My question is: Ron is part of a book club that allows each member to take a turn picking a new book every week. The club is made up of three couples and five single people along with Ron and his wife. How many times a year does Ron get to pick a new book? Your thoughts:
There are 3 couples in the club, so there are 3 * 2 = 6 people in couples in the club. Along with the singles and Ron and his wife, there are 6 + 5 + 2 = 13 people in the book club. There are 52 weeks in a year, so Ron gets to pick a new book 52 / 13 = 4 times a year. The final answer: 4.
