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 to convert a repeating decimal to a fraction
egoroff_w [7]
Always place it out of 9. For example, 0.333= 3/9, or if simplified, 1/3.

0.5555? this will be 5/9.

for the other way around, make it a repeating decimal, such as 4/9, make that 0.444

If it is 33/99, or even 333/999, the rule should be the same.

A rectangular picture frame measures 63 cm by 63 cm. What is the perimeter or distance around the picture frame in meters? m
Natalija [7]
Hi!

We need the perimeter in meters, so we have to turn cm into m. 
63 cm = 0.63 m

The perimeter is the sum of all side measures:
P = 0.63 + 0.63 + 0.63 + 0.63
P = 4 * 0.63
P = 2.52 m

;)
