Answer:
- 1/4 or -0.25 is the answer
Total number of ways to make a pair:
The first player can be any one of 7 . For each of those . . .
The opponent can be any one of the remaining 6 .
Total ways to make a pair = 7 x 6 = 42 ways .
BUT ... every pair can be made in two ways ... A vs B or B vs A .
So 42 'ways' make only (42/2) = 21 different pairs.
If every pair plays 2 matches, then (21 x 2) = <em><u>42 total matches</u></em> will be played.
Now, is that an elegant solution or what !
Answer: 720
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that cthe researches counted 400 turtles, of which 20 were marked. This implies that 20/400 = 1/20 were marked.
If the researchers wanted to track the reptile population around a lake, and the researchers marked 36 turtles, the estimate of the total population will then be:
1/20 × x = 36
x/20 = 36
x = 20 × 36
x = 720
The turtle population is 720
The tax would be $267.876 but rounded it would be $267.88
