She worked 2 and 1/2 hours yesterday, and today she did 4 and 1/4 hours.

first off, let's check how many hours she worked total, and divide 54 by it.

so, first off, let's convert the mixed fractions to "improper" and add them up.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{17}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{17}{4}\impliedby \textit{our LCD will be 4}\implies \cfrac{(2\cdot 5)+(1\cdot 17)}{4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{10+17}{4}\implies \cfrac{27}{4}\implies \stackrel{total~hours}{6\frac{3}{4}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\stackrel{wages}{54}}{\stackrel{hours}{6\frac{3}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{54}{\frac{27}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{54}{1}}{\frac{27}{4}}\implies \cfrac{54}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{27}\implies \cfrac{216}{27}\implies 8~\frac{\$}{hr}

In a race between 18 people, how many ways can the top 5 finishers be arranged?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is permutation, since order matters.  The formula for us is

₁₈P₅ = \frac{18!}{(18-5)!} which simplifies to

₁₈P₅ = \frac{18*17*16*15*14*13!}{13!}

The factorial of 13 cancels out on the top and bottom leaving you with

₁₈P₅ = 18 × 17 × 16 × 15 × 14

which comes to 1,028,160 ways

Another way to look at it is:  the first 5 people of 18 finish and the others you don't care about.  Once the first place person is first, there are only 4 of the 18 left to finish in second place.  Then there are only 3 left to finish in third place, etc.  So if we use that reasoning, we don't even need to use the formula, we can just say

18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14 and those are the first 5 people of 18 to finish.

Find the coordinates if the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (-3,4) and (7,9).
svetoff [14.1K]
Using the midpoint formula 
\frac{ x_{1}+ x_{2}  }{2},  &#10; \frac{ y_{1}+  y_{2}  }{2}
\frac{-3+7}{2},&#10; \frac{4+9}{2}
\frac{4}{2},&#10; \frac{13}{2}
(2,6.5)
So, your answer would be (2,6.5).
