<h3>Answer:   450</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

For now, let's consider we can only select 2 classes instead of 4. Let's say we only had to worry about PE and history.

Let A,B,C,D,E represent the five PE classes.

Let F,G,H,I,J,K represent the six history classes.

If you arrange the letters in a table, you should get 5*6 = 30 different inner boxes of the table. Refer to the diagram below.

Each two letter code in the table represents the 2 class combo. For example, BG means you picked PE class B and history class G.

This idea can be extend to selecting 3 classes. Imagine that each of the codes in the table are laid along the side of a new table. So we'd have a table of 30 rows. Then lay out 5 columns (say with letters L,M,N,O,P) to represent the 5 English classes. You would get a table of 30*5 = 150 different combos here. Of course you shouldn't actually make such a table since it's so large, but I'm simply just saying for you to imagine one. All of the tables mentioned are completely optional. A tree diagram is another way to organize things, though tree diagrams tend to get cumbersome.

Anyway, we would have 5*6*5 = 30*5 = 150 different ways to pick the PE, history and English classes. We can extend this out to include the math classes as well.

-------------------------

In short, all we do is multiply the given values together:

5*6*5*3 = 30*15 = 450

This idea is known as the counting principle.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

40 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the height of water in a pool decreased 5 inches per week.

This means that we can form the equation y=-5x, since the amount of water remaining is proportionate to the amount of weeks that have passed.

We know x=8, since we need to find the change for 8 weeks.

y = -5\cdot 8

-5 \cdot 8 = -40

y=-40

The change will be the absolute value of -40, which just makes it positive, so 40.

Hope this helped!

427+316 

step one- add 400 and 300=700
step two- take 3 from the 16 and add it to the 27 and add - 27+3+13=43
step three- add 43 and 700

I think that the common core way just adds more steps and makes it more complicated than just adding it regularly, but that's just me.
