Answer:

5! (5 factorial) or 120 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

You can arrange P different ways. R can be arranged only 4 different ways because Pwill be in one of the spots. Next, you can arrange "I" 3 different ways because P and R are already arranged in 2 spots, meaning you cant put "I" there. Next, S can be arranged in 2 different ways for the same reason. And lastly, M can only be arranged in 1 different way because the other spots are taken.

You can put it in any order. For example, M could be arranged 5 ways and P could be arranged in 1 way. You will still get 120 ways

Hopefully this helped. The explanation might be a bit confusing but I tried my best. I'm not good with explaining my solutions but I always try

Answer:

She stayed awake for 295 minutes today

Explanation:

We are given that:

Yesterday, she drank one cup

Today, she drank $\frac{17}{42}$ of a cup more than yesterday

This means that:

Number of cups she drank today = $1+\frac{17}{42}=1\frac{17}{42}cups$

Now, we know that she drinks $\frac{2}{7}$ of a cup per hour any time she is not sleeping

We use cross multiplication to get the time she took to drink $1\frac{17}{42}$ cups

1 hour ...........................> $\frac{2}{7}$ of a cup

?? hours ......................> $1\frac{17}{42}$ cups

Time taken = $\frac{1\frac{17}{42}*1 }{\frac{2}{7} } = \frac{59}{12} = 4\frac{11}{12} hours$

This means that she was awake for $4\frac{11}{12}$ hours

Finally, we convert this to minutes:

Knowing that 1 hour has 60 minutes, therefore:

She stayed awake for $4\frac{11}{12} * 60 = 295$ minutes

Hope this helps :)

How to use a protractor.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

You can see below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, a protractor is used to measure angles. You probably have a semi-circle shaped one. Looking at the bottom middle of the protractor should show you lines intersecting each other at a point. If you have an angle on a piece of paper, place that point on the ends of the line segments making up the angle. Then, check where each line of the angle crosses the numbers on the outer rim. That shows you the measure of the angle you are examining. It can be a bit tricky, but with practice you'll get it in no time!

Help please

Well first of you need to know that on a straight line there should be 180 degrees. Also a triangle has 180 degrees in total. Now if this is to scale then you can always measure the angle BCA and explain how you took that away from 180 to get whatever. Assuming otherwise i don't know how one can actually complete this question without any measurements, at least one and it would be something anyone can complete. Even if you didn't have anything it should be a equilateral triangle or isosceles. That way you can work out the inside sides than the exterior. But since it's not, I'm not to sure.
