Answer:

120 tries

Step-by-step explanation:

You can try 5 different wires in the first connection.

Then you have 4 wires left, so you try 4 wires in the second connection. Remember, you are now trying 4 wires for each of the first 5, so up to here you already made 4 * 5 tries = 20 tries.

Next you try 3, then 2, then you have 1 left.

Number of tries: 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120

Answer: 120 tries

What is the weight of 320 jars if each jar weighs 3 pounds 2 ounces?
salantis [7]
First, covert 3 pounds to ounces...then add the 2 ounces given. The weight of one jar, in ounces, is 50 ounces. Given that, multiply 320 by 50. The answer to that is 16,000. Therefore, there are 16,000 in 320 jars. To get the answer pack to pounds....divide 16,000 by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. The answer would be 1,000 pounds. Meaning, there are 1,000 pounds OR 16,000 ounces in 320 jars. Hope this helps :)

Over [174]
Perimeter=(2*length)+(2*width)
length=2*w
132=(2(2w))+(2w)
132=(4w)+(2w)
132=6w
w=22
l=44
