A combination is an unordered arrangement of r distinct objects in a set of n objects. To find the number of permutations, we use the following equation:
n!/((n-r)!r!)
In this case, there could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5 cards discarded. There is only one possible combination each for 0 or 5 cards being discarded (either none of them or all of them). We will be the above equation to find the number of combination s for 1, 2, 3, and 4 discarded cards.
5!/((5-1)!1!) = 5!/(4!*1!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(4*3*2*1*1) = 5
5!/((5-2)!2!) = 5!/(3!2!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(3*2*1*2*1) = 10
5!/((5-3)!3!) = 5!/(2!3!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(2*1*3*2*1) = 10
5!/((5-4)!4!) = 5!/(1!4!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(1*4*3*2*1) = 5
Notice that discarding 1 or discarding 4 have the same number of combinations, as do discarding 2 or 3. This is being they are inverses of each other. That is, if we discard 2 cards there will be 3 left, or if we discard 3 there will be 2 left.
Now we add together the combinations
1 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 32 choices combinations to discard.
The answer is 32.
-------------------------------
Note: There is also an equation for permutations which is:
n!/(n-r)!
Notice it is very similar to combinations. The only difference is that a permutation is an ORDERED arrangement while a combination is UNORDERED.
We used combinations rather than permutations because the order of the cards does not matter in this case. For example, we could discard the ace of spades followed by the jack of diamonds, or we could discard the jack or diamonds followed by the ace of spades. These two instances are the same combination of cards but a different permutation. We do not care about the order.

Answer:
2/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
.
So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19
red=19
blue=8
<span>A) How many cups of flour are there per serving?
</span>1 ½ cups of flour --------<span>6 servings
? cups of flour ------- 1 serving
</span>1 ½
------------
6
= 3/2 x 1/6
= 1/4
answer: 1/4 cups of flour per serving
<span>B) how many total cups of sugar(white and brown) are there per serving?
</span>total white and brown: <span>2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1 cups (combine)
1 cup of sugar (white and brown) </span>--------6 servings
? cups of sugar (white and brown) ------ 1 serving
1
----- = 1/6
6
answer: 1/6 cups of sugar (white and brown) per serving
<span> (c) Suppose you modify the recipe so that it makes 9 servings. How much more flour do you need for the modified recipe than you need for the original recipe?
</span>
3/2 cups of flour --------6 servings
? cups of flour -----------9 servings
9 * 3/2
-----------
6
= (13 1/2) / 6
= 2 1/4
2 1/4 ( 9 servings) - 1 1/2(6 servings) = 3/4 cups
answer: you need 3/4 more cups of flour
Answer:
The answer is 9 + 21b
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the expression.
