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.

Violet made cookies for the bake sale. 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip. 3/4 of the remaining cookies are sugar. What frac
FromTheMoon [43]
We know that 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip, so that means there are 3/10 of the cookies left.
We now want to find what 3/4 of 3/10 is.
We can do this by multiplying both fractions
3/4x3/10 (we just multiply across) to get 9/40.
We cannot simplify this answer, so our final answer is 9/40 of the cookies are sugar cookies.
