8% of 70 is what number? (please explain)

1 answer:

7 0

Do a proportion
8/100= x/70
Cross multiply and divide
70 x 8= 560
560 divided by 100= 5.6
Answer is 5.6

You also could have done .08 x 70 which is also 5.6

There are 15 candidates for 4 job positions.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

32760 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Candidates = 15

Job Positions = 4

Required:

Number of outcomes

This question represent selection; i.e. selecting candidates for job positions;

This question can be solved in any of the following two ways

Method 1.

The first candidate can be chosen from any of the 15 candidates

The second candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 14 candidates

The third candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 13 candidates

The fourth candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 12 candidates

Total Possible Selection = 15 * 14 * 13 * 12

<em>Total Possible Selection = 32760 ways</em>

Method 2:

This can be solved using permutation method which goes thus;

$nPr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

Where n = 15 and r = 4

So;

$nPr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$ becomes

$15P4 = \frac{15!}{(15-4)!}$

$15P4 = \frac{15!}{11!}$

$15P4 = \frac{15*14*13*12*11!}{11!}$

$15P4 = 15*14*13*12$

$15C4 = 32760$

<em>Hence, there are 32760 ways</em>

What is the area of a garden that measures 4mx4mx6mx4mx10mx8m

topjm [15]

The area of the garden is 120 square metre

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The picture of the garden is shown below. In this problem, we have:

One square
Two rectangles

Recall that the area of a square is given by:

$A_{s}=L^2 \\ \\ A_{s}:Area \ of \ a \ square \\ L:Side \ of \ the \ square$

On the other hand, the area of a rectangle is given by:

$A_{r}=L_{1}\times L_{2} \\ \\ \\ A_{r}:Area \ of \ a \ rectangle \\ \\ L_{1}:Side \ 1 \ of \ the \ rectangle \\ \\ L_{2}:Side \ 2 \ of \ the \ rectangle$
