7 1/2 is already simplified to its lowest terms
Answer:
-24
Step-by-step explanation:
You are just counting by two's.
Note: Since the symbols for greatest integer function (GIF) and least integer function (LIF) are not given, I will be using the words GIF and LIF in the solution
GIF x means largest integer less than or equal to x, and LIF x means least integer greater than or equal to x.
We need to determine which expressions are equal
Option 1: GIF 4.9 and LIF 3.1
GIF 4.9 = 3
LIF 3.1 = 4
Hence GIF 4.9 ≠ LIF 3.1
Option 2: GIF 15.2 and GIF 14.8
GIF 15.2 = 15
GIF 14.8 = 14
Hence, GIF 15.2 ≠ GIF 14.8
Option 3: GIF -6 and LIF -6
GIF -6 = -6
LIF -6 = -6
Hence, GIF -6 = LIF -6
Option 4: LIF -3.2 and LIF -2.6
LIF -3.2 = -2
LIF -2.6 = -1
Hence, LIF -3.2 ≠ LIF -2.6
Hence, only in Option C the pair of expressions are equal.
Answer:
d. 126; 70
Step-by-step explanation:
given that Ron finds 9 books at a bookstore that he would like to buy, but he can afford only 5 of them.
Out of 9 books he has to select 5 of them
Here selection of books can be done in any order. Hence order does not matter
No of ways he selects 5 books out of 9 books = 9C5
= 126
Part II
One book is a must
Hence he has options only 4 books from the remaining 8.
No of ways when one book is compulsory = selecting 3 books from 8 books
= 8C4
= 70
Option d is right.
