Answer:

1,404,000 serial numbers can be made

Step-by-step explanation:

For the five digit serial numbers, since all letters and all numbers could be used, then we can use 26 letters (A,B,C,...Z) and 10 numbers (0,1,2,...9).

Now, say the letters and numbers are to occupy the labeled spaces below

_  _  _  _  _

1   2  3  4  5

(NOTE: Spaces 1,2,3 are to be occupied by any of the 26 letter while spaces 4 and 5 are to be occupied by any of the 10 numbers)

For space 1, there are 26 possibilities

For space 2, there will be (26 -1 ) 25 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

For space 3, there will be (26-2) 24 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

For space 4, we have 10 possibilities

and for space 5, we (10-1) 9 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

Therefore, the number of serial numbers that can be made is

26 × 25 × 24 × 10 × 9 = 1404000

Hence, 1,404,000 serial numbers can be made

OR

Using permutation, nPr = n!/(n-r)!

For the letters,

n is the total number; n = 26

and r is the number of available spaces, r = 3

For the numbers,

n = 10

r = 2

Then, we get

26P3 × 10P2

26!/(26-3)! × 10!/(10-2)!

26!/23! × 10!/8!

15600 × 90 = 1404000

Fraction that is less than 5/6 and has a denominator of 8
Evgesh-ka [11]
See 5/6 is obviously more than 1/2 so 4/8 works
also 3/8 or 2/8 or 1/8

if you want all fractions then
5/6=x/8
times 24 both sides
20=3x
divide 3
6 and 2/3=x
basically x/8 such that x<6 and 2/3


examples
6/8
5/8
4/8
3/8
2/8
1/8
I would use the odd ones since the even ones simplify to non-eight denomenators

Four times the quotient of a number and 9 plus 14, how do I right it as an expression?
user100 [1]

The expression is written as (4n/9) + 14

What is an expression?

An expression or mathematical expression is a finite collection of symbols that is well-formed according to context-dependent norms. To assist identify the sequence of operations and other features of logical syntax, mathematical symbols can denote numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. Many writers differentiate between an expression and a formula, with the former referring to a mathematical item and the latter referring to a statement about mathematical things. For instance, is a formula. However, in modern mathematics, and particularly in computer algebra, formulae are considered as expressions that may be evaluated as true or false based on the values assigned to the variables in the expressions.

The expression is written as (4n/9) + 14
