Answer:

<h3>495 different ways</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

This question bothers on combination. Combination has to do with selection. When selecting r objects from a pool of n objects, this is expressed as;

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

For us to choose rank the first 4 choices from 12 students nominated, this can be done in 12C4 number of ways;

12C4 = 12!/(12-4)!4!

12C4 = 12!/8!4!

12C4 = 12*11*10*9*8!/8!*4*3*2

12C4 = 12*11*10*9/24

12C4 = 11880/24

12C4 = 495 ways

Hence this can be done in 495 different ways

The area ratio is 1:16 meaning that the old area is 1 while the new area is 16. So this is another way of saying "the area is multiplied by 16"

Take the square root of each part of the ratio of 1:16 and we get 1:4

So this is the scale factor. It tells us how the linear components of the circles relate to one another. If the circumference of the smaller circle is 1,then the larger circle has a circumference of 4.

Therefore, the circumference has been multiplied by 4

I don't know how to answer this question.
laiz [17]

Answer:

- 39/8y

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find a common denominator:

There is already a y in both denominators, so you don't have to worry about that. Since only one denominator has an 8, the other needs to have an 8, so you need to multiply the first fraction by 8 → - 4/y * 8 = - 32/8y

From here you can subtract the numerators:

- 32/8y +(- 7/8y) = - 39/8y

Because you are adding a negative to a negative, it makes the number mroe negative


I hope this helps!

dsp73

Answer:

  in 2005, 17.3 percent of students are taking at least one online course

Step-by-step explanation:

f(5) = 2.6(5) +4.3 = 17.3

The definition of the function f(x) tells you that f(5) = 17.3 means 5 years after the year 2000, 17.3 percent of students are taking at least one online course.

dexar [7]

Answer:

1/2 pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversions: 48 oz = 3 lb

The ratio in the new pot is 3*2 tbs : 3 pounds , or just 6:3, which simplifies to 2:1. This means for every two tbs of powder, 1 lb of beef is used. This means that for every one tbs, 1/2 lb of beef is used.
