Answer:

  • pitcher: $48 million
  • shortstop: $8 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of salaries can be written as ...

   short : pitcher = 1 : 6

Then the fraction of the total that the shortstop received is ...

  short : total = 1 : (1+6) = 1 : 7

The shortstop's salary was (1/7)×($56 million) = $8 million.

The pitcher's salary was 6 times that, so 6×($8 million) = $48 million.

The pitcher's salary was $48 million; the shortstop's, $8 million.

Answer:

  (a) 9 buildings

  (b) 2^n -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of distinct non-empty subsets of b objects is 2^b -1. Since the subsets are distinct, each could represent a list of the buildings, from the set of b buildings, in which a student is taking courses.

(a) For 8 buildings, 2^8 -1 = 255 students could enroll. for 9 buildings, 2^9-1 = 511 students could enroll.

For 500 students, 9 buildings are required.

__

(b) The maximum number of students for n buildings is ...
