Answer: 13
Althoug each round trip takes 9 minutes and can carry 5 people on the boat, you can not just divide the 20 minutes time by 9 and multiply by 5 to find the number of people that are saved without getting wet.
First trip:
5 people take the boat to the island but only 4 can stay, because one has to return with the boat to the ship to rescue other 4 people.
So, when 9 minutes have passed, 4 people are safe on the island and the boat is again by the ship.
Second trip:
In the second trip, other 4 people are rescued,along with "sailor" who returned in the boat to rescue them.
When it has passed 18 minutes, the boat is next to the ship agin to carry other 4 people before the boat sinks.
This is the last trip before the boat sinks. So, the total number of passengers rescued is 4 + 4 + 5 = 13
20 cupcakes will cost $49.60. You divide 44.64 by 18 and get 2.48. Multiply 2.48 by two getting 4.96. Then you add 44.64 and 4.96 together and get your answer.
If you are considering P of the permutation and combination. Then simply pit the figure 6P5 in calculator and your answer will be 720. Or if not calculator then the formula is P(n,r)= n(factorial)/ (n-r)factorial.
Kelly has $10
- half: $10 - 1/2 x $10
$10 - $5 = $5
- one third: $5 - 1/3 x $5
$5 - $1.6667... or $5 - $1 and 2/3 = $3.33... or $3 and 1/3 or $10/3
She will have left $3.33 left, or $3 and 1/3
A. Because you would have to subtract C to isolate a by itself
