There are $15$ gymnasts in the Olympic women's competition, including $4$ Americans. The gold medal goes to first place, silver

to second, and bronze to third. In how many ways can the medals be awarded to three of the $15$ gymnasts, if exactly one of the Americans wins a medal?

Answer:

There are 220 ways by which the medals can be awarded to three of the 15 gymnast, if exactly one of the Americans wins a medal

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have;

The number of gymnast in the Olympic women's competition = 15

The number of the gymnast who are Americans = 4

The number of medals awarded = 3 medals

The number of ways hat the medals can be awarded to the three of the gymnast if exactly one of the Americans wins a medal is given as follows;

The number of ways one of the medals can be won by one of the four Americans = ₄C₁ = 4 ways

The number of ways the other two medals can be won by the remaining 11 gymnast = ₁₁C₂ = 55 ways

Therefore, the total number of ways, 'N', the medals can be awarded to three of the 15 gymnast, if exactly one of the Americans wins a medal is given as follows;

N = ₄C₁ × ₁₁C₂

∴ N = 4 × 55 = 220

Tina ate 21 starbursts. If she ate 35% of the package of Starbursts, how many Starbursts are in the package?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

60 starbursts

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation to find the answer. 21/x=0.35/1 because we're trying to find how many starbursts make up 100% of the package. So then to solve, we take 21x1 and then divide that by 0.35. From this we find that x=60.

You purchased concentrated cleaner that must be diluted (watered down)
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The volume of the concentrated 80 gallons mixture is 20 gallons

The volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture is 60 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The content of Container A = The cleaner

The concentration of the cleaner = 20% solution

The content of Container B = Pure water

The concentration of the desired solution = 5%

The volume of the required solution = 80 gallons

Let x represent the volume of the concentrated solution and y represent the volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture

Therefore, we have;

20/100 × x + y×0 = 5/100×80

x + y = 80

y = 80 - x

20/100 × x + (80 - x)×0 = 5/100×80

0.2·x = 4

x = 4/0.2 = 20

x = 20 gallons

y = 80 - x = 80 - 20 = 60

y = 60 gallons

The volume of the concentrated solution (80 gallons mixture) = x = 20 gallons

The volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture = y = 60 gallons.

Which angle is the smallest?
svetoff [14.1K]
Angle A is the smallest.
It's truly simple; The triangle's smallest side is 10 units (used for unknown units of measurements). Angles A and E are both acute angles, however, angle E is larger due to side AD being larger than side ED. So, the angle has to widen in order to reach the full length.
