First take 400 and divide it by 2.5 to find the hourly rate. Then divide 600 by the hourly rate (160) to get 3.75 hours. My work is listed below.

The following parts refer to the letters: LAMEFIREALARM. Recall that "word" means distinguishable letter arrangements. (a) How m

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "LAMEFIREALARM" word consists of

2L , 2M, 2E , 2R , 3A , F and I

no of words with the above letters such that M's are not together

=Total No of words- M's are together

Total no of words $=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}=64,864,800$

When M's are together . considering 2 M's as one

therefore there are $\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}=9,979,200$

No of ways $=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}=54,885,600$

(b)No of ways such that M's are separated by at least 2 letters

at least 2 letter means 2 letter, 3 letter ......11 letters

So we have to subtract no of ways where there are 1 letter in between M's from total no of ways where 2 M's are not next to each other

No of ways in which there is 1 letter between 2 M's

This can be done by considering 11 cases

In first case Place first M in Starting Position and 2 M on third place

Second case place First M in 2 nd Position and second M on 4 th place

Similarly For 11th case

Place first M in 11th place and second M on 13th place

Total ways

$=\frac{11\times 11!}{3!\times 2!\times 2!\times 2!}$

So , the total number of arrangements of the letters of the word LAMEFIREALARM where the two M's are separated by atleast two letters is

$=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{11\times 11!}{3!\times 2!\times 2!\times 2!}$

$=45738000$

2) Evaluate 9 X 364 – 9 X 125 – 9 X 39 without the use of your calculator

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

<em>9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39 = 1,800</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Mental Calculation</em>

If we detect known patterns in the calculations, we could easily give their results without the use of calculators.

We are given the expression to evaluate:

9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39

The first thing to note is the 9 is a common factor of all terms, thus we take it out:

9*(364 - 125 - 39)

The negative numbers can be easily added

125

+ 39

------------

164

Now our expression is much easier:

9*(364 - 164)

The subtraction of 364-164 is 200, thus the result of the operations is:

9*200. We only need to recall 9*2=18 and add two zeros to get 1,800, thus:

9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39 = 1,800

The function f(x)=1/4x+6 is vertically translated by 12 units in the negative direction. What is the y-intercept of the new func

s2008m [1.1K]

Since the function f(x) is written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, it currently has a y-intercept of b = 6. If this function is shifted downwards (vertically) by 12 units, its new y-intercept will be:
$6 - 12 = -6$
