Answer:  a) 720, b) ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} c) 336, d) 30240 e) 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

a) Number of competitors  = 6

We need to find the number of ways that 6 competitors can finish a race and there are no ties.

So, Number of ways would be

6!=720

b) number of people = n

Number of chairs = r (r<n)

so, the number of ways we can sit n people on r<n chairs is given by

^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

c) If there are three awards :

Gold, silver, bronze.

We need to find the number of ways that these medals can be awarded.

Number of ways is given by

^8P_3\\\\=336

d) Number of 5-digit zip codes are possible is given by

^{10}P_5=30240

e) Number of poeple = 10

Number of people required in committee = 3

Number of different 3 person committee that are selected from 10 people is given by

^{10}C_3=120

Hence, a) 720, b) ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} c) 336, d) 30240 e) 120.

How me steps to divide 1 3/4 by 1/2​
azamat

Answer:

3 1/2 (three and one-half)

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 1 3/4 to 7/4.

Do keep, change, flip.

Keep the first fraction.

Change division to multiplication.

Flip 1/2 to 2/1.

Do 7/4 x 2/1 and get 14/4

Divide 14 by 4

You get 3.5 and you convert that to 3 1/2

On the grid draw a scaled copy of quadrilateral ABCD with a scale factor 2/3
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Attached diagram A'B'C'D'

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a quadrilateral ABCD. It says to draw a dilated version with a scale factor 2/3.

We see that scale factor is less than 1 which means it shrinks the image to a smaller one.

To draw a scaled copy, we need to find the lengths of its sides.

To do so, we can draw the diagonals AC & BD, and they intersect at origin O(0,0) such that OA= -2, OB= 2, OC= 4, OD= -4.

Applying a scale factor of 2/3, we get OA' = -4/3, OB' = 4/3, OC' = 8/3, OD' = -8/3.

So we have attached a scaled copy A'B'C'D' of quadrilateral ABCD with a scale factor 2/3.
