(a)  there are 8C2  = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are  21C4  =  5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b  = 28 * 5985 =  167,580 

(b) at least 2 girls means  combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or 
6 girls.

2g/4b  = 167,580 ways
3g/3b =  8C3 * 21C3 =  56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b =  8C4* 21C2  =   70 * 210 = 14,700 
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 =  56*21 = 1176
6 girls  = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is  257,964

What is the weight per cm? ​
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  2/5 g/cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When you want to know "A per B", divide the given quantity of A by the corresponding quantity of B. ("Per" essentially means "divided by".)

It can be convenient to choose table values that make the division easy:

  12 g/(30 cm) = 4/10 g/cm = 0.4 g/cm

  20 g/(50 cm) = 2/5 g/cm . . . . . . . . . . . . . same as 0.4 g/cm

Consider the following number line
Sati [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

<h2><u>-2.25</u></h2><h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

Lets start with D:

It says, 0.43 but we're on the OPPOSITE of 0, so it can't be a positive number.

Same goes for C.

Now we are on to our last two.

B, is -2.5 and A, is -0.8

So, now we look at the point <em>B </em>and <em>assume</em>, because it says Select a reasonable value for Point B.

To me, point <em>B </em>looks to be about around -2.0

So, the <em>reasonable value </em>for this problem would be -2.25
