Out of 8 men, 4 can be selected and lined up in (8 x 7 x 6 x 5) = 1,680 ways.
But within that number, each group of 4 appears in (4 x 3 x 2) = 24 orders.
So there are (1,680 / 24) = 70 different groups of men.
Out of 5 women, 3 can be selected and lined up in (5 x 4 x 3) = 60 ways.
But within that number, each group of 3 appears in (3 x 2) = 6 orders.
So there are (60 / 6) = 10 different groups of women.
Each different group of 70 men can be joined by any of the 10 groups
of women. So the total number of possible subcommittees is (70 x 10) = 700 .

Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<u>How can </u><u>we</u><u> factor 5x^2 + 26x - 24 = 0 using the completing the square </u><u>method?</u>
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

First, add 24 to both sides.
Since the coefficient of 5x² is 5, divide both sides by 5.
The coefficient of 26/5x is 26/5. So, let b=26/5.
Then we need to add (b/2)²=169/25 to both sides to complete the square.
Add 169/25 to both sides.
Factor the left side.
Take square root.
Then, add (-13)/5 to both sides.

Answer:
- -3/13 ≈ -1/4
- -6/11 ≈ -1/2
- -7/9 ≈ -3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll drop all the minus signs, since they don't contribute anything but distraction.
When numerators or denominators are relatively large, changing their value by 1 unit will have a relatively small effect on the value of the fraction. For example, ...
3/13 ≈ 3/12 = 1/4
If we compare the decimal values of these fractions, we see that ...
3/13 ≈ 0.230769... (6-digit repeating decimal)
The closest of the offered "reasonable estimate" fractions is 1/4 = 0.25.
__
Likewise, 6/11 ≈ 6/12 = 1/2. In decimal, these fractions are ...
6/11 = 0.54... (2-digit repeat)
1/2 = 0.5
__
We can also increase or decrease both numerator and denominator by the same amount to get a fraction with nearly the same value. This works best when the numbers are larger.
7/9 ≈ 6/8 = 3/4 . . . . . . both numerator and denominator decreased by 1
In decimal, these are ...
7/9 = 0.7... (1-digit repeat)
3/4 = 0.75
As 100%=1.0
8%=0.08
8.25%= 0.0825
