Answer:

3780.  

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we will start by just considering the number of ways to arrange 9 objects. We can do this in  9!  ways.

However since we have 3 reoccurring letters in Tennessee namely n,s and e we need to remove the times these form the same arrangement. Let me give an example to show what this means. Lets say we have the arrangement:

ennetssee

Now what happens if we exchange the places of the letters n for example? Of course we get the same arrangement of letters. We don’t want to count these as 2 different arrangements since for our interests they are the same. We therefore divide  9!  by the number of times this type of double counting occurs.

Since the word has the letter n occurring twice we will start by diving by  2! .

The letter s occurs 2 times as well so we will have to divide by  2!  again.

Finally the letter e occurs 4 times and so we will have to divide by  4!  here.

Now we get the following result:

9/(2 x 2 x 4)=3780.  

So in conclusion there are 3780 different ways to arrange the letters in Tennessee.

Help me with A and B please
g100num [7]

Part A.

Ashwin had a 4-cm cube.

volume of cube = side^3

volume = (4 cm)^3 = 64 cm^3

Ashwin has 64 small cubes.

We need to find the volumes of all prisms in Part A. Only prisms with at most 64 cm^3 volume can be the answer.

A. v = 2 * 4 * 7 = 28

B. v = 4 * 5 * 6 = 120

C. v = 5 * 5 * 4 = 100

D. v = 4 * 7 * 5 = 140

E. v = 3 * 5 * 4 = 60

Part A. answer: A, E

Part B.

Dora had a 5-cm cube.

volume of cube = side^3

volume = (5 cm)^3 = 125 cm^3

Dora has 125 small cubes.

We need to find the volumes of all prisms in Part B. Only prisms with at most 125 cm^3 volume can be the answer.

A. v = 3 * 3 * 8 = 72

B. v = 3 * 4 * 5 = 60

C. v = 6 * 6 * 4 = 144

D. v = 5 * 8 * 4 = 160

E. v = 3 * 5 * 4 = 60

Part B. answer: A, B, E
