The astronomer has to choose 3 star images out of 8.This is a problem of combinations. This can be expressed as 8C3 i.e. combination of 8 objects taken 3 at a time.

8C3= \frac{8!}{3!*5!}=56

This means, if 8 images are nearby the astronomer will have 56 choices <span>of the three stars.</span>

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

First, find the area for the kitchen floor: 16.5*15=247.5 squared feet

Then find the area for one tile: 0.5*0.5=0.25 squared feet

Finally, divide the mayor area between the minor: 247.5/0.25= 990 tiles.

Also you can do it in this another way:

First, divide length of the kitchen floor between the length of one tile: 16.5/0.5=33

Then, do the same for the height: 15/0.5=30

Finally multyply both results: 33*30= 990 tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

or just 990
