A comedian knows eleven jokes. One joke is old, one joke is new, and the other jokes are somewhere between. If the order in wh
ich these jokes are told makes a difference in terms of how they are received, how many ways can they be delivered if the old joke is told first and the new joke is told last?
Step-by-step explanation: If one and 11 stay in the same place then it would start as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. then it would be 1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11. then 1, 9, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,11 and so one.
Total weight of the 8 backpacks = 8 x 14 = 112 pounds
Total weight of the 12 backpacks = 12 x 9 = 108 pounds
Total weight of all the 20 backpacks = 220 pounds
Mean weight of the 20 backpacks = 220 ÷ 20 = 11 pounds
