Trevor paints 1/6 of the fence surrounding his farm each day. How many days will it take him to paint 3/4 of the fence?

1 answer:

8 0

To do this you have to divide 3/4 by 1/6. To do this multiply 3/4 by the reciprocal of 1/6. The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1. So you have to multiply 3/4 and 6/1. This will give you 18/4. You now simplify it to 4 2/4, which can be simplified even more to 4 1/2. It will take Trevor 4 1/2 days to paint 3/4 of the fence.
BTW- In case you are wondering how long it'll would take him to paint the entire fence, it would be 6 days.

The number of ways 4 digit numbers can be forms using the digits 0 to 9 with no number repeated is given by

$^{10}P_4= \frac{10!}{(10-4)!} = \frac{10!}{6!} =10\times9\times8\times7=5,040$

The probability that one of the numbers is 9876 is given by $\frac{1}{5,040}$
