There are 3 choices for the pants. Having selected a pair of pants there are 2 choices for a shirt. Therefore there are 3 * 2 possible choices for a pair of pants and a shirt. Each of these 6 possible choices can be combined with each of the 3 possible choices of a pair of shoes. So, the total number of choices of outfit is given by:
Answer as an improper fraction = 16/5
Answer as a mixed number = 3 & 1/5
Answer in decimal form = 3.2
All of those values represent the same thing, but written in a different way.
=============================================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming HM stands for Harmonic Mean in this case.
If so, then we apply the reciprocal operation to each value to get 1/2 and 1/8 (from 2 and 8 respectively).
Add up those fractions:
1/2 + 1/8 = 4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8
Now we'll divide n = 2 over that result. The n = 2 refers to the number of items in the original set.
n divide over (5/8) = 2*(8/5) = 16/5 which is the answer as an improper fraction
-----------
To convert to a mixed number, we can do the following:
16/5 = (15+1)/5
16/5 = 15/5 + 1/5
16/5 = 3 + 1/5
16/5 = 3 & 1/5
Or if you need the answer in decimal form, then using a calculator would get you 16/5 = 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: b = 4, h = 13
Discussion:
For a triangle with base b" and height "h, the area formula is
A= (1/2)bh.
In our case A = 26, h = 5b-7, so
26 = (1/2) b (5b-7). Multiply both sides by 2:
26*2 = b(5b-7) =>
52 = b(5b-7) =>
52 = 5b^2 - 7b => (subtract 52 from both sides)
5b^2 - 7b - 52 = 0. This factors as follows:
(b - 4) (5 b + 13) = 0 (use quadratic formula to find this)
so b = 4 and h = 5b -7 = 5*4 - 7 = 13
Thank you,
MrB
