Answer:

The real plane is 48 ft long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the model airplane was built at a scale of 1 inch to 6 feet, this means that for every 1 inch on the model there is 6 feet on the real plane. We know that the model is 8 inches longs, therefore we need to multiply it's length by 6 and we will have the correct answer. We have:

real length(ft) = [model lengh (in)]*6

real length(ft) = 8*6 = 48 ft

The real plane is 48 ft long.

How many permutations of the 26 letters of the English alphabet do not contain any of the strings fish, rat, or bird

NARA [144]

The number of permutations of the 26 letters of the English alphabet that do not contain any of the strings fish, rat, or bird is 402619359782336797900800000

Let

$\mathcal{E}=\{\text{All lowercase letters of the English Alphabet}\}\\\\B=\overline{\{b,i,r,d\}} \cup \{bird\}\\\\F=\overline{\{f,i,s,h\}} \cup \{fish\}\\\\R=\overline{\{r,a,t\}} \cup \{rat\}\\\\FR=\overline{\{f,i,s,h,r,a,t\}} \cup \{fish,rat\}$

Then

$Perm(\mathcal{E})=\{\text{All orderings of all the elements of } \mathcal{E}\}\\\\Perm(B)=\{\text{All orderings of all the elements of } \mathcal{E} \text{ containing bird}\}\\\\Perm(F)=\{\text{All orderings of all the elements of } \mathcal{E} \text{ containing fish}\}\\\\Perm(R)=\{\text{All orderings of all the elements of } \mathcal{E} \text{ containing rat}\}\\\\Perm(FR)=\{\text{All orderings of all the elements of } \mathcal{E} \text{ containing both fish and rat}\}\\$

Note that since

$F \cap R=\varnothing$ , $Perm(F)\cap Perm(R)\ne \varnothing$

But since

$B \cap R \ne \varnothing$ , $Perm(B)\cap Perm(R)= \varnothing$

and

$B \cap F \ne \varnothing$ , $Perm(B)\cap Perm(F)= \varnothing$

Since

$|\mathcal{E} |=26 \text{, then, } |Perm(\mathcal{E})|=26! \\\\|B|=26-4+1=23 \text{, then, } |Perm(B)|=23!\\\\|F|=26-4+1=23 \text{, then, } |Perm(F)|=23!\\\\|R|=26-3+1=24 \text{, then, } |Perm(R)|=24!\\\\|FR|=26-7+2=21 \text{, then, } |Perm(FR)|=21!\\$
