Answer:

The number of ways is 26,400 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

total number of men, M = 10

total number of women, W = 12

number of committees to be formed = 6

If there must be equal gender, then it must consist of 3 men and 3 women.

The \ number \ of \ ways = 10C_3 \times 12C_3\\\\The \ number \ of \ ways =\frac{10!}{3!7!} \times \frac{12!}{3!9!} \\\\T he \ number \ of \ ways  = 120 \times 220 = 26,400 \ ways

Therefore, the number of ways is 26,400 ways

You drink a beverage with 120 mg of caffeine. Each hour, the caffeine in your system decreases by about 12%. How long until you
uysha [10]

Answer:

  19.44 hours, about 19 hours 26 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation that describes your caffeine level can be written as ...

  c(t) = 120·(1 -0.12)^t . . . . where t is in hours and c(t) is in mg

We want to find t for c(t) = 10, so ...

  10 = 120(0.88^t)

  10/120 = 0.88^t . . . . . . . divide by 120

  log(1/12) = t·log(0.88) . . . take logarithms

  t = log(1/12)/log(0.88) ≈ 19.4386

It will take about 19.44 hours, or 19 hours 26 minutes, for the caffeine level in your system to decrease to 10 mg.

(14+42-6)/10+7^2 order of operation
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{(14+42-6)}{10}+7^2

Parentheses (14 + 42 - 6) = 50:

⇒ 50/10 + 7²

Exponents 7² = 49:

⇒ 50/10 + 49

Multiplication/division  50/10 = 5:

⇒ 5 + 49

Addition/subtraction:  5 + 49 = 54

⇒ 54

To raise funds, a school sells raffle tickets to parents and students. The parent tickets cost $6 each and the student tickets c
masya89 [10]

Answer: 312 students purchased a ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of raffle tickets sold to parents.

Let y represent the number of raffle tickets sold to students.

The school sold 371 tickets. This means that

x + y = 371

x = 371 - y

The parent tickets cost $6 each and the student tickets cost $1.50 each and the school raised a total of $822. This means that

6x + 1.5y = 822 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 371 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6(371 - y) + 1.5y = 822

2226 - 6y + 1.5y = 822

- 6y + 1.5y = 822 - 2226

- 4.5y = - 1404

y = -1404/-4.5

y = 312

x = 371 - y

x = 371 - 312

x = 59

The volume of a rectangular prism is 80 cubic centimeters the prism is 20 centimeters long and 2 centimeters wide what is its he
seropon [69]

Answer:

the height of the rectangular prism is 2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the question says

volume of a rectangular prism equals 80cm³

the length of the rectangular prism is equals to 20cm

the width of the rectangular prism equals to 2cm

the height of the rectangular prism is unknown ?

solution

to find the height we will use the fomular of finding the volume of a prism

volume of a rectangular prism = length × width × height

80 =  20 × 2 × h

80 = 40h

divide both sides by 40

80/40 = 40h/40

2 = h

h = 2cm

therefore the height of the rectangular prism is 2cm
