Dave has 10 poker chips, 6 of which are red and the other 4 of which are white. Dave likes to stack his chips and flip them over

as he plays. How many different 10-chip stacks can Dave make if two stacks are not consider distinct if one can be flipped to appear identical to the other

The number of 10 chips stacks that Dave can make if two stacks are not considered distinct is 110.

The solution

To get the symmetric stacks, one has to subtract the symmetric stacks to know the ones that are asymmetric.

The symmetric are flipped. Given that they are double counted what we have to do is to divide through by 2.

6/2 = 3

10/2 = 5

4/2 = 2

1/2(10C6) - (5C3) + (5C3)

0.5(210-10+10)

= 110

A) If a:b = 2:5 and b:c = 3:4, find (i) a:c(ii) a:b:c
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

A i. a:c=3:10

ii. a:b:c=2:5:10

B i. x:z=2:5

ii. x:y:z=2:4:5

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) If a:b = 2:5 and b:c = 3:4, find (i) a:c(ii) a:b:c

a:b=a/b=2/5

b:c=b/c=3/4

a/b*b/c=a/c

2/5*3/4=a/c

6/20=a/c

3/10=a/c

Therefore, a:c=3:10

a:b:c

a:b=2:5

b:c=3:4

b is common to both ratios

The value of b in the first ratio is 5 and b is 3 in the second ratio

Lets take the LCM of both values

LCM of 5 and 3=15

So, we will change the value of b in the first ratio and second ratio to 15

By doing this, we will multiply the whole first ratio by 3

We have, 6:15

We multiply the whole second ratio by 5

We have, 15:20

Therefore a:b:c=6:15:20

=2:5:10

B. If x:y = 1:2 and y:z = 4:5,

x:y=x/y=1:2

y:z=y/z=4:5

x/y*y/z=x/z

1/2*4/5=x/z

4/10=x/z

2/5=x/z

Therefore, x:z=2:5

x:y:z

x:y=1:2

y:z=4:5

y is common to both ratio

Take the LCM of y values in both ratio

LCM of 2 and 4 =4

So,we will change the value of y in the first and second ratio to 4

By doing this, we will multiply the whole first ratio by 2

We have, 2:4

We will also multiply the whole second ratio by 1

We have, 4:5

Therefore, x:y:z=2:4:5

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points using the formula.<br> (17, -19) (4, -15)
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

-4/13

Step-by-step explanation:

(17 , -19)  ; (4 , -15)

Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

          = \frac{-15-[-19]}{4-17}\\\\=\frac{-15+19}{4-17}\\\\=\frac{4}{-13}\\\\= \frac{-4}{13}
