To find our solution, we can start off by creating a string of 27 boxes, all followed by the letters of the alphabet. Underneath the boxes, we can place 6 pairs of boxes and 15 empty boxes.The stars represent the six letters we pick. The empty boxes to the left of the stars provide the "padding" needed to ensure that no two adjacent letters are chosen. We can create this -

Thus, the answer is that there are

ways to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the set are adjacent in the alphabet. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal New Year!

Yes, y=-9x is proportional
Answer:
70/5985
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a quadrilateral needs to have four vertices (or points on the circle). There are always two ways to link the cross — horizontally or vertically. Using my limited knowledge of combinations, we know that choosing four points out of seven equals 35. Multiplying the two ways to connect those lines (again, horizontally and vertically) makes 35*2 = 70 "bow-tie quadrilaterals" that can be formed on the circle using four points. There are 5985 ways four chords can be chosen out of twenty-five chords because C(25,4) equals 5985, so the probability is 70/5985... and then we just need to simplify that fraction.
set up a ratio to find the length:
15/12 = DE/16
cross multiply the 15 & 16:
15 * 16 = 240
divide that by 12 to get DE
240 / 12 = 20
DE = 20
I assume that 0.53 with a bar means the decimal fraction in which 3 is repeating.
24/45, 8/15, and 48/90 all result in the same decimal value. Thus, we are simply looking for the one that is fully simplified.
The correct answer is 8/15.
Hope this helps!
