The answer is straightforward, by the "rule of product":
There are
3×8×2=48
3×8×2=48
different combinations (distinct possible cars) that can be created.
There 33 choices for body style; 88 choices for exterior colors, and 22 choices of interior color schemes:
Since each of these choices are independent (the choice of body style doesn't depend on exterior or interior color, e.g.) we multiply the number of choices for each quality to obtain: 3×8×2=483×8×2=48 distinct ways to create a car
Four hundred two million seventy-three thousand one hundred eighty in standard form: 402,073,180 would be your answer
If we know that Pedro bought 1

pounds of red sand, and 5

pounds of brown sand, and they both cost $4.60, then we just have to add the individual amounts of sand, since they cost the same.

So Pedro bought

lbs of sand overall. Now, we just need to multiply the cost per pound by the total amount of sand he bought.

Pedro spent $31.05 on sand, which is answer choice B.
Hope that helped =)
Answer:
I believe the answer to this question is: 1 x 10^21 equal to 1000000000000000000000.
A(n) = current term
a(n + 1) = next term
in a geometric sequence, the next term comes from a product of the current term and the common ratio.
the common ratio can be any value, let's say use r = ½.
if the current term is say hmmm 40, the next term is 40*½ , or 20, so indeed, the next term is smaller.
