The first thing to do is to calculate how many ways you can choose 3 people from a set of eight.  In order to do this, we need to use the attached formula.
(The letter 'n' stands for the entire set and 'r' stands for the number of objects we wish to choose.)
So we wish to choose 3 people ('r') form a set of 8 ('n')
combinations = n! / r! * (n - r)!
combinations = 8 ! / (3! * 5!)
combinations = 8 * 7 * 6 * 5! / (3!) * (5!)
combinations = 8 * 7 * 6 / 3 * 2
combinations = 56

Now of those 56 combinations, the 3 people can finish in 6 different ways.
For example, persons A, B and C could finish
ABC or ACB or BAC or BCA or CAB or CBA

So to get the TOTAL combinations we multiply 56 * 6 which equals
336 so the answer is (a)

Identify the range of the fuction shown in the graph
Viefleur [7K]

The answer would be B. -2 < x < 2 because if you look at the graph, the range would be left and right. So, the farthest to the left would be -2 and the farthest to the right would be 2.

It wouldn't be all real numbers.

1. 48 c = __qt
Scorpion4ik [409]
Number 1:
We know that 1 quart = 4 cups. That means we need to divide 48 by 4.
What is 48 / 4=12
Number 1 is D
Number 2
We know that oz =0.0625 pounds
Well we multiply 0.0625 by 92 and get 6
Number 2 is B
Number 3
We know that 1 yd = 3 ft
We have to multiply. 3*6=18 But we have to add that one 18+1=19
Number 3 is C
Number 4
We know that 6 pounds = 96 oz from earlier and half of a pound is 8  so that means we do 96+8=104
Number 4 is A

 Hope this really helped!

A circular plate has a circumference of 119.32cm. Calculate the diameter.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Diameter is equal to 38 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the circumference equals  πd (where d is the diameter).

If we round the value of π to 3.14 then we will get...

πd = 119.32

(3.14)d = 119.32

d = 119.32 / 3.14

d = 38 cm

Therefore the diameter is equal to 38 cm
