Answer: 9

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 2 ways to do this.

The first one is to actually just rearrange the letters as many ways as possible. So here's this method:

1. APE

2. AEP

3. PAE

4. PEA

5. EAP

6. EPA

So this method is fine when you just have 3 letters but once you get to more and more letters this becomes close to impossible to do. That's why we use the second method: factorials. When all of the letters in the word are different the equation is really simple. Since the word APE has 3 letters your equation will be <u>3!</u>

[Mini lesson time!!!

What the happy little exclamation point does means is that you should take the number in front of it and multiply it by all of the numbers that come before it.]

So lets solve this now:

3!=x

1·2·3=x

<u>6</u>=x

(Once again... this method only works if all of the letters in the word are DIFFERENT. For example if you had the word FUNNEST, you would use a different equation because there are 2 of the letter 'N'.)

If anything I've said is confusing or you need any other help just let me know!!

Lea has 3/4 cup of laundry detergent left in detergent bottle. Each load of laundry requires 1/6 cup of detergent. How many load
Stells [14]
ANSWER

Lea can wash 4½ loads of laundry with the remaining detergent.

EXPLANATION

Quantity of detergent left
= \frac{3}{4}

Quantity required to watch each load
= \frac{1}{6}

Number of loads Lea can wash
= \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{6}

We now simplify this by multiplying with the reciprocal

Number of loads Lea can wash

= \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{6}{1}

= \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{3}{1}

= \frac{9}{2}

= 4 \frac{1}{2}

Therefore Lea can wash 4½ loads of laundry with the remaining detergent.

What's a number greater than 40 whose prime factorization contains 3 prime numbers that do not repeat
Leya [2.2K]
Well to make it easy pick 3 prime numbers. In this case I'll use 3, 11, and 13. Multiply all 3 together to get 429. For the second part, pick a prime number and multiply it by 3, in this case 3, which when multiplied by 3 equals 9. Multiply that by a prime number squared, like 11 which is 121. Then multiply by 13. 3x3x3x11x11x13 = 42471 THE CREDIT GOES TO ICEDRAPTOR
