Answer:

30 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of boys in school (n1) = 5

Number of girls in school (n2) = 3

Total number of team members to be selected = 4

Number of boys required in team(r1) = 2

Number of girls required in team(r2) = 2

How many different teams made up of two girls and two boys could be chosen?

= (2 boys from 5) * (2 girls from 3)

Using combination :

5C2 * 3C2

Recall :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)! r!

5C2 = 5! ÷ (5-2)! 2!

5C2 = 5! ÷ 3!2!

5C2 = (5*4) / 2 * 1 = 10ways

3C2 = 3! ÷ (3-2)! 2!

3C2 = 3! ÷ 1!2!

3C2 = (3) /  1 = 3ways

3C2 = 3/1 = 3ways

10 * 3 = 30 ways

URGENT PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO CORRECT ANSWER ABC factory brought a pile of coal. If the factory burns 1500 kilogram
wolverine [178]

Solving a system of equations, we will see that there are 6000 kg of coal on the pile.

<h3>How many kilograms of coal are in the pile of coal?</h3>

Let's say that there are N kilograms of coal, and it is planned to burn it totally in D days, these are our variables.

We know that:

  • If the factory burns 1500 kilograms per day, it will finish burning the coal one day ahead of planned.
  • If it burns 1000 kilograms per day, it will take an additional day than planned.

Then we can write the system of equations:

(1500)*(D - 1) = N

(1000)*(D + 1) = N

Because N is already isolated in both sides, we can write this as:

(1500)*(D - 1) = N = (1000)*(D + 1)

Then we can solve for D:

(1500)*(D - 1) =  (1000)*(D + 1)

1500*D - 1500 = 1000*D + 1000

500*D = 2500

D = 2500/500 = 5

Now that we know the value of D, we can find N by replacing it in one of the two equations:

(1500)*(D - 1) = N

(1500)*(5 - 1) = N

(1500)*4= N = 6000

This means that there are 6000 kilograms of coal on the pile.
