Write the following as a ratio: $72 for 488 photos

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The required ratio is 9 : 61

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

$72 for 488 photos,

That is, the price of 488 photos = 72 dollars,

So, the ratio of price of photos and number of photos = $\frac{72}{488}$

∵ HCF(72, 488) = 8,

Thus, the ratio of price of photos and number of photos = $\frac{72\div 8}{488\div 8}$

= $\frac{9}{61}$

<u>Solution: </u>

The number of combinations of n things such that m things taken together are given by:-

$C_{(\boldsymbol{n}, \boldsymbol{m})}=\frac{n !}{m !(\boldsymbol{n}-\boldsymbol{m}) !}$

Given Data:

A committee consisting of 4 faculty members and 5 students is to be formed. There are 12 faculty members and 13 students eligible to serve on the committee.

Then, the number of ways to form the committee is formed given by :-

$\begin{array}{l}{12 C_{4} \times 13 C_{5}} \\\\ {=\frac{12 !}{4 !(12-4) !} \times \frac{13 !}{5 !(13-5) !}} \\\\ {=\frac{12 !}{4 ! 8 !} \times \frac{13 !}{5 ! 8 !}} \\\\ {\frac{12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 !}{27 \times 8 !} \times \frac{13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8}{120 \times 8 !}} \\\\ {=637065}\end{array}$
