Answer:

There are 2450 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can pick first the 4 man, and then the 4 women. The configuration of men and women are independant with each other, so the total of possibilities is obtained by multiplying the total possibilities to pick 4 men and the total possibilities of picking 4 women.

To pick 4 men from a group of 8, the total number of possibilities is the amount of ways to pick 4 elements from a group of 8. This number is represented by the combinatorial number of 8 with 4

{8 \choose 4} = \frac{8!}{4!4!} = 70

To pick 4 women from a group of 7, we need to count the total amount of ways to pick 4 elements from a group of 7. This is the combinatorial number of 8 with 7

{7 \choose 4} = \frac{7!}{4!3!} = 35

Hence, the total amount of ways to pick 4 men and 4 women from a group of 8 men and 7 women is 70*35 = 2450.

ehidna [41]

Answer: 125

Step-by-step explanation:

4/25 = 20/Y

Cross multiply to get the equation

4Y = 500

Divide both sides by 4

Y=125

Jim went by bus to visit his uncle. He left at 10 A.M. and arrived at 4 P.M. The bus traveled 270 mi. What was its average speed
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Average speed, S = 45 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Take-off time = 10 AM

Arrival time = 4 PM

Distance = 270 miles

To find the average speed of the bus;

First of all, we would determine the total time.

10 AM to 4 PM = 6 hours

Total time = 6 hours

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Speed = \frac{270}{6}

<em>Average speed, S = 45 mph</em>

<em />

<em>Therefore, the average speed of the bus is 45 miles per hour.</em>
