With a problem like this, set up a proportion (like when making lemonade from a mix).

$\frac{weight}{medicine} = \frac{weight}{medicine}$ is our proportion.

We fill in the the two weights and the 24 grams of medicine in the proportion and solve for the fourth piece not there.

$\frac{150}{24} =\frac{120}{M}$

We shorten medicine to M and we solve for M by cross multiplying.

$150M = 2880$

$M = \frac{2880}{150} = 19.2 grams$

The woman should get 19.2 grams of medicine.

Answer:

$n= 75, 582$

$n= 2300$

$n = 253$

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally the size of the sample sample space is mathematically represented as

$n = \left N } \atop {}} \right. C_r$

Where N is the total number of objects available and r is the number of objects to be selected

So for a, where N = 19 and r = 8

$n = \left 19 } \atop {}} \right. C_8 = \frac{19 !}{(19 - 8 )! 8!}$

$= \frac{19 *18 *17 *16 *15 *14 *13 *12 *11! }{11 ! \ 8!}$

$n= 75, 582$

For b Where N = 25 and r = 3

$n = \left 25 } \atop {}} \right. C_3 = \frac{25 !}{(19 - 3 )! 3!}$

$= \frac{25 *24 *23 *22 ! }{22 ! \ 3!}$

$n= 2300$

For c Where N = 23 and r = 2

$n = \left 23 } \atop {}} \right. C_2 = \frac{23 !}{(23 - 2 )! 2!}$

$= \frac{23 *22 *21! }{21 ! \ 3!}$

$n = 253$
