How many 3 digit numbers are possible when a) the leading digit cannot be zero and the number must be a multiple of 4?

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume the digits can be repeated.

so, e.g. 555 is a valid number for this problem, right ?

that means we start with permutations with repetition :

n^r

n = the total number of items to pick from.

r = the number of items being picked per result.

we have 10 digits (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9), and we pick 3 of them.

that gives us (with very little surprise, I hope)

10³ = 1000 different possible numbers from 000 to 999.

from these numbers we eliminate all with leading 0.

as we handled all digits the same way and with the same priority, there is the same amount of numbers for every digit in the leading position.

that means 1/10 of the total amount of numbers has a leading 0, or a leading 1, or a leading 2, ...

so, we need to subtract 1/10 × 1000 from 1000 :

1000 - 1000×1/10 = 1000 - 100 = 900

that would be the numbers 100 to 999.

and we have one more condition : the number must be a multiple of 4.

how many are there ?

well, that's the funny thing about numbers : from all numbers 1/2 of them are multiples of 2 (or divisible by 2), 1/3 of them are multiples of 3 (or divisible by 3), and ... you guessed it, 1/4 of them are multiples of 4 (or divisible by 4). and so on.

and so, 1/4 of our 900 numbers are multiples of 4 :

1/4 × 900 = 225

so, there are 225 possible 3-digit numbers that are multiples of 4 and do not start with a 0.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the point (4,8) and (3,-3)
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

I don't think it's possible for this to be a decimal because the slope is positive 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope formula. x2-x1/y2-y1. Since we always go with the smaller x value we do 8-(-3) / 4-3/ We'll get 11 for 8-(-3) and we'll get 1 for 4-3/ so that leaves us with 11/1 which can't be simplified and has no decimal.

The perimeter of this square is 20 inches.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Amaya is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the square is 20 inches, which means each side of the square needs to add up to 20 inches. If the side length of that side Amaya pointed out is 4 inches, then the total perimeter would only be 18 inches, in another case, if they were talking about the area of the square/rectangle (now), it would be 20 inches. So, Amaya is wrong.
