Answer: 14,515,200
Note: this is a single number (not an ordered triple or a collection of three different numbers) roughly equal to about 14.5 million if you round to the nearest hundred thousand.
----------------------------------------------
Explanation:
There are 13 people. Let's call them person A, person B, person C, ... all the way up to person M. The first four people are given who we'll call A through D. The rest (E through M) aren't really important since they aren't named.
A = Monsier Thenardier
B = Madame Thenardier
C = Cosette
D = Marius
Peron's E through M = remaining 9 people
------------------
A and B must stick together. Because of this, we can consider "AB" as one "person".
So we go from 13 people to 13-2+1 = 12 "people".
Likewise, C and D must stick together. We can consider "CD" as one "person". So we go from 12 "people" to 12-2+1 = 11 "people"
------------------
The question is now: how many ways can we arrange these 11 "people" around a circular table? The answer is (n-1)! ways where n = 11 in this case
So, (n-1)! = (11-1)! = 10! = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 3,628,800
We're almost at the answer. We need to do two adjustments.
First off, for any single permutation, there are two ways to arrange "AB". The first is "AB" itself and the second is the reverse of that "BA". So we will multiply 3,628,800 by 2 to get 2*3,628,800 = 7,257,600
Using similar logic for "CD", we double 7,257,600 to get 2*7,257,600 = 14,515,200
The final answer is 14,515,200
Answer:
Option A.) 20 pounds of walnuts and 25 pounds of almonds is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) let x be the the number of pounds of almonds
ii) let y be the number of pounds of walnuts
iii) therefore x + y = 45 pounds of the mixture
iv) 1.2x + 0.75y = 1.00 
45 = 45
v) Multipling equation in iv) by 4 we get
4.8x + 3y = 180
vi) multiplying equation in iii) by 3 we get
3x + 3y = 135
vii) subtracting equation vi) from equation v) we get 1.8x = 45
ix) therefore we get x = 45/1.8 = 25 pounds of almonds
x) therefore 25 + y = 45 .... substituting value of x from ix) in iii) we get
therefore y = 20 pounds of walnuts
Therefore option A.) 20 pounds of walnuts and 25 pounds of almonds is correct.
Answer:
40 square metres
Step-by-step explanation:
The shaded region is of a triangle, whose area is denoted by: A = (1/2) * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.
Since the left figure is a square with side lengths 10, we know that the height of the triangle is also 10 metres. The right figure is a rectangle with length 4. Since the total base length of the entire figure is 18 and the base of the square is 10, then the width of the rectangle is 18 - 10 = 8 metres.
This width is also the base of the triangle, so b = 8.
Now plug these values into the equation:
A = (1/2) * b * h
A = (1/2) * 8 * 10 = (1/2) * 80 = 40
The area is 40 square metres.
