Solution

To solve this problem, we need to consider all possible pairs of tiles that Kelly could draw and then determine which of these pairs have a sum greater than 7.

The tiles are numbered 1, 4, 5, and 8.

The possible pairs are: (1,1), (1,4), (1,5), (1,8), (4,1), (4,4), (4,5), (4,8), (5,1), (5,4), (5,5), (5,8), (8,1), (8,4), (8,5), (8,8).

That's a total of 16 possible pairs.

The pairs that have a sum greater than 7 are: (1,8), (4,5), (4,8), (5,4), (5,5), (5,8), (8,1), (8,4), (8,5), (8,8).

That's a total of 10 pairs.

So, the probability that the sum of the two chosen tiles is greater than 7 is 10/16 = 5/8.

However, none of the answer options match this result. There might be a mistake in the problem or the answer choices.

Hugo has a box of tiles, each with an integer from 1 to 9 on it. Each integer appears on atleast six tiles. Hugo creates larger numbers by placing tiles side by side. For example, usingthe tiles 3 and 7, Hugo can create the 2-digit number 37 or 73. Using six of his tiles, Hugoforms two 3-digit numbers that add to 1234. He then records the sum of the digits on the sixtiles. How many different possible sums are there?
