxbox22

Answer 5

I'm confused, I think I know the answer. I'm just not 100% sure

Answer 6

I think it's B... What do you think @acxbox22 ?

Answer 7

well since no student read more than 7 books the max they read was 7 x 3=21
but look at the first statment...it says they read a total of 27 books....

Answer 8

If Franco read 6 books, then statement 1 would claim that Jon and Elizabeth read 21 books. This goes against the idea that no one read more than 7

Answer 9

Right, that's what I was thinking @aegidious and @acxbox22

Answer 10

so what would u say is the answer?

Answer 11

Or is it C?

Answer 12

@emmaleelooney

Answer 13

Because I and III contradict one another, saying they read 27 together; but no one read more than 7 books.

Answer 14

Right? @acxbox22

Answer 15

It's B. The second statement doesn't argue either two points. It's just added information. The first and third statements go against each other

Answer 16

@emmaleelooney

While waiting, you can always google to see if the problem has been solved here before.

Answer 17

But it says contradict... Which means they go against it. Wouldn't that mean C is the answer? @aegidious

Answer 18

i agree with @Johnjakile1998

Answer 19

@emmaleelooney What do you think the answer is?

Answer 20

@aegidious is correct

Answer 21

How? I'm not doubting him, I just wanna know. @acxbox22 @aegidious

Answer 22

According to the question, one of the statements are wrong. If that's the case, then statement 2 doesn't necessarily go against statement 3. Maybe the first statement is false and they only read 18 books, in which case, statement 2 is supporting statement 3.

Answer 23

well if they read a total of 27 books and no one read more than 7 books
so the max number of books read is 21
21<27 so the 2 statements contradict each other

Answer 24

I still feel like the answer is C, but you all obviously know what you're talking about.

Answer 25

Can you two (@acxbox22 and @aegidious help me with a problem). I just don't get the last part.
