Answer:

1120 possible ways

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer we need to be sure what equation we need to use.

From the given example, let's consider initially only men. Because you have a total of 8 men and we need to chose only 3 men, let's suppose that the 3 chosen men are A, B, and C.

Because A,B,C is the same as choosing C,B,A, which means it doesn't matter the order of the chosen men, we need to use a 'combination equation'.

Because we have two groups (women and men) then we have:

Possible ways = 8C3 * 6C3 (which are the combinations for women and men respectively). Remember that:

nCk=n!/((n-k)!*k!) so:

Possible ways = 8!/((8-3)!*3!) * 6!/((6-3)!*3!) = 56* 20 = 1120.

In conclusion, there are 1120 possible ways.

A construction manager weighs a bundle of 9 identical bricks and a 7 pound concrete block. The bundle weighs 30 pounds.
denis23 [38]

Answer:

30 = 9x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight of the bundle = 30 pounds

The weight of the bricks = x pounds

But he carried 9 bricks = 9x pounds

He also carried additional 7 pounds of concrete block.

An equation to show the total weight he carried is

30 pounds = (9x + 7) pounds

Since 9x represents the total weight of the bricks he carried

7 represents the weight of the concrete block

And 30 pounds represents the total weight of everything he carried.

(8.9× 10^4)(4× 10^8)<br> (SCIENTIFIC NOTATION)
Annette [7]
This is equal to:

(8.9*4)(10^4*10^8)

pertinent rule:  (a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)

(8.9*4)(10^12)

35.6X10^12

3.56X10^13  (and if we kept only significant figures....)

3.6X10^13
