28, 56
56
Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we use the combination rule.
nCk = n!/k!(n-k)! where
n is the number of options (8) k is the number of slots (2).
Assuming the order doesn't matter, then
8C2 = 8! / 2!(8-2)!
8C2 = 8! / 2! 6!
8C2 = 40320 / 2 * 720
8C2 = 40320 / 1440
8C2 = 28
If the order does matter, then we use permutation instead.
nPk = n!/(n-k!) where n = 8 and k =2 8P2 = 8! / 6!
8P2 = 40320 / 720
8P2 = 56
b
We are told that there exist 8 ways to choose a president and a vice president. This means that, after choosing a president from 8 people, there remains 7 people to choose his vice from. Thus, the number of ways to choose a president and his vice are 8 * 7 = 56
Here's how one would solve it:
17 + 3x2 = 6x
17 + 6 = 6x
23 = 6x
x = 23/6
There's only one solution.
Answer:
2 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
It is 4:2
Since it is similar AB is double the size of AB' and BC is double the size of BC'. so 4:2 4 is double the size of 2.
