Team A) 45 people
Team B) 55 people

A)There are two ways to solve this problem, finding the number of combinations possible for Team B, or the number of combinations possible for Team A. 
Team A
It's a given that 20 mathematicians are on team A, which leavs the other 25 people for team A to be chosen from a pool of 80 (100- 20 mathletes)
80-C-25 = 80! / (25!/(80-25)!) =<span>363,413,731,121,503,794,368
</span>or 3.63 x 10^20
Solving using Team B
Same concept, but choosing 55 from a pool of 80 (mathletes excluded)
80-C-25 = 80! / (55!(80-55!) = 363,413,731,121,503,794,368
or 3.63 x 10^20

As you can, we get the same answer for both. 

B)
If none of the mathematicians are on team A, then we exclude the 20 and choose 45:
80-C-45 = 80! / (45!(80-45)!) = <span>5,790,061,984,745,3606,481,440
or 5.79 x 10^22

Note that, if you solve from the perspective of Team B (80-C-35), you get the same answer</span>

Please help me and show your wprk

This is how I find the GCF.

I find the prime factors. 

63/3 = 21
21/3 = 7
7/7 = 1 

81/3 = 27
27/3 = 9
9/3 = 3
3/3 = 1

Then I find the common prime factors:
63: 3 x 3 x 7
81: 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 

Then I multiply the common prime factors:
3 x 3 = 9

The GCF for 63 and 81 (number 3) is 9. 

I bet you can use this method for all the other GCFs! :)

For this one, find the prime factors like before, and if there aren't any besides one, then it's a prime number. 

75/3 = 25
25/5 = 5
5/5 = 1
 
The prime factorization for 75 is 3 x 5 x 5

(I don't know the answer to 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 25, or 26, sorry!)

A rectangle has twice the area of a square. The rectangle has the dimensions of 20 inches by 8
Simora [160]

Answer:

In order to calculate perimeter, you need to add together the lengths of all four sides of the square. You are given the length of one side. Remember, all sides of a square are equal, so really you already have the measures of each side. Then, you add them together, so 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24 inches.
