Answer:

The snail will reach the top of the coconut in 18 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the snail will climb 2 meters in 1 hour but it will slip down one meter for every 2 meters climbed, then the distance traveled will be:

d = 2 m - 1 m = 1 m                                        

Since in 1 hour, it climbs 2 meters minus 1 meter, the time in which the snail will reach the top is:

t = \frac{1 h}{1 m}*18 m = 18 h      

Therefore, the snail will reach the top of the coconut in 18 hours.

I hope it helps you!

Jollibee employs a total of 10 cashiers and 15 kitchen crews. The manager selects a team of 2 cashiers and
Airida [17]

Answer:

The manager can select a team in 61425 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the cashiers and the kitchen crews are selected is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In how many ways can the manager select a team?

2 cashiers from a set of 10.

4 kitchen crews from a set of 15. So

T = C_{10,2}*C_{15,4} = \frac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}*\frac{15!}{4!(15-4)!} = 45*1365 = 61425

The manager can select a team in 61425 ways.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

C. 150

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people who took the test is unknown, so call it x.

34% of x liked the flavor.

51 people liked the flavor.

That means that 34% of x is equal to 51.

34% of x = 51

0.34x = 51

x = 51/0.34

x = 150

Answer: C. 150

How to find the edge length in volume?
vlada-n [284]
So we can take the volume of a cube formula and set it equal to the volume that we actually know: 64 centimeters cubed. So in order to find the length of the edge, which is a side, we need to cube root both sides of this equation. On the left-hand side, the cube root cancels all the cube.
