Pete starts with 4 quarts of 20% juice, which contains

0.20 • (4 quarts) = 0.8 quarts

of juice.

If he mixes this with <em>x</em> quarts of 60% juice, which contains

0.60 • (<em>x</em> quarts) = 0.6<em>x</em> quarts

of juice, then he would end up with a mixture with a volume of (<em>x</em> + 4) quarts that contains (0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em>) quarts of juice. The mix has to have a concentration of 50% juice, which means

(0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em>) / (<em>x</em> + 4) = 0.50

Solve for <em>x</em> :

0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em> = 0.50 (<em>x</em> + 4)

0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em> = 0.5<em>x</em> + 2

0.1<em>x</em> = 1.2

<em>x</em> = 12

So Pete needs 12 quarts of the 60% juice.

Write the number of permutations in factorial form. Then simplify. J K L M N O P
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The number of permutations of the group of letters given (J, K, L, M, N, O and P) is 7! = 7 . 6 . 5 . 4 . 3 . 2 . 1 = 5,040.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of permutations without repetition is the number of possible sequences that can occur if we take the letters one by one and is calculated with the factorial of the total number of letters in the group.

Before starting we have 7 possibilities, one for each letter. Once the first letter is chosen randomly, we will have 6 possibilities, after taking the third letter we will have 5 possibilities, and so on.

In total the total number of possibilities to obtain the 7 letters in a certain order are 7 by 6 by 5 by 4 by 3 by 2 by 1, sayed in other words factorial of 7 (7!). The result of the multiplication gives 5,040.

In short we can get the seven letters in 5,040 different sequences.
