Five kids can be given cookies in (10 + 5 - 1) C (5 - 1) = 14 C 4 = 1,001 ways.
Answer:
x = ±2sqrt(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = 8
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(8)
x = ±sqrt(4*2)
We know that sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a)sqrt(b)
x = ±sqrt(4)sqrt(2)
x = ±2sqrt(2)
Make the fractions have common denominators.
rings 5 / 9 * 5/5 = 25/45
earrings 5/15 * 3/3 = 15/45
So, now we can compare 25 to 15. 25 is 5/3 bigger than 15.
or the ring inventory is 1.666666666... times greater than the earring inventory.
