An athletics squad trains on a long straight track with dots marked at 10m intervals. The coach sets out cones on some of the do
1 answer:
Answer:
There are 6 ways to run 10 m between two cones of the four cones giving a maximum available distance to run as 60 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters given are
Distance between two cones = 10 m
Number of cones = 4
Therefore, number of ways to choose two 10 m distances (distance between two cones) from the four cones = = 6
Hence there are only six 10 m distances to run between two cones which gives a maximum distance available to run as 60 m.

Knowing how many likes all three will help. You know that 10 students like all three.
Rock and Jazz only:
16 like rock and jazz while 10 like all three. To get how many like jazz only, subtract 10 from 16.
16-10 = 6
Rock and Classical only:
13 like rock and classical while 10 like all three. To get how many like jazz only, subtract 10 from 13.
13-10 = 3
Jazz and classical only:
12 like jazz and classical while 10 like all three. To get how many like jazz only, subtract 10 from 12.
12-10 = 2
Now with that data you fill up the 4 intersecting areas. To get the outer, just remember that all areas within a circle should add up to the first assumption.
27 rock
24 classical
28 Jazz
All numbers in the rock circle should add up to 27.
All numbers in the classical circle should add up to 24.
All numbers in the Jazz circle should add up to 28.
Rock:
3+10+6+x = 27
19+x=27
x = 27-19
x= 8
Classical:
3+10+2+x = 24
15 + x = 24
x = 24-15
x = 9
Jazz:
10+6+2+x = 28
18 + x = 28
x = 28 - 18
x = 10
In summary: 8 liked only Rock, 9 liked only Classical, 10 liked only Jazz.
