Answer:
a) 66
b) 45
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 12 horses and after the first race 2 of them have to be eliminated
that condition is equal to consider that 10 horses will be available for the second race.
The number of possiblities we have for the first race is the combination of 12 horses in group of 10
C¹²₁₀ = 12!/ (2!)* (12-2)! = 12*11/2 = 66
For the second race
C¹⁰₈ = 10! / 8! * (10-8)! = 10*9/ 2 = 45
It has to be red since there are the most red marbles in the bag
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
, substituting values
= 
( cross- multiply )
21x = 7(24 - x) ← distribute
21x = 168 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )
28x = 168 ( divide both sides by 28 )
x = 6 → C
---- x ----
| | 0.25x
---- x ----
x + x + 0.25x + 0.25x = 35
2.5x = 35
x = 35/2.5
x = 14
width is 14
length is 1/4 this.
length = 7/2
When comparing to thing with same rate, set up a proportion:
Inches/cost
13/.78=33/x
(13)(x)=(.78)(33) [cross multiplied]
13x=25.74 [simplified]
13/13x=25.74/13 [division property]
x=1.98
33 inches of wire will cost $1.98.
