Answer:
86,400
Step-by-step explanation:
So a box of 20 chocolates is divided between a group of people based on age
So the ratio for Sibusiso, Dorris, and Freddy is 2:3:5
Add these together, and you get 10
So to find how much each person gets, divide total amount of chocolates by total age
So (20÷10) = 2
So multiply each age term by 2 and you have your answer
(4:6:10)
So Sibusiso gets 4, Dorris gets 6 and Freddy gets 10
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
6 x 10 = 60
60 - 5 = 55
5 x 10 = 50
50 - 9 = 41
55 - 41 = 14
The probability of getting the correct order in the spelling bee is 1 chance in 362,880.
This is a permutation problem. Our goals is to find the total number of ways that the 9 students can be ordered.
For the first spot there are 9 choices, then 8 choices, then 7 choices....
We need to evaluate:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362,880
Another way to write this is: 9!
