Answer:

There were 70 choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the locations are chosen 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)!}

How many different choices were there for the four locations to apply the new ointment

Four locations from a set of 8. So

C_{8,4} = \frac{8!}{4!(8-4)!} = 70

There were 70 choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment

Koalas absorb only 25% of the fiber they eat. A koala absorbed 10.5 ounces of fiber in one day. How many ounces of fiber did he
sweet [91]

\huge{\boxed{\text{42 ounces}}}

25% is equal to \frac{1}{4}, so multiplying it by 4 gets 100%.  This means we can multiply 10.5 by 4 to get 100% of the fiber the koala ate that day.

10.5*4=\boxed{42}
