Answer:

1884

Step-by-step explanation:

1)If you hear the condition "less than four letters" it means that each word can consist of 3,2 or 1 letter. Firstly, consider the easiest situation with the word from one letter. There are 12 letters, so there are 12 words from one letter.

Then the words from two letters. The first letter of such a word can be chosen in 12 means(because 12 letters are available), then the second letter can be chosen in 12 means too. 12*12=144 words with 2 letters. (Multiplying, not adding, because each two words form one combination).

Then for the words from three letters, use the same rule, 12 means for the first letter, 12 means for the second letter, 12 means for the third letter. 12*12*12=1728 words.

Having particular words from 1,2,3 letters add them to get total quantity of words: 12+144+1728=1884words,that is the answer.

When we say "split the cost evenly", what are you actually doing?
xz_007 [3.2K]
You basically just split it right down the middle. if the cost of something is lets say $75.58, then you would divide 75.58 by 2, which is $37.79

Wayne has 303 marbles if he gives away 123 of the marbles equally to 3 friends about how many marbles will wayne give each frien
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Each friend receives 41 marbles, Wayne has 180 marbles left.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Wayne starts with 303 marbles total.  If he decides to give 123 of his marbles away to his friends, we can subtract this amount from his total to get how many he has left:

303 - 123 = 180 marbles left

We also want to know how many marbles each of his three friends receives.  Since he wants to split them equally, we need to divide the number he is giving away by 3:

123 ÷ 3 = 41 marbles a piece to each friend
