There are
ways of picking 2 of the 10 available positions for a 0. 8 positions remain.
There are
ways of picking 3 of the 8 available positions for a 1. 5 positions remain, but we're filling all of them with 2s, and there's
way of doing that.
So we have

The last expression has a more compact form in terms of the so-called multinomial coefficient,

1/4=2/8
7/8-2/8=5/8
so 5/8 foot of the board is left
Zach have to send 300 number of multimedia texts for the same cost in two packages.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Package A charges $0.25 per multimedia text with no monthly fees.
Package B charges $0.20 per multimedia text and has a $15 monthly fee.
<u>To frame the equations :</u>
- Let x be the any amount of multimedia texts are sent.
- Let y be the total cost for using the multimedia package.
<u>Package A Equation :</u>
Total cost = No.of text sent × cost per text.
⇒ y = x × 0.25
⇒ y = 0.25x
∴ The equation of package A is y = 0.25x
<u>Package B Equation :</u>
Total cost = (No.of text sent × cost per text) + Monthly fee
⇒ y = (x × 0.20) + 15
⇒ y = 0.2x + 15
∴ The equation of a package B is y = 0.2x + 15
Now, the question is about how many multimedia texts will Zach have to send each month for the two multimedia texting packages to be the same cost.
⇒ equation of package A = equation of package B
⇒ 0.25x = 0.2x + 15
⇒ 0.25x - 0.2x = 15
⇒ 0.05x = 15
⇒ x = 15 / 0.05
⇒ x = 300
∴ Zach have to send 300 number of multimedia texts for the same cost in two packages.
Divide the number that islf can divide by like 2 or 3 or 4 for exaples
