3627 x 673:(876)= 2138290596
I got that by taking 3627x876(876) and got that
You need to make a series of equations from what you are given first. I am going to use the first letter of each of the names to represent the length of that persons wire.
1/2s=2/5d
3c=s
s+d+c=6 ft
Okay. Now you can combine the first two equations knowing what s equals:
1/2(3c)=2/5d
d=15c/4
Now you have d=15c/4 and s=3c, so you can replace d and s in the third equation.
3c+15c/4+c=6
Then solve for c and plug it into the equation 3c=s to find the length of sarah's wire.

I think that this is a combination problem. From the given, the 8 students are taken 3 at a time. This can be solved through using the formula of combination which is C(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!r!. In this case, n is 8 while r is 3. Hence, upon substitution of the values, we have
C(8,3) = 8!/(8-3)!3!
C(8,3) = 56
There are 56 3-person teams that can be formed from the 8 students.
