Answer: 20ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of candies = 7

Number of kids = 4

Since each kid must receive at least one candy ;

Therefore number of candies left to ration is

7 - 4 = 3 candies ; among 4 kids.

To share 'n' identical object among 'r' number of individuals can be expressed in the form :

[n+(r-1)Cr-1]

n = 3 ; r = 4

[3+(4-1)C4-1] = 6C3

Recall: nCr = n! / (n-r)!r!

6C3 = 6!/(6-3)!3!

6C3 = 6!/3!3!

= (6 * 5 * 4) / (3 * 2 * 1)

= 120 / 6

= 20ways

Answer:

$64.5745

Step-by-step explanation:

You had to do this:

9.99+11.99+11.99+21.00+21.00=75.97

 x     =     85

75.97      100        85*75.97=6457.45

100x=6457.45

6457.45/100= 64.5745

The temperature was 38 degrees Fahrenheit before a cold front came through. Ten hours later, the temperature was -12 degrees Fah
padilas [110]

Answer:

-5 degrees per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In 10 hours, the temperature dropped -50 degrees (38 + 12, and make it negative because the temperature went down, not up).

So divide -50 by 10

-50/10 = -5

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. Polygon ABCD is defined by the points A(-4, 2), B(-2, 4), C(1, 3), and D(2, 2
Ber [7]

Answer:

D'(-2, 2); C''(3, -1); A'''(4, -2); and B''(4, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

For D', we rotate the point (2, 2) 90° counterclockwise. This maps every point (x, y)→(-y, x); it takes (2, 2)→(-2, 2).

For C'', we rotate the point (1, 3) 90° clockwise.  This maps every point (x, y)→(y, -x); it takes (1, 3)→(3, -1).

For A''', we rotate the point (-4, 2) 180° clockwise.  This maps every point (x, y)→(-x, -y); it takes (-4, 2)→(4, -2).

For B'', we rotate the point (-2, 4) 270° counterclockwise.  This is the same as rotating the point 90° clockwise.  This maps every point (x, y)→(y, -x); it takes (-2, 4)→(4, 2).
