Answer:

25872 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

We're choosing 5 women from a group of 11 and 3 men from a group of 8. We don't care about what order they are picked and so we'll use the combination formula, which is:

n!/(k!)(n-k)! with n as population and k as picks.

We'll multiply the results together. (8! / (3!)(8-3)!) * (11! / (5!)(11-5)!)

That equals: (8! / (3!)(5!) ) * (11! / (5!)(6!)) = 40320/(6x120) * 39916800/ (120x720)

56 * 462 = 25872

How can I solve 4x-2>3x+5
cluponka [151]
You would move over the -2 making the equation look like this 4x>3x+7. Then move the 3x to the other side of the equation making it look like this 1x>7. Thus the answer is x>7.

In a society there are 30 men and 20 women members.
krek1111 [17]
<h3>Answer:  2/5</h3>

This is because there are 20 women out of 50 people total (30+20 = 50).

So 20/50 = 2/5

This converts to the decimal form 0.4 and the percentage form 40%
