P(5,3) .... or 5P3 if your textbook likes it that way ... = (5)(4)(3) = 60 ways.  

If you don't know about the permutation counting function, P(n,k) is the number of ways to pick k out of n different items, where order matters.  

P(n,k) = n(n-1)(n-2)...(n+1-k)  

It's easier to write with factorials, with P(n,k) = n!/k!, but the above is easier to compute most of the time.  

Without that, you can still solve with common sense. There are 5 ways to pick the president. For each of those, there are 4 choices left for vice president, and for each of those there are 3 choices left for secretary. 5*4*3 =

60 total

Answer: 60 ways.
Explanation: Suppose that we had 5 people, A, B, C, D, and E, and we had to select a P, VP, and S.

For the President, we have 5 different selections.
If we choose a president, then we can only pick 1 from 4 people for the VP.
Using the same logic, we'd have 3 different choices for the S.

Hence, we have 5 · 4 · 3 different ways.

Alternatively, this is:

\frac{5!}{(5 - 3)!} = ^{5}P_3 different ways.

What is the quotient of 2 1/4 and 5/8
Charra [1.4K]
If you would like to find the quotient of 2 1/4 and 5/8, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2 1/4 = 9/4

2 1/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 * 8/5 = 18/5 = 3 3/5

The correct result would be 3 3/5.

Please show how 1200.00 is an estimate of 31×43?
Vika [28.1K]
Ok so you round 31 to 30 and 43 to 40 and then you multiply 30 by 40 and get 1200. 1200 is the same thing as 1200.00 bc you can take off the zeros after the decimal and it will be the same. Hope this helped and if your still confused you let me know I'll try to explain it more.

Ok whoever answers this correct will get 100 brainly points
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

We are given an area and three different widths and we need to determine the corresponding length and perimeter.  

The first width that is provided is 4 yards and to get an area of 100 we need to multiply it by 25 yards.  This would mean that our length is 25 yards and our perimeter would be 2(l + w) which is 2(25 + 4) = 58 yards.

The second width that is given is 5 yards and in order to get an area of 100 yards we need to multiply by 20 yards.  This would mean that our length is 20 yards and our perimeter would be 2(l + w) which is 2(20 + 5) = 50 yards.

The final width that is given is 10 yards and in order to get an area of 100 yards we need to multiply by 10.  This would mean that our length is 10 yards and our perimeter would be 2(l + w) which is 2(10 + 10) = 40 yards.

Therefore the field that would require the least amount of fencing (the smallest perimeter) is option C, field #3.

<u><em>Hope this helps!</em></u>

Suppose you know the area of the yard is 7,500 square feet. How can you find the value of a?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

a = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

From the introduction, you know that the area is 3a^2

You also know that it is 7500 square feet. \

So the two must be equal

3a^2 = 7500                    Divide by 3

a^2 = 7500/3

a^2 = 2500

The square root of 2500 is 50

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(2500)

a = 50
