Answer:

The combination is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 people in a raffle drawing. two raffle winners each wing gift cards . each gift card is the same.

Lets call the winners Winner 1, Winner 2. According to the given statement each gift card is same, thus any permutation of these two winners are  equivalent.This tells us that the order of winners does not matter and the situation involves a combination.

Now we have to calculate the combination of 2 winners from 6 people.

nCm = m!/n!(m-n)!

where m = 6

n = 2

2C6 = 6!/2!(6-2)!

2C6 = 6!/2!(4)!

2C6 = 6*5*4*3*2*1/2*1*4*3*2*1

2C6= 6*5/2*1

2C6=30/2

2C6 = 15

Thus the combination is 15....

Length and breadth of a rectangular field is 5 : 3. If the breadth of rectangle is 60m, find the length of the rectangle.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio of length to breadth is 5 : 3

hence in fraction form it is 5/3

the breadth of rectangle is 60m

let the length be x

So

5/3= x/3

cross multiply we have

5*3= 3x

15= 3x

divide both sides by 3

x= 15/3

x= 5m

Hence the length is 5m
