Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use w to symbolize the weight of kittens. Given by the statement "each kitten weighs less than 3.5 ounces" we know that
1*w < 3.5
We can multiply both sides of the inequality by 7 to determine the total weights
7*(1*w) < 7*(3.5)
7*w < 24.5
Since there are 7 kittens, the combined weight of the kittens is 7w, therefore the above expression could be read as "The combined weight of the kittens is less than 24.5 ounces"
When you subtract them you get the answer 57.99
Answer:
- digits used once: 12
- repeated digits: 128
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for a number to be divisible by 4, its last two digits must be divisible by 4. This will be the case if either of these conditions holds:
- the ones digit is an even multiple of 2, and the tens digit is even
- the ones digit is an odd multiple of 2, and the tens digit is odd.
We must count the ways these conditions can be met with the given digits.
__
Since we only have even numbers to work with, the ones digit must be an even multiple of 2: 4 or 8. (The tens digit cannot be odd.) The digits 4 and 8 comprise half of the available digits, so half of all possible numbers made from these digits will be divisible by 4.
<h3>digits used once</h3>
If the numbers must use each digit exactly once, there will be 4! = 24 of them. 24/2 = 12 of these 4-digit numbers will be divisible by 4.
<h3>repeated digits</h3>
Each of the four digits can have any of four values, so there will be 4^4 = 256 possible 4-digit numbers. Of these, 256/2 = 128 will be divisible by 4.
