J = 14
J = 1/2S + 4 1/2
14 = 1/2S + 9/2....multiply everything by 2 to get rid of fractions
28 = S + 9
28 - 9 = S
19 = S
check...
14 = 1/2S + 9/2......S = 19
14 = 1/2(19) + 9/2
14 = 9 1/2 + 9/2
14 = 19/2+ 9/2
14 = 28/2
14 = 14 (correct)
so the sister is 19 <===
I think it’s 236.8 correct me if I’m wrong?
Answer: 40,320
Step-by-step explanation: Let's say that there is person A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. and 8 chairs. For the first chair, 8 different people could potentially sit in it, making 8 different possibilities. No matter who sits there, the logic follows the next table. However, since one person is sitting in the first chair, there are 7 different possibilities about who would be sitting in the second chair. If you multiply the two together, there are 56 different possibilities just for the first and second chair. For the third chair, there are 6 different possibilities about whom could sit. Multiply 56*6 and you get 336 possibilities. Keep multiplying out and you get a grand total of 40,320 different arrangements!
We also need the first half of the question ... the part you didn't copy ... the part
that lists the different species of animals in the shelter and how many there are
of each.
I realize that several times, a problem will include information that's not needed in
order to solve it, but this is not one of those times. We need all of the information
that's there, with the possible exception of the name of the city where the shelter
is located.
