A) The answer is 5.

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
n - number of things to be chosen from
r - number of chosen things

There are five seniors in a class: n = 5
<span>I choose one senior: r = 1
</span>
nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
5C1 = 5! / (1! (5 - 1)!)
       = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / (1 * 4!)
       = 120 / (4 * 3 * 2 * 1)
       = 120 / 24
       = 5

b) The answer is 10.

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
n - number of things to be chosen from
r - number of chosen things

There are five seniors in a class: n = 5
I choose two seniors: r = 2

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
5C2 = 5! / (2! (5 - 2)!)
       = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / ((2 * 1) * 3!)
       = 120 / (2 * (3 * 2 * 1))
       = 120 / (2 * 6)
       = 120 / 12
       = 10


c) The answer is 10.

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
n - number of things to be chosen from
r - number of chosen things

There are five seniors in a class: n = 5
I choose three seniors: r = 3

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
5C3 = 5! / (3! (5 - 3)!)
       = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / ((3 * 2 * 1) * 2!)
       = 120 / (6 * (2 * 1))
       = 120 / (6 * 2)
       = 120 / 12
       = 10


d) The answer is 5.

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
n - number of things to be chosen from
r - number of chosen things

There are five seniors in a class: n = 5
I choose four seniors: r = 4

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
5C4 = 5! / (4! (5 - 4)!)
       = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / ((4 * 3 * 2 * 1) * 1!)
       = 120 / (24 * 1)
       = 120 / 24
       = 5


e) The answer is 1.

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
n - number of things to be chosen from
r - number of chosen things

There are five seniors in a class: n = 5
I choose five seniors: r = 5

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
5C5 = 5! / (5! (5 - 5)!)
       = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / ((5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) * 1!)
       = 120 / (120 * 1)
       = 120 / 120
       = 1

Answer:

The answer is Ari, Beth, Cindy

Explanation

Ari

  • 2¾ miles is 2.75 miles
  • speed of 2½ miles per hour is 2.5 mi/h

DISTANCE = SPEED × TIME

t = d/s

= 2.75/2.5

= 1.1hr

= 66mins

Beth

  • 1¾ miles is 1.75 miles
  • speed of 1¼ miles per hour is 1.25 mi/h

t = d/s

= 1.75/1.25

=1.4hr

=84mins

Cindy

  • 1hr 21mins is 81mins

66.21 was rounded to 2dp. what is the lower bound?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

the answer is 66.205

Step-by-step explanation:

basically you look at the place value so

66.21 is basically the same as 66.210 then you look at the lowest number that can round UP to 66.210 which would be out of 1 to 9 would be 5 so the smallest number that can round up to 66.210 is 66.205 hope this helped :D
