a. If any letters and numbers are allowed, there will be

... 26×26×26×10×10×10 = 260³ = 17,576,000 possible plates

b. If the letters and numbers cannot repeat, there will be

... 26×25×24×10×9×8 = 11,232,000 possible plates with no repeats

c. The proabaility that a randomly chosen plate has no repeats is

... 11,232,000/17,576,000 = 108/169 ≈ 0,63905

_____

When no repeats are allowed, the first letter choice can be any of the 26 letters. The second letter choice must exclude the first letter, so there are only 25 different letters to choose from. Likewise, the third letter choice cannot be either of the first two, so there are only 24 letters to choose from. The reasoning applies to numbers in similar fashion.

Answer:

914.4 mm
0.0479594 km

Step-by-step explanation:

For units conversion, use a conversion factor ratio with the units you do want in the numerator and the units you don't want in the denominator. The numbers in the numerator and denominator give the ratio a value of 1: the numerator is equal to the denominator--just in different units.

1. For feet to mm, you need a couple of additional conversion factors besides the ones shown:

1 foot = 12 in

1 cm = 10 mm

So, the conversion is ...

$(3\text{ ft})\times\dfrac{12\text{ in}}{1\text{ ft}}\times\dfrac{2.54\text{ cm}}{1\text{ in}}\times\dfrac{10\text{ mm}}{1\text{ cm}}=3\times12\times2.54\times10\text{ mm}\\\\=\boxed{914.4\text{ mm}}$

2. The additional factor you need for this problem is ...

1 mile = 5280 feet

So, the conversion is ...

$(157\text{ ft})\times\dfrac{1\text{ mi}}{5280\text{ ft}}\times\dfrac{1\text{ km}}{0.62\text{ mi}}=\dfrac{157}{5280\times0.62}\text{ km}\\\\\approx\boxed{0.0479594\text{ km}}$

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can use Google to do units conversion by typing "3 feet to mm" or "157 feet to km". However, the conversion factor for the latter will be more exact than the one given in this problem. Hence the Google answer to the second question will not be applicable here.

What is the length of AC?

sladkih [1.3K]

When the question says that triangle ABC ~ triangle DEF, that means the triangles are similar. This means that their proportions are the same.
In triangle ABC, side length AB is the equivalent of side length DE in triangle DEF.

Since the proportions must be the same, we can take the known side from triangle ABC, find the equivalent of it on triangle DEF, and find the proportions.
We already found that side length AB ~ side length DE.
Now we can divide the lengths to find the proportions.
28 / 8 = 3.5
This means that each side on triangle ABC will be 3.5 times greater than the equivalent side on triangle DEF.

The length of AC in triangle ABC is 3.5 times the length of DF in triangle DEF.
Side length DF is 10.
Multiply 3.5 by 10 to get the length of AC.
3.5 • 10 = 35
So the length of AC is 35 units.

Answer:
Side length AC in triangle ABC is 35 units.

Hope this helps!
