Answer:

<u>792 ways</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using the combination formular

nCr= \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} where n represents the total number of objects/items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

Hence, in this case, n =  12, r = 5, which is = nCr= \frac{12!}{5!(12-5)!} = 792.

Therefore, there are 792 ways to choose five books so that no two adjacent books are chosen.

What is 645/87 rounded to the nearest integer?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let us divide the two numbers as so-

645/87=7.41379310345\\

To round a number to the nearest integer, look at the decimal places.

Here we have .41 - The 4 is less than 5, so it cannot round the ones place to 8.

So our answer here is 7.

A comet travels at an average speed of 273,000 km/h.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: 52,416,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If a comet travels 273,000 km/hr

1) Multiply 273,000 km by 24 hours to find how far the comet travels in one day

2) multiply the answer from 1 by 8 to determine how far it travels in 8 days

1) \frac{273,000 km}{hr}*\frac{24 hr}{1 day} = \frac{6,552,000km}{day} (hours cancel out)

2)\frac{6,552,000km}{day}*8 day= 52,416,000 km in 8 days

The comet approximately travelled 52,416,000km from when it began to travel to when it reached Earth. Hope this helped :)
