I have a word problem that my friends sister has for homework. We can not figure it oout. Here it is: Three women enter a room with five hats. Two white and three black. No one can se what hat they pick up. They put the hat on their head. They walk out of the room single file, facing straight ahead. They can not see the hats,except for the one(s) in front of them. The last women says,"I can not tell what color my hat is?" The middle women says the same thing. But the first women, who can see no hats, knows what color she is wearing.
Questions:
What color is the hat?
How can she tell?
Thank You so much. She is in 8th grade and will thank you so much. Who ever gets it right will get 10pts.
