There are many ways to solve number 5 as it is just an reduce/enlargement of equidistant fractions
The first method that came up to my mind is just dividing denominators.
For A) you can do 72 divided by 18 which would give you 4. Then you can divide the given numerator with the answer you got from dividing the denominators. This would be 8 divided by 4 which would give you two. This means that 2/18 is equal to 8/72. You can check by simplifying the fraction. Both 2/18 and 8/72 equal 9 when simplified, therefore correct.
You can use this method for b, either use a calculator because of the decimals or just remove the decimals and replace them later. Make sure when you use this method, you are always dividing the bigger number. So in B you would do 40.3 divided by 12.4
Gerald traveled 605 miles. In order to get this answer you subtract 109,875 from 110,480.
This is a problem of Permutations. We have 3 cases depending on the number of B's. Since no more than three B's can be used we can use either one, two or three B's at a time.
Case 1: Five A's and One B
Total number of letters = 6
Total number of words possible =
Case 2: Five A's and Two B's
Total number of letters = 7
Total number of words possible =
Case 3: Five A's and Three B's
Total number of letters = 8
Total number of words possible =
Total number of possible words will be the sum of all three cases.
Therefore, the total number of words that can be written using exactly five A's and no more than three B's (and no other letters) are 6 + 21 + 56 = 83
