Answer:

FIRST NUMBER IS 20

AND

SECOND NUMBER IS 45

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE RATIO BE X

FIRST NUMBER = 4X

SECOND NUMBER = 9X

A/Q,

=}4X - 5 / 9X - 5 = 3 / 8

CRISS CROSS,

=}8 ( 4X - 5 ) = 9X - 5 ( 3 )

=}32X - 40 = 27X - 15

=}32X - 27X = - 15 + 40

=}5X = 25

=}X = 25 / 5

=}X = 5

THEREFORE,

FIRST NUMBER

=} 4X

=} 5 × 4

=} 20

SECOND NUMBER

=} 9X

=} 5 × 9

=} 45

There are 20 players on a soccer team. From them, a captain and an alternate captain have to be chosen. How many possibilities a
tester [92]

Answer:

190 possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is called 20 choose 2, given by the formula for combinations

C(20,2) = 20! / (2! (20-2)!) = 190

alternatively, we can reason it this way:

there are 20 choices to choose a captain and 19 choices for an alternate captain for a total of 380 ways.

However, there are 20 choices to choose an alternate captain and 19 choices for a captain for a total of 380 ways.

Since we are essentially double counting every choice of the posts, we need to divide 380 by 2 to get 190 ways.

A circle has a circumference of 361\pi361π361, pi. What is the diameter of the circle?
denpristay [2]
Remember, C=\pi d, where C is circumference and tex]d[/tex] is the diameter. They are related by a constant \pi (pi).

We can solve the above equation for d and then substitute our known values.
C=\pi d

d= \dfrac{C}{ \pi } =  \dfrac{361  \pi }{ \pi } = 361 \ units
