Twelve people join hands for a circle dance.In how many ways can they do this? Suppose six of these people are men, and the other six are women. In how many ways can they join hands for a circle dance, assuming they alternate in gender around the circle
Answer:
86400 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the circle can be rotated, the number of ways to arrange a distinct number of n objects in a circle will be (n−1)!.
Now, if we rotate the circle with the six women, we will see that there are 5! ways with which they can be placed in the circle.
After picking the places for the women, we will now fill each gap between two women with a man.
We have 6 men. Thus, number of ways to arrange the men is 6!
Thus,number of ways they can join hands for a circle dance, assuming they alternate in gender around the circle = 5! × 6! = 86400 ways
Answer:
B. {16, 19, 20}
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>triangle inequality</em> requires for any sides a, b, c you must have ...
a + b > c
b + c > a
c + a > b
The net result of those requirements are ...
- the sum of the two shortest sides must be greater than the longest side
- the length of the third side lies between the difference and sum of the other two sides
__
If we look at the offered side length choices, we see ...
A: 8+11 = 19 . . . not > 19; not a triangle
B: 16+19 = 35 > 20; could be a triangle
C: 3+4 = 7 . . . not > 8; not a triangle
D: 5+5 = 10 . . . not > 11; not a triangle
The side lengths {16, 19, 20} could represent the sides of a triangle.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The version of triangle inequality shown above ensures that a triangle will have non-zero area.
The alternative version of the triangle inequality uses ≥ instead of >. Triangles where a+b=c will look like a line segment--they will have zero area. Many authors disallow this case. (If it were allowed, then {8, 11, 19} would also be a "triangle.")
Answer:
96
Step-by-step explanation:
2 cans/24 = 8 cans/x
24 times 8/2 = 96
11,850 x .9 = 11,605
11605 x . 9 = 9,598.5 year 2
9,598.5 x .9 = 8,638.65
8,635 x .9 = 7,774.785 year 4
7,774.785 x .9 = 6,997.31
6,6997.31 x .9 = 6297.58 year 6
6297.58 x .9 = 5,667.82
5,667.82 x .9 = 5,101.04 year 8
The answer is D
