Double check my answer and try to work it out, but this is what I did..

139 divided by 10 is 13.9, so about 14. so about 14 groups of 10.

so if they made 14 groups of their ten dollars, then the local business will contribute 50% of the 10 dollars made (5 dollars) for every time it is sold/gained.

so you will end up with 14 x 5=70. 70+139=209, which is less than 240.

So the answer is NO, it is not reasonable that they will end up with 240 total after the contributions made by raising 139 dollars worth of money.

There are 15 technicians and 11 chemists working in a research lab. They need to form a 5 person safety committee. In how many w

Burka [1]

<h2>There are a total 65,780 ways in which the committee can be made of 5 members.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of technicians in the lab = 15

The total number of chemists in the lab = 11

So, the total members in the lab = 15 + 11 = 26

So, there are total 26 eligible candidates in the lab from which committee of 5 people has to be made.

Now, since there is <u>no restrictions</u> on the choice, so the committee can be formed in nay way, such that:

It may or may not have any technician.

It may or may not have may chemists.

So, the number of ways 5 member can randomly be chosen from a committee of 26 people = $^{26} C_5$

$^{26} C_5$ = $^{26} C_5 = \frac{26!}{5! \times 21!} = 65,780$

Hence, there are a total 65,780 ways in which the committee can be made of 5 members.

Prove that root 7 is irrational by the method of contradiction

Alchen [17]

Let assume that $\sqrt7$ is a rational number. Therefore it can be expressed as a fraction $\dfrac{a}{b}$ where $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $\text{gcd}(a,b)=1$ .
