Answer:

a) 1470 ways

b) 2835 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is not correct, in the correct question The number of independents should be 3 not 2

there are 7 republicans, 10 democrats and 3 independents.

C(n,r) is the number of different combinations of n distinct objects taken r at a time.

C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

a) it will consist of 1 Republican and 4 Democrats

The number of ways this can be chosen is = C(7,1) × C(10,4) = \frac{7!}{(7-1)!1!}  * \frac{10!}{(10-4)!4!} = 7 × 210 = 1470 ways

(b) it will consist of 2 Republicans, 2 Democrats, and 2 Independents (consist of 2 independents not 3)

The number of ways this can be chosen is = C(7,2) × C(10,2) × C(2,2)

 =\frac{7!}{(7-2)!2!}  * \frac{10!}{(10-2)!2!}* \frac{3!}{(3-2)!2!} = 21 × 45 × 3 = 2835 ways

One of the acute angles in a right triangle has a measure of 36.6°. What is the measure of the other acute angle?
Solnce55 [7]
Triangles equal 180 degrees total
It’s a right triangle so one of the angles is 90 degrees and we know another angle is 36.6
So 90+36.6= 126.6
180-126.6= 53.4
So I’m assuming the correct answer is C since that’s the closet number to 53.4

At the movie theater, childs admission is $6.10. Adult admission is $9.40. On Tuesday four times as many adult tickets as child
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The number of children's tickets sold was 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of children's tickets sold

y ----> the number of adult's tickets sold

we know that

6.10x+9.40y=1,179.90 ----> equation A

y=4x ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

6.10x+9.40(4x)=1,179.90

solve for x

6.10x+37.6x=1,179.90

43.7x=1,179.90

x=27

therefore

The number of children's tickets sold was 27
