Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're dealing with a problem where the order matters and the first two letters are already chosen we need to subtract the number of letters and the number of available slots per group.

We use the permutation formula to find the answer, but before that let's check values.

n = 8

k = 5

Now since there are two letters already chosen we have to deduct two from both the value of n and k.

n = 6

k = 3

Now we can use the permutation formula:

_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{n!}{(n-k)!}

_{6}P_{3}=\dfrac{6!}{6-3)!}

_{6}P_{3}=\dfrac{6!}{3!}

_{6}P_{3}=\dfrac{6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1}

The 3*2*1 cancels out and leaves us with:

_{6}P_{3}=6*5*4

_{6}P_{3}=120

So there are 120 possible ways to arrange eight letters into groups of five where order matters and the first two letters are already chosen.

This problem is based on permutations because here order matters.

This problem can be found by the following solution.

When you are given 8 letters and two letters are already chosen, then 6 letters are left and you want to know in how many ways 6 letters can fill 3 spaces when order matters. So, the answer is 6P3 ways.

\frac{6!}{(6-3)!}

= \frac{6 *5 *4 *3 *2 *1}{3 *2 *1}

= 6*5*4 = 120

Hence, there are total 120 combinations.

Katen [24]

Answer: You have the following information given in the problem above:

- Lou filled the tank with gas that cost ​$3.80 per gallon.

-   Lou​'s car had 5.9 gallons in the 13​-gallon tank.

2. Therefore, if he filled the tank, you can calculate the total amount of money Lou spent, by subtracting 13 gallons and 5.9 gallons and multiplying the result by ​$3.80.

3. Then, the result is:

$26.98

one pound of swordfish costs as much as 1.5 pounds of salmon. Mrs. O pays $39 for 2 pounds of salmon and 3 pounds of swordfish.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Not sure which ratio you need, but 6/9 = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5xsalmon=swordfish

$39 = 2lb salmon and 3lb swordfish

1lb salmon=$6           6+6 = 12

1lb swordfish=$9       9+9+9 = 27

12+27 = 39

Consider the function g:
Alja [10]
Another way to ask this question: where the x-value of function g equals 12, what's the y-value?

remember that function notation is like so: f(x), g(x), h(x)... so the number in the parentheses is an x-value from the function.

look through your points and find the one that represents an x-value of 12. (12, 19) is the point, and 19 is your output--so, g(12) = 19.
