Answer:  34,650



Step-by-step explanation:

Given Word : "MISSISSIPPI"

The total number of letters in the given word: 11

Number of times S appears : 4

Number  of times I appears : 4

Number of times P appears :2

 

Now, by permutations the number of arrangements of the letters in the given word will be :

n=\dfrac{11!}{4!4!2!}\\\\=34650

Hence, the the number of arrangements of the letters in the given word= 34,650.

on the last night of scout camp Chris his wife Joe and the 11 other adults sit down for supper along one side of a long rectangu
yawa3891 [41]

Based on the information provided, it follows that there are 1,728 possible seating arrangements.

<h3>How can we find the number of possible arrangements?</h3>

To find the number of arrangements in this problem situation we must take into account the following key factors:

  • Chris only has 1 possible seat.
  • Jo has 2 possible seats.
  • Dave, Alex, and Barb have 3 possible seats.
  • Gareth, Fred, and Eddie have 3 possible seats.
  • There are 4 other adults who do not have a preference in seats but have the possibility of using 4 seats.

According to the above, we must use the factorization of these numbers to find out the number of possibilities we have to seat them.

<h3>What is factoring?</h3>

A factorial function is a mathematical tool that is characterized by using the exclamation mark “!” behind a number. The factorial function is used to express that the number accompanied by the symbol must be multiplied by all positive integers between that number and 1.

In accordance with the above, in the problem situation that we must solve, we must use the factorial function with the possibilities of:

  • Dave, Alex and Barb: 3! = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6
  • Gareth, Fred and Eddie: 3! = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6
  • Other 4 adults: 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24

Subsequently, to calculate the number of total possibilities of the entire group we must multiply the possibilities of each group and individual as shown below:

  • Number of possibilities = 1 × 2 × 6 × 6 × 24
  • Number of possibilities = 1728

Calculate the volume of the right rectangular prism shown. <br><br> Edulastic Question
Marysya12 [62]

since we have the area of the front side, to get its volume we can simple get the product of the area and the length, let's firstly change the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

\stackrel{mixed}{23\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{23\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{71}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{7}{8}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 8+7}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{39}{8}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{71}{3}\cdot \cfrac{39}{8}\implies \cfrac{71}{8}\cdot \cfrac{39}{3}\implies \cfrac{71}{8}\cdot 13\implies \cfrac{923}{8}\implies 115\frac{3}{8}~in^3
