<span>Answer is: 414 pounds of red fescue and 138 pounds of chewings fescue is needed to produce 552 pounds of mixture.</span>

<span>Explanation:
x - how much of red fescue is needed for one pound of mixture
y - how much of chewings fescue is needed for one pound of mixture</span>x*12+ y*16 = 15<span>x + y = 1
so, x=1-y
putting it into first line:</span><span>(1-y)*12 + y*16 = 15
12 - 12*y + 16*y = 15
4*y = 3
y=3/4
so, x= 1-3/4; x=1/4</span>So to produce 552 pounds of mixture we need..<span>To produce 1 pound of mixture we need: 3/4 pound of red fescue and 1/4 pound of chewing fescue so to produce 552 pounds of miture we need:
552*3/4 - red fescue, which is 414 pounds needed
and
552/4 - chewings fescue, which is 138 pounds needed</span>

Answer:

e+ f = 8 (total solution)

8e + 56f = 20*8 (total saline)

---

e+ f = 8

e + 7f = 20

------------ Subtract

-6f = -12

f = 2

e = 6

How can you determine if you need to use a combination or permutation to count the number of outcomes? Which will usually have m
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation : It is an arrangement of r elements out of n elements.

Combination : it is a selection of r element out of n elements .

Suppose we have a set

S={1,2,3}

If two elements are taken at a time then

Using permutation formula

Total number of outcomes=3P_2

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3!}{(3-2)!}

Total number of outcomes=3!=3\times 2\times1=6

Using combination formula

\binom{n}{r}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Total number of outcomes=\binom{3}{2}=\frac{3!}{2!1!}

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3\times2!}{2!}

Hence, total number of outcomes=3

Total number of outcomes determined by permutation have more outcomes.

Because permutation is an arrangement of elements  therefore, it consider order of arrangement of element   but combination is a selection of elements it does no consider order of elements

Arrangements of two elements out of 3 elements

{1,2},{2,3},{2,1},{3,2},{1,3},{3,1}

By using combination if two elements taken at a time then combination

{1,2},{2,3},{1,3}

1. Each row in a window display of floppy disk cartons contains two more boxes than the row above. The first row has one box. a.
Oduvanchick [21]
Each row has two more boxes than the row above. The first row has one box 

The boxes in a row form an arithmetic sequence with the first term, a₁ = 1 and the common difference, d=2.
The n-th term is
a_{n} = a+(n-1)d
The sum of n terms is
S_{n} = \frac{n}{2}(a_{1} + a_{n})

Answer:
The table will have the following:

Row Number:                        1   2   3    4    5    6
Boxes in the row:                  1   3   5    7    9    11
Total boxes in the display:    1   4   9  16  25  36
