If I have a stack of pennies. And I have to tell that without counting whether there are even number of pennies or odd.

Even numbers are the numbers which are divisible by 2 and odd numbers are the numbers which are not divisible by 2.

Then I will put the given pennies in 2 rows and then I will match them to form a pair of 2 pennies. After matching, if there is 1 penny left over, then there is an odd number of pennies and if all the pennies have a match,then there is an even number of pennies.

Two buses leave towns 576 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One bus travels 12

KIM [24]

Answer:

Rate of slower bus; 90 km/h

Rate of faster bus; 102 km/b

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that formula do distance is;

Distance = speed/time

We are told that One bus travels 12h slower than the other.

Let speed of slower bus be x.

Thus;

Speed of faster bus = x + 12

Speed of slower bus = x

After 3 hours, distance by faster bus = 3(x + 12)

Speed of slower bus = 3x

Since the towns are 576 km apart, then;

3(x + 12) + 3x = 576

Divide through by 3 to get;

x + 12 + x = 192

2x + 12 = 192

2x = 192 - 12

2x = 180

x = 180/2

x = 90 km/h

Faster bus speed = 90 + 12 = 102 km/h

The Fundamental Counting Principle say that the number of total outcomes is equal to the product of the number of ways of all the events occur in the problem.

Using Fundamental Counting Principle, we have the total number of possible outcomes for the given situation :-

$4\times2\times5\times4=160$

Hence, the total number of possible outcomes = 160
