Answer:
44.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a right triangle, we can use trig functions
sin theta = opp / hyp
sin x = 7/10
Taking the inverse sin of each side
sin^-1 (sin x) = sin^-1(7/10)
x = 44.427
Rounding to the nearest tenth
x = 44.4
For this example, we must combine not permutate; this because a salad in which you first use apple then tomato is the same as the one in which you use first tomato then apple, so order does not matter.
Me must do "10 combine 7" which is written by the binomial coefficient

; in general a binomial coefficient is written by:

In which

and

are positive integers, such that

.
So, for this problem:
Hence, there are 120 different ways to make the fruit salad.
That is about right... 2,514 X 2 = 5,028 so he is about 1,000 off. I will leave the rest to you.
