How many 6-digit numbers can be created using8, 0, 1, 3, 7, and 5 if each number is used only once?

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

600 numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

For six-digit numbers, we need to use all digits 8,0,1,3,7,5 each once.

However, 0 cannot be used as the first digit, because it would make a 5-digit number.

Therefore

there are 5 choices for the first digit (exclude 0)

there are 5 choices for the first digit (include 0)

there are 4 choices for the first digit

there are 3 choices for the first digit

there are 2 choices for the first digit

there are 1 choices for the first digit

for a total of 5*5*4*3*2*1 = 600 numbers

Which expression is equivalent to the following complex fraction? <br><br>(pls help me out)

const2013 [10]

Answer:

B. $\frac{-4x + 7}{2(x - 2)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the given expression to determine its equivalent expression in the given options.

$\frac{\frac{3}{x - 1} - 4}{2 - \frac{2}{x - 1}}$

$\frac{\frac{3}{x - 1} - \frac{4}{1}}{\frac{2}{1} - \frac{2}{x - 1}}$

$\frac{\frac{3 - 4(x - 1)}{x - 1}}{\frac{2(x - 1) - 2}{x - 1}}$

$\frac{\frac{3 - 4x + 4}{x - 1}}{\frac{2x - 2 - 2}{x - 1}}$

$\frac{\frac{-4x + 7}{x - 1}}{\frac{2x - 4}{x - 1}}$

$\frac{-4x + 7}{x - 1} * \frac{x - 1}{2x - 4}$

(x - 1) cancels (x - 1)

$\frac{-4x + 7}{1} * \frac{1}{2x - 4}$

$\frac{(-4x + 7)1}{1(2x - 4)}$

$\frac{-4x + 7}{2x - 4}$

$\frac{-4x + 7}{2(x - 2)}$

Simplify, assume the variable represents a positive real number

kotykmax [81]

The simplification of the given expression $\sqrt{18y^{21}$ will be equal to $3\sqrt{2} (y)^{\dfrac{21}{2}}$

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

The process of reducing the complex mathematical expressions into the simplest form is called as the simplification.

The simplification of the given expression will be:

$=\sqrt{18y^{21}}\\\\\\=(18)^{\frac{1}{2} } \times (y)^{\frac{21}{2}}\\\\\\=3\sqrt{2}\times y^{\frac{21}{2}}$

hence the simplification of the given expression $\sqrt{18y^{21}$ will be equal to $3\sqrt{2} (y)^{\dfrac{21}{2}}$

Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes in 15 minutes. While Byron fills the drying rack, Emmitt takes dishes out of the drying

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Hi!

The correct answer is d) 1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals x over 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes: 15 minutes.

We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes while Emmitt is taking dishes out of the drying rack: 35 minutes.

We don't know the amount of time that Emmitt can take dishes out of the drying rack: x minutes.

So, if Byron is filling the drying rack in 15 minutes and Emmitt is taking out the dishes at x minutes, it takes 35 minutes to fill the drying rack.

$\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{35}$ <em>// multiply by 105x both sides.</em>

$105x\frac{1}{15}-105x\frac{1}{x} =105x \frac{1}{35}$ <em>// simplifly</em>

$7x - 105 = 3x$ <em> //substract 3x and add 105 in both sides</em>

$7x - 3x - 105 + 105 = 3x - 3x + 105$ <em>// solve</em>

$4x = 105$ <em>//</em> <em>divide by 4 in both sides</em>

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{105}{4}$ <em>// solve</em>

$x = 26.25$

It makes sense that Byron fills the rack faster than Emmitt empties the rack.
