Five pieces can be selected in 1287 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When the selection has to be made without considering the order of selection, combinations are used.

The formula for combination is:

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

Here

Total candies = n = 13

Candies to be selected = r = 5

Putting the values in the formula

$C(13,5) = \frac{13!}{5!(13-5)!}\\=\frac{13!}{5!8!}\\=1287\ ways$

Five pieces can be selected in 1287 ways

ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle is 17/8 or 17:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of Diagonal = 34 inches

Length of side = 16 inches

Base= 30 inches

We need to find the ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle.

ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle = $\frac{length of diagonal}{length of side}$

Putting values:

$Ratio=\frac{34}{16} \\Simplifying:\\Ratio=\frac{17}{8}$

So, ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle is 17/8 or 17:8
