Answer:

She can paint 13 vases completely and 1/3rd of 14th vase  in 2 1/2 quarts of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quart of paint for 1 vase = 3/16

Total paint in Quart with Lydia = 2 1/2 = 2 + 1/2 = 5/2

No of flower she can paint = Total paint ÷ paint for 1 vase

                                              = 5/2 ÷ 3/16 = 5/2×16/3 = 40/3

                                              = 13 1/3

hence She can paint 13 vases completely and 1/3rd of 14th vase  in 2 1/2 quarts of paint.

ipn [44]
 solution
 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
Therefore, to convert to cubic measurements
 (1 in)³ = (2.54 cm)³
 Thus;
1 in³ = 16.387 cm³
Hence 305 cubic inches will be equivalent to
  305 × 16.387
 = 4998.035 cm³

Three stamps can be attached to each other in various ways.how many ways might three stamps be attached?
ivanzaharov [21]
Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula. 
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C. 
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space. 
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.
