Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let first group of people take x candies each
and second group of people take y candies each
5x + 7y will be total candies
5x +7y = 239 (needed to find positive solution of x,y)
now take x=38, y =7
or x=31, y= 12
hence lots of possibilities ,so we can not say exactly
There are 8008 groups in total, in other to drive the children
<h3>How to determine the number of groups?</h3>
From the question, we have
- Total number of children, n = 16
- Numbers to children at once, r = 6
The number of group of children that could be carried at once is calculated using the following combination formula
Total = ⁿCᵣ
Where
n = 16 and r = 6
Substitute the known values in the above equation
Total = ¹⁶C₆
Apply the combination formula
ⁿCᵣ = n!/(n - r)!r!
So, we have
Total = 16!/10!6!
Evaluate
Total = 8008
Hence, the number of groups is 8008

Answer:
27/100
Step-by-step explanation:
27%= 0.27= 27/100 which cannot be reduced
Sum means addition
negative 18 means -18
a number can be x
Sum of negative 18 and x should be 11
thus the equation is
-7, |-2|, 3, 4.5 I did this earlier
