Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You must use a combination:

$_nC_k=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

We have <em>n = 16</em>, <em>k = 3</em>.

Substitute:

$_{16}C_3=\dfrac{16!}{3!(16-3)!}=\dfrac{13!\cdot14\cdot15\cdot16}{2\cdot3\cdot13!}\qquad\text{cancel}\ 13!\\\\=\dfrac{14\cdot15\cdot16}{2\cdot3}=\dfrac{7\cdot5\cdot16}{1}=560$

Which equation represents this number sentence?<br> Two more than one-third of a number is 8

Alja [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One - third = 1/3

then:

one third of a number = a*1/3 = a/3

Then the equation that represents this sentence is:

2 + a/3 = 8

process:

a/3 = 8 - 2

a/3 = 6

a = 6*3

a = 18

Check:

2 + 18/3 = 8

2 + 6 = 8

the ratio of sadia's age to her father's age is 3:6. The sum of their age is 96 .What is sadia's age

max2010maxim [7]

We have,

$a:b=3:6,a+b=96$

Introduce variable $x$ such that $a=3x,b=6x$

The sum $a+b=96$ is therefore $9x=96\implies x=10.\overline{6}$

So,

$a=3\cdot10.\overline{6}=\boxed{32}$ (sadia's age)

$b=6\cdot10.\overline{6}=\boxed{64}$ (father's age)

Hope this helps :)
