Answer:

140 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are being asked for the maximum number that can elapse without having 2 subcommitees with the same members and the same chair. Notice that the secretary is not mentioned in this statement, so we can ignore that position.

Now, the maximum number of weeks would be equal to the total possible combinations of subcommitees that can be formed from the 7 individuals commiteed, times the number of options that can sit at the chair possition.

The total possible combinations of subcommitees that can be formed from the 7 individuals can be expressed like the following expression. Notice that there is no a particular order to be considered, so we use the combination formula:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7\\4\end{array}\right] = \frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!} = 35

Now, each of the 4 individuals have the same probability of being chosen as the chair commitee. So, we have to multiply 4 times the number of possible subcommitees in order to arrive our answer:

x = 35 * 4 = 140

This would be the maximum number of subcommitees that can be formed with no subcommitees with the same members and the same chair occurring.

The first and second year’s sales for a company were $328,000 and $565,000. The expenses for the first year were $117,000. The c
Serhud [2]
As a disclaimer, I can't say I'm completely confident in this answer. Use at own risk.

Formulas:

Year 1: 328,000 (sales) - 117,000 (expense) = 211,000 (profit)

Year 2: 565,000 (sales) - x (expense) = y (profit)

Net Profit: 211,000 + y = 113,000

Math

211,000 (profit y1) + 565,000 (sales y2) = 776,000

776,000 - 113,000 (net profit) = -663,000 (expenses)

Confirm:

Net Profit: 211,000 + y = 113,000 (listed in formulas, just a reminder)

Plug in: 565,000 (y2 sales) - 663,000 (our solution) = -98,000

211,000 (y1 net) + -98,000 (our plug in) = 113,000 (2 year net profit given to us)

lara [203]

Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Michelle (he ? ) has 11/12 quarts of paint, and need 1/6 per quart to paint, we do 11/12 / 1/6 = 11/2, or 5.5. We cannot paint .5 of a block, so Michelle can only paint 5 quarts.
