Answer:

3 have a license, 5 do not have a license

the first choice is 5 out of 8, or 5/8

the second choice is 4 out of 7, or 4/7

(5/8)*(4/7)=20/56=10/28=5/14

another way to look at it is...

how many ways can you choose 2 people out of 8 people ?

8!/2!(8-2)!=8!/2!*6!=8*7/2=56/2=28 ways

how many ways can you choose 2 people out of 5 people ?

5!/2!(5-2)!=5!/2!*3!=5*4/2=20/2=10

10/28=5/14 again

call the 5 people who don't have a license A,B,C,D, and E

how can they be paired together ?

AB,AC,AD,AE,BC,BD,BE,CD,CE, and DE for a total of 10

again 10/28=5/14

Kareem purchased a leather jacket for $800 with his new credit card. He budgeted $50 a month to pay toward the debt. When he rea
barxatty [35]

Answer:

1080

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, if he is paying 50 per month, we need to know the number of months it would take him to finish paying the money. Hence that would be 800/50 = 16 months

Now we know there is a surcharge of 17.5 for each month he owes a balance. The total balance he is to pay is thus 16 * 17.5 = 280

The total cost of the jacket is thus 800 + 280 = 1080

Plzzzzzz helppppp asappppp <br> ****will mark brainliest ****

ΔABC is a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle. The pattern of its sides is as follows:

Each leg = 1 unit (and both legs are that way, since the triangle is isosceles - so two sides are the same)

Hypotenuse = √2 units.

So if we know either leg, we multiply by √2 to get the hypotenuse. In reverse, we divide by √2 if we know the hypotenuse to get the measurement of a leg.

Our problem tells us that the hypotenuse AC is 10 units. We divide 10 by √2 to get the measurement of leg AB. Since it's a 45 -45 - 90 triangle, AB = BC.

AB = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}

= \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{2}} to rationalize the radical

= \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2} = 5\sqrt{2}

Thus, each leg is 5\sqrt{2} [/tex].
