Answer: N = 40,320

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange 10 people to a line of 8 people.

The number of ways is n = 10P8.

But since the condition given states that 2 people must stay in two particular slots.

The number of possible arrangements becomes;

N = number of ways of arranging the remaining people × number of ways of arranging the other 2.

N = 8P6 × 2P2

N = 8!/2! × 2!

N = 20,160 × 2

N = 40,320 ways

Jamie kept track of the total hours and minutes she worked this week at the local health food store.
ddd [48]

1 hour = 60 minutes.

Convert the minutes to decimals by diving by 60

30/60 = 0.5

2 hours and 30 minutes = 2.5 hours

45/60 = 0.75

5 hours 45 minutes = 5.75 hours

15/50 = 0.25

3 hours 15 minutes = 3.25 hours

Ow add all the hours:

2.5 + 5 + 5.75 + 3.25 = 16.5 hours

A and B are complementary angles. If A = (x – 23)° and m
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

∠ B = 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles sum to 90° , then

x - 23 + 2x + 29 = 90 , that is

3x + 6 = 90 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3x = 84 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 28

Then

∠ B = 2x + 29 = 2(28) + 29 = 56 + 29 = 85°
