Answer: 4004ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Students =15

Total number of students to be on the committee =5

Since two members are of the same major and must not be on the committee, then we are left with choosing 5 people from just 14 People after we eventually remove one from those two students with same majors.

Hence to select 5 people from 14 people, we use the combination formula 14C5.

From the two students with same major we also use the combination Formula in knowing the number of ways any of the two students can be chosen. To choose one from these two students, we use the combination Formula 2C1.

Hence, the total number of ways to choose the committee of 5 and ensuring the two students with same major aren't on the committee becomes:

= 14C5 * 2C1

= 2002 * 2

= 4004ways.

Max can type 160 words in 5 minutes. How long would it take him to type 400 words? * A. 12.50 minB. 13 minC. 10.50 minD. 12 min
blagie [28]
To find how long it would take him, one has to divide 400 by 160 and then multiply 5 by what that number is. You multiply 5 by the quotient because that is the number that would make it proportional. 400/160 x 5 is 12.5, meaning that the answer is 12.5 minutes, or A.

A rectangle's perimeter and area have the same value. The width of the rectangle is 6 units. What is the length of the rectangle
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The length ot rectangle is 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for perimeter is P = 2l + 2w and the area is A = l×w. Assuming that the perimeter and area have the same values so you have to compare it :

perimeter = 2l + 2w

area= l \times w

perimeter = area

2l + 2w = lw

let \: w = 6

2l + 2(6) = 6l

2l + 12 = 6l

12 = 6l - 2l

4l = 12

l  = 3 \: units
