If the company used rectangular prisms it would take 40 boxes (2400/60) to hold 2,400 pencils which would cost $20 (40 times 0.50). If they used cylindrical containers, they would need 30 containers (2400/80) for a total of $22.50 (30*0.75).

To minimize the cost the company should go with rectangular prisms as they are the most cost effective.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

John Roberts must serve a minimum of 12, 543 days to surpass John Mrshall's record of justice.

Step-by-step explanation:

John Marshall = 2079 + 10, 463 = 12, 542 days

Now, we have to add 1 more day to pass John Marshall because if we do not, we would only be on the same level as John Marshall and NOT EXCEEDING him.

Find (a) the number of subsets and (b) the number of proper subsets of the set.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(a) Total No. of Subsets = 128

(b) Total No. of Proper Subsets = 127

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to define the set of days of the week.

Set of Days of Week = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday}

It is evident from the set of days of the week, that it contains 7 elements.

(a)

The total no. of subsets of a given set is given by the following formula:

Total No. of Subsets = 2^n

where,

n = no. of elements of the set = 7

Therefore,

Total No. of Subsets = 2^n

Total No. of Subsets = 2^7

<u>Total No. of Subsets = 128</u>

(b)

The total no. of proper subsets of a given set is given by the following formula:

Total No. of Proper Subsets = (2^n) - 1

where,

n = no. of elements of the set = 7

Therefore,

Total No. of Proper Subsets = (2^n) - 1

Total No. of Proper Subsets = (2^7) - 1 = 128 - 1

<u>Total No. of Proper Subsets = 127 </u>
