The numbers 1,6,8,13,15,20 can be placed in the circle below, each exactly once, so that the sum of each pair of numbers adjacen

t in the circle is a multiple of seven
in fact, there is more than one way to arrange the numbers in such a way in the circle. Determine all different arrangments. Note that we will consider two arrangments to be the same if one can be obtained from the other by a series of reflections and rotations

Answer:

\fbox{\begin{minipage}{4em}36 ways\end{minipage}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Re-state the problem in an easier way to set up a permutation problem</em>

"The numbers 1,6,8,13,15,20 can be placed in the circle below, each exactly once, so that the sum of each pair of numbers adjacent in the circle is a multiple of seven"

The series above can be represented again, in form of:

7a + 1, 7b - 1, 7c + 1, 7d - 1, 7e + 1, 7f - 1

with a, b, c, d, e, f are non-negative integers.

=> 3 numbers are multiply of 7 plus 1

=> 3 numbers are multiple of 7 minus 1

<em>Step 2: Perform the counting:</em>

For the 1st number, there are 6 ways to select

To satisfy that each pair of numbers creates a multiple of 7, then:

For the 2nd number, there are 3 ways left to select

For the 3rd number, there are 2 ways left to select

For the 4rd number, there are 2 ways left to select

For the 5th number, there are 1 way left to select

For the 6th number, there are 1 way left to select

=> In total, the number of possible ways to select:

N = 6 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 1 x 1 = 72

However, these numbers are located around a circle, each option is counted twice.

=> The final number of possible ways:

N = 72/2 = 36

Hope this helps!

Which fraction is equivalent to 6/8. A.8/9. B.4/6. C.9/12. D.8/10
DaniilM [7]

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

<h2>C. 9/12</h2>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>6</em><em>/</em><em>8</em><em> </em><em>simplifies </em><em>to </em><em>3</em><em>/</em><em>4</em>

<em>3</em><em> </em><em>×</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>9</em>

<em>4</em><em> </em><em>×</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em>

<em>Since </em><em>they </em><em>are </em><em>both </em><em>multiples </em><em>of </em><em>3</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>it's </em><em>e</em><em>quivalent</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>6</em><em>/</em><em>8</em><em>.</em>

Fine the slope of the line through each pair of points . (-8,-20),(5,2)
kozerog [31]

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-8, -20) and (5, 2). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{2-(-20)}{5-(-8)}=\dfrac{22}{13}

Answer: The slope is \dfrac{22}{13}
