Answer:

10 losses

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the greatest possible number of games the team lost

Let the number of games won be x

Number drawn be y

Number lost be z

Mathematically;

x + y + z = 38

Let’s now work with the points

3(x) + 1(y) + z(0) = 80

3x + y = 80

So we have two equations here;

x + y + z = 80

3x + y = 80

The greatest possible number of games lost will minimize both the number of games won and the number of games drawn

We can have the following possible combinations of draws and wins;

26-2

25-5

24-8

23-11

22-14

21-17

21-17 is the highest possible to give a loss of zero

Subtracting each sum from 38, we have the following loses:

10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 0

This shows the greatest possible number of games lost is 10

I have some questions regarding combinations in finite. Here is my first one I am stumped on:
podryga [215]

We will get the number of possible selections, and then subtract the number less than 25 cents.

We can choose the number of dimes 5 ways 0,1,2,3 or 4.
We can choose the number of nickels 4 ways 0,1,2 or 3.
We can choose the number of quarters 3 ways 0,1, or 2.

That's 5*4*3  = 60 selections 

Now we must subtract from the 60 the number of selections of coins that are less than 25 cents. These will involve only dimes and nickels. 

To get a selection of coin worth less than 25 cents:
If we use no dimes, we can use 0,1,2  on all 3 nickels.
That's 4 selections less than 25 cents. (that includes the choice of No coins at all in the 60, which we must subtract).

If we use exactly 1 dime , we can use 0,1,2, or all 3 nickels.
That's the 3 combinations less than 25 cents.

And there is 1 other selection less than 25 cents, 2 dimes and no nickels. 

So that's 4+3+1 = 8 selections which we must subtract from the 60.
 
Answer 60-8 = 52 selections of coins worth 25 cents or more.

Find the missing number in each sequence.<br><br> 40, ___ , 37 1/3 , 36
seraphim [82]
The common difference is 1 1/3
40-1 1/3= 38 2/3
38 2/3-1 1/3=37 1/3
37 1/3-1 1/3=36
Therefore the missing number is 38 2/3
