Answer: 4 × 5 × 6 = 120

Explanation:

1) This is a direct use of the counting principle, which states that the number of different ways a combination of independent events can happen is equal to the product of the number of different outcomes for each event.

That is, if event A can have m different outcomes, event B can have n different outcomes, and event C can have p different outcomes, the total number of different combinations is m × n × p.

2) In this case, the lawyer can use 4 different pais of pants, 5 different shirts, and 6 different ties, so the number of different combinations of the three items is: 4 × 5 × 6 = 120.

3) You can see that if you make a diagram (may be a tree diagram).

With that you can see that each pair of pants, can go with 5 shirts, which make 4 × 5 different couples of pants - shirts. After that, each different couple of pants - shirts can go with 6 different ties, so you have 4 × 5 × 6 three-piece combinations.

A 10ft by 20ft rectangular swimming pool is surrounded by a walkway of uniform width. If the total area of the walkway is 216ft^
Dmitry [639]

check the picture below.


so, we know the dimensions of the pool, is a 20x10, so its area is simply 200 ft², and we know the walkway is 216 ft², so the whole thing, including pool and walkway is really 200 + 216 ft².


now, as you see in the picture, the dimensions for the combined area is 20+2x and 10+2x, since the walkway is "x" long, therefore,


\bf \stackrel{length}{(20+2x)}\stackrel{width}{(10+2x)}=200+216\implies \stackrel{FOIL}{4x^2+60x+200}=200+216 \\\\\\ 4x^2+60x=216\implies \stackrel{dividing~by~4}{x^2+15x=54} \\\\\\ x^2+15x-54=0\implies (x+18)(x-3)=0\implies x= \begin{cases} -18\\ \boxed{3} \end{cases}


notice, it cannot be -18, since is a positive length unit.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Alex has some target to run a certain number of miles by the end of the month.

Goal already achieved = 40% of the total goal

Number of miles already run by Alex = 12 miles

To find:

Number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of month?

Solution:

We have to find nothing but the goal of Alex here.

Let the number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of the month = x miles

As per question statement:

40% of total number of miles to be run = 12 miles

OR

\dfrac{40}{100}\times x = 12\\\Rightarrow 40x=12\times 100\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{1200}{40}\\\Rightarrow \bold{x = 30\ miles}

Total number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of the month = <em>30 miles</em>
