Answer:

There are 35 different sets of 3 books Joe could choose

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Combination is a collection of the objects where the order doesn't

 matter

- The formula for the number of possible combinations of r objects from

 a set of n objects is nCr = n!/r!(n-r)!

- n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2)................. × 1

Lets solve the problem

- Joe has one book each for algebra, geometry, history, psychology,

 Spanish, English and Physics in his locker

∴ He has <em>seven</em> books in the locker

- He wants to chose <em>three</em> of them

∵ The order is not important when he chose the books

∴ We will use the combination <em>nCr</em> to find how many different sets

  of three books he can choose

- The total number of books is 7

∴ n = 7

∵ He chooses 3 of them

∴ r = 3

∵ 7C3 = 7!/3!(7 - 3)! = 7!/3!(4!)

∴ 7C3=\frac{(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)}{[(3)(2)(1)][(4)(3)(2)(1)]}=35

∴ 7C3 = 35

* There are 35 different sets of 3 books Joe could choose

If y varies directly as x, what is the value of y in (4,16) and (2,y)
miss Akunina [59]
Y varies directly with x means y = kx or y/x = k where k is the constant of variation (slope)

Using \frac{y}{x} = \frac{y}{x} we can plug in the x and y values from the given points.

We get the following proportion:
\frac{16}{4} = \frac{y}{2}
32 = 4y ← cross multiply
8 = y ← divide both sides by 4

ANSWER: y = 8

A solution was prepared by dissolving 135 g of LiF into 50.0 g of solution. Find the
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

25.0%

Step-by-step explanation:

pretty sure its this hope you get it right good luck

A solution's mass by mass percent concentration,

m/m%

, tells you the number of grams of solute present for every

100 g

of solution.

Your solution contains two substances: sodium chloride,

NaCl

, the solute, and water, the solvent. To find the total mass of the solution, add the mass of the solute and the mass of the solvent.

mass solution = 50.0 g + 150.0 g

mass solution = 200.0 g

Now, this solution contains

50.0 g

of solute in

200.0 g

=

2

⋅

100.0 g

of solution. This means that

100.0 g

of solution will contain

50.0 g

2

=

25.0 g

of solute. Since this represents the amount of solute present in

100.0 g

of solution, you can say that the mass by mass percent concentration is equal to

m/m% = 25.0% NaCl

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

The answer is rounded to three sig figs.
