If you break it up:

Three-eighths = 3/8

Sixteen times a number, we'll call the unknown number X, so 16X.

Twenty Four = 24

The sum of 16X and 24 = 16X + 24

We want 3/8 of that sum so we put the sum in parenthesis and we get:

Y = 3/8(16X + 24) where Y is the answer youd get if you knew what X was.

20 pts, try to find short story and novel pages, A novel has 13 times as many pages as a short story. The combined number of pag

brilliants [131]

Answer:

short story has 32 pgs

novel has 416 pgs

Step-by-step explanation:

a novel (N) has 13 times as many pages as a short story (x) so, N = 13X

total pages is the equation N + x = 448

plug the equation for N into this

13x + x = 448, combine like terms

14x = 448, divide both sides by 14

x = 32. so now we know that the short story has 32 pages. subtract that from 448. and the novel has 416 pages.

Answer:

11,232,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to this problem is knowing "repetition is NOT ALLOWED".

<u>For the first 3 letters slot:</u>

For the 1st slot, we can pick any of the 26 alphabets

For the 2nd slot, we can pick any of the 25 remaining alphabets (since 1 is already taken)

For the 3rd slot, we can pick any of the 24 remaining letters (since 2 is already taken)

<u>For the three digits slot:</u>

For the 1st slot, we can pick any one of the 10 digits

For the 2nd slot, we can pick any one of the 9 digits left, since 1 is taken already

For the 3rd slot, we can pick any one of the 8 digits left, since 2 is already taken

The number of license plates, thus, would be all of these multiplied together:

26 * 25 * 24 * 10 * 9 * 8 = 11,232,000
