Answer: 14,515,200
Note: this is a single number (not an ordered triple or a collection of three different numbers) roughly equal to about 14.5 million if you round to the nearest hundred thousand.
----------------------------------------------
Explanation:
There are 13 people. Let's call them person A, person B, person C, ... all the way up to person M. The first four people are given who we'll call A through D. The rest (E through M) aren't really important since they aren't named.
A = Monsier Thenardier
B = Madame Thenardier
C = Cosette
D = Marius
Peron's E through M = remaining 9 people
------------------
A and B must stick together. Because of this, we can consider "AB" as one "person".
So we go from 13 people to 13-2+1 = 12 "people".
Likewise, C and D must stick together. We can consider "CD" as one "person". So we go from 12 "people" to 12-2+1 = 11 "people"
------------------
The question is now: how many ways can we arrange these 11 "people" around a circular table? The answer is (n-1)! ways where n = 11 in this case
So, (n-1)! = (11-1)! = 10! = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 3,628,800
We're almost at the answer. We need to do two adjustments.
First off, for any single permutation, there are two ways to arrange "AB". The first is "AB" itself and the second is the reverse of that "BA". So we will multiply 3,628,800 by 2 to get 2*3,628,800 = 7,257,600
Using similar logic for "CD", we double 7,257,600 to get 2*7,257,600 = 14,515,200
The final answer is 14,515,200
Answer:
10 bracelets
Step-by-step explanation:
we need to convert 5 ft to inches
1 ft = 12 inches
multiply by 5
5 ft = 60 inches
60 inches of yarn, 6 inches per bracelet
60/6 = 10
10 bracelets
Answer:
204
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area of the inner square. 14 x 14 = 196
Then find the area of the outer square. 20 x 20 = 400
Subtract 400 - 196 = 204
204 is closest to 200
