Answer:

E. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

C_1 = color 1

C_2 = color 2

C_3 = color 3

Case I

C₂      C₃       C₂

C₃      C₁        C₃

C₁       C₂       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case II

C₂      C₃       C₁

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₂       C₃       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case III

C₁      C₃       C₂

C₂      C₁        C₃

C₃       C₂       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case IV

C₂     C₃         C₁

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₁       C₂       C₃

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case V

C₁      C₂         C₁

C₃      C₁        C₃

C₂      C₃       C₂

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case VI

C₁      C₂         C₃

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₁       C₂       C₃

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Therefore, the total combinations = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6

= 36

How to solve (2.31*10^-6)+(5.87*10^-4)
S_A_V [24]

We want to calculate the following

2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}

Using the properties of exponents, we have that

10^{-6}=10^{-4}\cdot10^{-2}

So we have

2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}=2.31\cdot10^{-2}\cdot10^{-4}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}

So, if factor 10^-4 on the right side, we have

10^{-4}(2.31\cdot10^{-2}+5.87)

Note that

2.31\cdot10^{-2}=0.0231

Then,

5.87+2.31\cdot10^{-2}=5.87+0.0231=5.8931^{}

So we have that

2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}=5.8931\cdot10^{-4}
