Answer:

a) 1,757,600 different plates possible.

b) 1,404,000 different plates possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The permutations formula is important to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

(a) can be repeated:

There are 3 letters, each one with 26 possible outcomes.

2 digits, each with 10 possible outcomes

So

T = 26*26*26*10*10 = 1757600

1,757,600 different plates possible.

(b) cannot be repeated:

Here the permutations formula is used.

Three letters, from a set of 26.

Two digits, from a set of 10. So

T = P_{(26,3)}*P_{(10,2)} = \frac{26!}{(26-3)!}*\frac{10!}{(10-2)!} = 1404000

1,404,000 different plates possible.

A jet plane can carry up to 200,000 liters of fuel. It used 130,000 liters of fuel during a flight. What percentage of the fuel
-Dominant- [34]

Given:

Capacity of jet plane = 200,000 liters of fuel

Fuel used during flight = 130,000 liters

To find:

The percentage of the fuel capacity it uses on this flight.

Solution:

According to the question, we need to find 130,000 is what percent of 200,000.

\text{Required percentage}=\dfrac{\text{Fuel used during flight}}{\text{Capacity of jet plane}}\times 100

\text{Required percentage}=\dfrac{130000}{200000}\times 100

\text{Required percentage}=65

Therefore, the jet plane uses 65 percent of fuel capacity during flight.

It takes 212121 minutes for 555 people to paint 777 walls. How many minutes does it take 333 people to paint 555 walls?
Papessa [141]

Solution: We are given that:

5 people can paint 7 walls in 21 minutes

Therefore, 1 person can paint 7 walls in 21 \times 5=105 minutes

Which means 1 person can paint 1 wall in \frac{105}{7} =15 minutes

Now, 3 people can paint 1 wall in \frac{15}{3} =5 minutes

Therefore, 3 people can paint 5 walls in 5 \times 5=25 minutes
