The number of solutions of a+b+c+d+e+f = 2006 is 9.12 * 10^16

<h3>How to determine the number of solutions?</h3>

The equation is given as:

a+b+c+d+e+f = 2006

In the above equation, we have:

Result = 2006

Variables = 6

This means that

n = 2006

r = 6

The number of solutions is then calculated as:

(n + r - 1)Cr

This gives

(2006 + 6 - 1)C6

Evaluate the sum and difference

2011C6

Apply the combination formula:

2011C6 = 2011!/((2011-6)! * 6!)

Evaluate the difference

2011C6 = 2011!/(2005! * 6!)

Expand the expression

2011C6 = 2011 * 2010 * 2009 * 2008 * 2007 * 2006 * 2005!/(2005! * 6!)

Cancel out the common factors

2011C6 = 2011 * 2010 * 2009 * 2008 * 2007 * 2006/6!

Expand the denominator

2011C6 = 2011 * 2010 * 2009 * 2008 * 2007 * 2006/720

Evaluate the quotient

2011C6 = 9.12 * 10^16

Hence, the number of solutions of a+b+c+d+e+f = 2006 is 9.12 * 10^16

One mixture contains 6 fluid Ounces of water and 10 fluid Ounces of vinegar. A second mixture

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The mixtures are not proportional.

3 fluid ounces of vinegar has to be added in the second mixture to make it proportional to the first mixture.

its =3

Step-by-step explanation:

The one mixture contains 6 fluid ounces and 10 fluid ounces of water and vinegar respectively.

Therefore, the ratio of water to vinegar in the first mixture is 6 : 10 = 3 : 5

Now, a second mixture contains 9 fluid ounces of water and 12 fluid ounces of vinegar.

Hence, the ratio of water to vinegar in the second mixture is 9 : 12 = 3 : 4

Therefore, the mixtures are not proportional.

Therefore, we have to add x fluid ounces of vinegar to the second mixture to make it in the ratio of 3 : 5.

So,

⇒ 12 + x = 15

⇒ x = 3 fluid ounces.

Therefore, 3 fluid ounces of vinegar has to be added in the second mixture to make it proportional to the first mixture. (Answer
