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.

24) All percents are numbers with the decimal moved 2 to the right. So if you have 275%, move the decimal to the left twice to get a factor of 2.75. that means that the puppy is 2.75 times heavier at 4 months than it was at 2 months. Since you need the answer as a mixed fraction, your answer is;
2.75=2+\frac{3}{4}=2~\frac{3}{4}

28) If 6 of 75 trees are 30+ feet tall and you need to know how many are under, subtract 6 from 75 to get (75 - 6) = 69 trees under 30ft tall.
You're looking for the percent of trees under 30ft tall, so divide the number of trees <30ft by the total number of trees to get;
\frac{69}{75}= .92
Move the decimal 2 to the right to get 92%.
Your answer is that 92% of trees is under 30ft.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer: 0.395 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Martin distance from the hole be X

On first stroke, his golf ball traveled 4/5 of the distance to the hole. That is 4/5 X

On his second stroke, the ball traveled 79 meters and went into the hole

Total distance covered will be

X = 79 + 4/5X

X - 4/5X = 79

X - 0.8X = 79

0.2X = 79

X = 79/0.2 = 395 meters

How many kilometers from the hole was Martin when he started

X = 395/1000 = 0.395 km

enot [183]
One half is equal to 3/6.
One third is equal to 2/6.

After removing 600 litres from the tank, there is a decrease from 3/6 to 2/6

3/6-2/6=1/6

600 litres is 1/6 of the tank. Multiply by 6 to get the capacity of a full tank.

600*6=3600

The tank can hold 3600 litres.
