Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution 1:

There are 5 even digits: 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8, and 5\cdot 4\cdot 3=60 ways to arrange any three of them in order: 5 ways to pick the first digit, 4 ways to pick the second digit, and 3 ways to pick the third.

Another way to think about this is there are 5\choose 3 ways to pick any three of the digits, and 3! ways to rearrange them, so there are {5\choose 3 }\cdot 3!=60 ways to pick and arrange 3 of the digits.

Then, we have to subtract cases where 0 is the first digit, because that would give us numbers such as 028 or 042 which are not three-digit natural numbers.

When 0 is the first digit, there are 4 possibilities for the second digit and 3 possibilities for the third digit, so there are 4\cdot3=12 ways for 0 to be the first digit.

These are the cases we don't want, so we subtract them from the total cases we can arrange any three of the digits. This gives us

60-12=\boxed{48}

total ways.

Solution 2:

We split the possible arrangements into two different cases: when we use the digits without 0 and when we do use the digit 0.

Case 1: we use 0:

We first pick the three numbers we use: one of them has to be 0, so there are {4\choose 2}=6 ways to pick the other two numbers.

Then, since 0 cannot be the first digit, there are 2 ways to pick the first digit. We used a digit for the first number, so there are 2 more numbers we can choose from, including 0, for the second digit. There is only one possibility for the last digit, so we have 2\cdot2\cdot1=4 ways to pick the order.

So, multiplying this by the number of ways there are to pick the numbers, there are 6\cdot4=24 ways for this case.

Case 2: we don't use 0:

If we don't use 0, there are 4 digits we can choose from: 2, 4, 6, and 8. There are 4 ways to choose the first digit, 3 ways to chose the second digit, and 2 ways for the third.

So, we have 4\cdot3\cdot2=24 ways for this case.

Combining the cases, there are 24+24=\boxed{48} total possible ways to form a three-digit natural number using only the even digits.

Mr. Doyle washed
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Mr Doyle washed the most.

4/15 still need to be washed.

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5=6/15  Mr Doyle

1/3=5/15   Son

so Mr Doyle washed the most.

Together they washed 11/15 of the laundry so 4/15 is left to wash.

Eric was rock climbing. At one point, he stopped and climbed straight down 2\dfrac{1}{2}2
nikitadnepr [17]

The equation that matches the given situation is -2\frac{1}{2}+6\frac{3}{4}=? . So, after two moves, Eric's elevation changed 4\frac{1}{4} meters above.

We know that in mathematics, subtraction means removing something from a group or a number of things. What is left in the group gets smaller when we subtract. The minuend is the first element we use. The subtrahend is the part that is being removed. The difference is the portion that remains after subtraction.

Assume that "negative" means climbing down and "positive" means climbing up. We must locate the elevation change in this area.

Given that Eric climbed straight down 2\frac{1}{2} meters. So we can write -2\frac{1}{2}.

Again Eric climbed straight up 6\frac{3}{4} meters. So, we can write 6\frac{3}{4}.

Then the change = -2\frac{1}{2}+6\frac{3}{4}

=-\frac{(2*2+1)}{2}+\frac{6*4+3}{4}

=-\frac{5}{2} +\frac{27}{4}

=\frac{-(5*2)+27}{4}

=\frac{-10+27}{4}

=\frac{17}{4}

=\frac{4*4+1}{4}

=4\frac{1}{4}

Therefore, the equation that matches the given situation is -2\frac{1}{2}+6\frac{3}{4}=? . So, after two moves, Eric's elevation changed 4\frac{1}{4} meters above.
