Four different sets of objects contain 2,5,6, and 7 objects, respectively. How many unique combinations can be formed by picking
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
There are 2 choices for the first set, and 5 choices for the second set. Each of the 2 choices from the first set can be combined with each of the 5 choices from the second set. Therefore there are 2 times 5 combinations from the first and second sets. Continuing this reasoning, the total number of unique combinations of one object from each set is:
2\times5\times\times6\times7=420\ combinations

Raul has 56 bouncy balls. He puts three times as many balls into red bags as he puts into green gift bags. If he puts the same n
Sati [7]
If we divide 56 by 4 we get 14.  Why by4?  So that one number is 3 times the other So he had 14 balls that went into the green bags and 42 (56-14) that went into the red bags.  We could just answer the question and say 14 but I think they want to know how many in each green bag.
14 and 42 don't work because they are not the same number of balls.  What number is a common factor?  7 is,
We could have 2 green bags and split the 14 balls into 2 groups of 7 and with the remaining 42 - put them into 6 red bags of 7 each.
And so the answer to your question is:
7 ball in each bag  = 2 bags are green, and 6 bags are red
                                        14 balls              +    42 balls            = 56 bouncy balls

J is the midpoint of hk. what is hj, jk, and hk
Lyrx [107]
Hj and jk are the same length line segments ( because the midpoint divides a line into two equal parts)
So hj = jk.

hk is the line segment which has the mid point j. It is the double of hj or jk. It can be the sum of hj and jk. 
hj + jk = hk 
      or
2 * hj = hk
      or 
2 * jk = hk
