The ways 1st - 3rd place are ordered matter, so we aren't finding the combination. We;re finding the permutation. This means we have 8 contestants taken 3 ways. The number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time is nPr = n! / (n - r)! N is 8 and 3 is R. Substitute the values.

8P3 = 8! / (8 - 3)! → 8! / 5! → 336

(You can also input this in a scientific calculator by pressing "8", then "nPr" then "3")

I need help finding the missing angle with work plz <br> ANSWER ASAP!!!!!!
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The unknown angle is 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

Let the unknown angle be x

20+80+x = 180

Add like terms

100+x = 180

Subtract 100 from each side

100-100+x=180-100

x = 80

Can u please answer the question
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:  6 pieces

=======================================================

Explanation:

3/4 = 6/8 after multiplying both parts by 2

We have a ribbon that is 6/8 of an inch long. We want to cut it into 1/8 inch pieces. We can see there will be exactly 6 pieces

Note how 6*(1/8) = 6/8

Or we can think of it as "we have a ribbon that is 6 units long and we want to cut it into pieces that are 1 unit each, so we'll have 6 pieces total". Replace "unit" with "1/8 inch" and you'll have the same idea.
