There are 18 skaters competing in the competition. How many ways can they win the gold, silver, and bronze medal?

2 answers:

3 0

Only one person can win gold, silver, and bronze. The order of the winner does matter. So it’ll be 18 times 17 times 16.

Answer: 4,896

Stwhiep-by-step explanation:

Given, There are 18 skaters competing in the competition.

To find : The number of ways in which they can win gold, silver, and bronze medal.

Since, in distribution of medals(gold, silver, and bronze) we require 3 winners in a particular order, so for this we use Permutations.

According to permutation , number of ways of selecting r things out of n = $\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

Then, The number of ways in which 18 skaters can win 3 medals= $\dfrac{18!}{(18-3)!}=\dfrac{18\times17\times16\times15!}{15!}=4,896$

Hence, the required number of ways =4,896

find the length of the line segment with end points (7,2) and (-4,2) explain how you arrived at your solution

Inga [223]

Answer:

<h2>11 units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

The formula of a distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We have the points (7, 2) and (-4, 2). Substitute:

$d=\sqrt{(2-2)^2+(-4-7)^2}=\sqrt{0^2+(-11)^2}=\sqrt{11^2}=11$

Method 2:

Look at the picture. Mark points in the coordinate system.

Read the length of the segment.

Jeff gave 1/4 of a sum of money to his wife. Then he divided the remainder equally among his 4 children.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

A) The fraction of sum of money did each child receive is $\frac{3 x}{16}$

B) The sum of money did Jeff have $ 3200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Let The sum of money did Jeff have = $ x

The fraction of money did Jeff's wife get = $\frac{1}{4}$ of $ x

The remaining money Jeff will have = $ x - $\frac{1}{4}$ of $ x

I.e The remaining money Jeff will have = $\frac{4 x - x}{4}$

= $\frac{3 x}{4}$

A ) The remaining amount of money is divided equally among 4 children

So, The fraction of sum of money did each child receive = $\frac{\frac{3 x}{4}}{4}$

I.e The fraction of sum of money did each child receive = $\frac{3 x}{16}$

B ) If each child will receive $ 600

∴, $\frac{3 x}{16}$ = $ 600

Or, 3 x = $ 600 × 16

Or, 3 x = $ 9600

∴ x = $\frac{9600}{3}$

I.e x = $ 3200

So, The sum of money did Jeff have $ 3200

Hence ,

A) The fraction of sum of money did each child receive is $\frac{3 x}{16}$

B) The sum of money did Jeff have $ 3200 Answer

help pleaseeeeee!!!!!!!!!! How many unit cubes would it take to completely fill the prism with no gaps between unit cubes?

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see the top - view is a rectangle of 2 by 9 dimensions. Respectively the right - side view is a rectangle of 2 by 4 dimensions. The common dimension among both rectangles would be 2, making this rectangular prism have dimensions 2 by 4 by 9.

Therefore the rectangular prism will have a volume of 2 $*$ 4 $*$ 9

2 $*$ 4 $*$ 9 = 8( 9 ) = 72 cubic units

Solution : 72 unit cubes
