Answer: 120

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

We have seven slots to fill. Let's call the slots A, B, C, D, E, F, G

There are 10 choices for slot A

There are 9 choices for slot B

There are 8 choices for slot C

There are 7 choices for slot D

There are 6 choices for slot E

There are 5 choices for slot F

There are 4 choices for slot G

We count down because each previous slot reduces the pool to choose from. Multiply those values out: 10*9*8*7*6*5*4 = 604800

Now divide that result by 5040. Why 5040? Because this is the number of ways to arrange 7 people within a single grouping. Note how 7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 5040. W're dividing because order does not matter for any committee.

So we have 604800/5040 = 120 which is the answer we want

---------------

Side note: We could use the alternate route of the nCr combination formula

nCr = (n!)/(r!*(n-r)!)

where n = 10 and r = 7

Jeff drinks 2/3 of a glass of juice. write a fraction that is equivalent to 2/3
frutty [35]
Some fractions that are equivalent to 2/3 are 4/6 and 6/9
to find equivalent fractions, you just have to reduce the fraction or multiply both the top and bottom numbers by the same number to increase the fraction.
2/3 is as reduced as it can be, though.

Solve for c.<br><br> 2(c +1) = 10
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

c=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(c+1)=10

(2)(c)+(2)(1)=10(Distribute)

2c+2=10

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

2c+2−2=10−2

2c=8

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2c

2 = 8

2

c=4
