Considering the definition of permutation, in 95,040 different ways he can arrange homes on the lots.

<h3>Definition of Permutation</h3>

Permutation is placing elements in different positions. So, permutations of m elements in n positions are called the different ways in which the m elements can be arranged occupying only the n positions.

In other words, permutations are ways of grouping elements of a set in which:

  • take all the elements of a set.
  • the elements of the set are not repeated.
  • order matters.

To obtain the total of ways in which m elements can be placed in n positions, the following expression is used:

m Pn=\frac{m!}{(m-n)!}

where "!" indicates the factorial of a positive integer, which is defined as the product of all natural numbers before or equal to it.

<h3>This case</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • A contractor builds homes of 12 different models.
  • Presently the constractor has 5 lots to build on.

To obtain the total of ways in which he can arrange homes on these lots, you use the permutation. This is, 12 elements o models can be arranged occupying only the 5 positions:

12P5=\frac{12!}{(12-5)!}

Solving:

12P5=\frac{12!}{7!}

12P5= 479,001,600 ÷ 5,040

<u><em>12P5=95,040</em></u>

Finally, in 95,040 different ways he can arrange homes on the lots.

Answer:

ummm 36?????????????????

Step-by-step explanation:

Dear Gentleman Scholar —

Recently, I nearly reduced a woman to tears when she gently proffered her hand to me at a work conference and I vigorously squeezed it and yanked her around like the Incredible Hulk shaking hands with Raggedy Ann. There was much metacarpal cracking and muted whimpering. Having (I thought) learned my lesson, later at the same event when another women extended her hand, I very gently held hers and then released. There were no injuries this time, but she glared at me as if I had just handed her a dead fish. How does a gentleman shake hands with a lady? Am I supposed to shake it, caress it, kiss it, just hold it for a moment? What gives?

Yours,

Sam is flying from Columbus, Ohio to Kralendijk, Bonaire, a distance of 2,488 miles. First, he flies 995 miles to Miami, Florida
kogti [31]

Answer:

460 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = 2488 miles

Miami = 995 miles

San Juan = 1033 miles

Required

Determine the remaining distance

Assuming the points are on a straight path.

The remaining distance is:

Remainder = Total - Miami - San Juan

Remainder = 2488 - 995 - 1033

Remainder = 460 miles
