Answer:

a)  66

b)  45

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 12 horses and after the first race 2 of them have to be eliminated

that condition is equal to consider that 10 horses will be available for the second race.

The number of possiblities we have for the first race is the combination of 12 horses in group of 10

C¹²₁₀   =  12!/ (2!)* (12-2)!   =  12*11/2   = 66

For the second race

C¹⁰₈  = 10! / 8! * (10-8)!   =   10*9/ 2   = 45

A. A newborn red panda weighs 100 grams. A
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

y=100\cdot (1.07)^d

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the expression to represent how much you would expect a cub to weigh d days after it's born as exponential growth function y=a\cdot b^d, where a is the initial panda's weight and b is the rate of growth.​

A newborn red panda weighs 100 grams, then a=100.

A healthy cub gains about 7% of its newborn weight per day, then

b=1+0.07=1.07

Hence,

y=100\cdot (1.07)^d

What decimal is equal to 31/100
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you divide 31 by 100 all you have to do is move the decimal from right to left the number of zeros you have. Here we have 2 zeros so we move from right to left twice.
