Answer: The required number of ways is 14.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Darlene is adopting a pet and she can choose from 8 kittens and 6 puppies.

We are to find the number of ways in which she can choose a pet to adopt.

We have

the total number of pets that are available to choose from is given by

$n=8+6\\\\\Rightarrow n=14.$

Since Darlene is going to adopt only one pet, so we have

$r=1.$

Therefore, the number of ways in which she can choose a pet to adopt is given by

$^nC_r\\\\=^{14}C_1\\\\\\=\dfrac{14!}{1!(14-1)!}\\\\\\=\dfrac{14!}{1!13!}\\\\\\=\dfrac{14\times13!}{1\times13!}\\\\=14.$

Thus, the required number of ways is 14.

1)Sheyna drive to the lake and back. It took two hours less time to get there than it did to get back. The average speed on the

ipn [44]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sheyna drives to the lake with average speed of 60 mph and

$v_1 = 60\ mph$

Sheyna drives back from the lake with average speed of 36 mph

$v_2 = 36\ mph$

It took 2 hours less time to get there than it did to get back.

Let $t_1$ be the time taken to drive to lake.

Let $t_2$ be the time taken to drive back from lake.

$t_2-t_1 = 2$ hrs ..... (1)

To find:

Total time taken = ?

$t_1+t_2 = ?$

Solution:

Let D be the distance to lake.

Formula for time is given as:

$Time =\dfrac{Distance}{Speed }$

$t_1 = \dfrac{D}{60}\ hrs$

$t_2 = \dfrac{D}{36}\ hrs$

Putting in equation (1):

$\dfrac{D}{36}-\dfrac{D}{60} = 2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5D-3D}{180} = 2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2D}{180} = 2\\\Rightarrow D = 180\ miles$

So,

$t_1 = \dfrac{180}{60}\ hrs = 3 \ hrs$

$t_2 = \dfrac{180}{36}\ hrs = 5\ hrs$

So, the answer is:

$t_1+t_2 = \bold{8\ hrs}$

Find the surface area of the right triangular prism (above) using its net (below).

lakkis [162]

Answer:

144 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The net of the right triangular prism consists of 3 rectangles and 2 equal triangles

Let's solve for the area of each:

✔️Area of rectangle 1 = L*W

L = 11

W = 3

Area of rectangle 1 = 11*3 = 33 units²

✔️Area of rectangle 2 = L*W

L = 11

W = 4

Area of rectangle 2 = 11*4 = 44 units²

✔️Area of rectangle 3 = L*W

L = 11

W = 5

Area of rectangle 3 = 11*5 = 55 units²

✔️Area of the two triangles = 2(½*base*height)

base = 4

height = 3

Area of the two traingles = 2(½*4*3)

= 12 units²

✔️Surface area of the right triangle = area of rectangle 1 + area of rectangle 2 + area of rectangle 3 + area of the two triangles

= 33 + 44 + 55 + 12

= 144 units²
