Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways the answer to this question can be determined

Method 1 : the fast method

We know that 8 is twice 4

4 x 2 = 8

The ratio of diet soda = 8

the ratio of regular sodas = 4

Diet sodas = 112

the number of regular sodas = 112 / 2 = 56

Method 2 : The long method

I would first determine the total number of diet and regular sodas. Let the total number be represented by d

from the question, the following equation can be derived :

(8/12) x d = 112

divide both sides of the equation by 12/8 to determine the value of d

d = 112 x (12/8) = 168

We can now derive a value for the number of regular soda

regular sodas = ( ratio of regular sodas / total soda) x total number of sodas

(4/12) x 168 = 56

Seventeen candidates have filed for the upcoming county council election. 7 are women and 10 are men a) Is how many ways can 10

tankabanditka [31]

Answer: (a) 19448 ways

(b) 5292 ways

(c) 0.2721

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) 10 county council members be randomly elected out of the 17 candidates in the following ways:

= $^{n}C_{r}$

= $^{17}C_{10}$

= $\frac{17!}{10!7!}$

= 19448 ways

(b) 10 county council members be randomly elected from 17 candidates if 5 must be women and 5 must be men in the following ways:

we know that there are 7 women and 10 men in total, so

= $^{7}C_{5}$ × $^{10}C_{5}$

= $\frac{7!}{5!2!}$ × $\frac{10!}{5!5!}$

= 21 × 252

= 5292 ways

= $\frac{ ^{7}C_{5} * ^{10}C_{5}}{^{17}C_{10}}$

= $\frac{5292}{19448}$

= 0.2721

The hiking trail 2600 miles long and passes through fourteen states. Because it is their first time hiking the trail, Janet and

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

They will hike 16% of the trail in Georgia.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

The hiking trail is of 2600 miles.

416 of those miles are in Georgia?

What percent of the trail will they hike?

Georgia distance multiplied by 100% and divided by the total distance. So

416*100%/2600 = 16%

They will hike 16% of the trail in Georgia.

A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year. the speed of light is 3.00 × 108 m/s. how many miles are there in o

Leya [2.2K]

One of the basic equations in physics is Speed = Distance/Time. Thus,

Distance = Speed*Time

Time = 1 light-year * 365 days/yr * 24 h/day * 3,600 s/h = 31536000 seconds
Distance = (3×10⁸ m/s)*(31536000 s) = 9.4608×10¹⁵ meters

Convert meters to miles:
Distance = 9.4608×10¹⁵ m * 1 mile/1,609 m = 5.88×10¹² miles
