Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

50÷3=16R2

Second largest multiple of 3 that is smaller than 50=45

45÷3=15 groups of 3 people each

50-45=5

         =1 group of 5 people

Greatest possible number of groups=15+1

                                                            =16

there are 60 teams attend a chess tournament. every team will play with every other team exactly once. Supposed each team has a 50% chances of winning any games it plays and no ties occue which is the probability that no two teams win the same number of games

Answers

The probability that no two teams win the same number of games, P ≈ 2.084 × 10⁻⁴⁵³

The reason for arriving at the above probability is as follows:

The given parameters are;

The number of teams in the tournament, n = 60

The chance of a team winning a game = 50% = 0.5

The number of ties = No ties

The required parameter:

The probability that no two teams win the same number of games

Method:

Calculate the number of ways no two teams win the same number of games, and divide the result by the total number of possible outcomes

Solution:

The number of matches played, n = [tex]\dbinom {60} {2}[/tex] = 1,770

The possible outcomes = 2; Winning or losing

The total number of possible outcomes, [tex]n_p[/tex] = 2¹⁷⁷⁰

The number of games won by each team is between 0 and 59

The ways in which no two teams won the same number of games is given by the games won by the teams to be 0, 1, 2,..., 57, 58, 59

Therefore, the number of ways no two teams won the same number of games, the required outcomes, [tex]n_k[/tex] = 59!

[tex]Probability = \dfrac{Number \ of \ possible \ outcomes}{Number \ of \ required\ outcomes}[/tex]

The probability that no two teams win the same number of games is given as follows;

[tex]\mathbf{P(No \ two \ teams \ won \ the \ same \ number \ of \ games)} = \dfrac{n_k}{n_p}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]P(No \ two \ teams \ won \ the \ same \ number \ of \ games) = \dfrac{59!}{2^{1,770}} \approx \mathbf{2.084 \times 10^{-453}}[/tex]

The probability that no two teams win the same number of games, P ≈ 2.084 × 10⁻⁴⁵³

Marley made three full pitchers of lemonade. Eachpitcher holds exactly five cups of liquid. How many ounces of lemonade did Marley make?

Answers

Answer:

120 fluid ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cup = 8 fluid oz

Multiply 15 on both sides (since there is 3 pitchers and each is 5 cups, so 3 * 5 = 15 cups in total for all 3 pitchers) and we get 15 cups = 120 fluid oz.

So that's our answer

Calculate the cost for the fuel needed for Sam to drive to Nanaimo to tofino

(15 points)

Answers

Answer:

cost of Sam of fuel from Nanaimo to Tofino(207km) is $34.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Diatance from Nanaimo to Tofino is 207km.

Now:

fuel consume in 100km= 12L

fuel consume in 1km=12/100L

We have to find consumption of fuel in 207km.

fuel consume in 207km=12/100 × 207km

= 24.84L

Price of 1 liter= $1.40

Price of 24.84 liters=$1.40 × 24.84

solve 4m plus 2n equals 5n for m.

Answers

Answer:

m = (3/4) n

Step-by-step explanation:

4m + 2n = 5n

The subtraction property of equality states that we can subtract 2n from both sides to isolate the m and its coefficient to get

4m = 3n

The division property of equality states that we can divide 4 from both sides to isolate only the m (we divide by 4 because anything divided by itself equals 1) to get

Two rectangles are similar. The smaller has a length of 8 cm and an area of 40 cm.
If the width of the larger rectangle is 10 cm, find its area.

Answers

Answer:

160 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two rectangles are similar, that means they have equal scale factors.  The smaller rectangle has length of 8 cm and area of 40 cm, which means the width is 5 cm.  

The width of the larger rectangle is 10 cm, which is double the width of the smaller, similar rectangle.  So, to find the length of the larger rectangle, multiply 8 x 2, which gives you 16 cm for the length, since the scale factor is 2.

Now, just find the area of the larger rectangle by doing length x width.  16cm x 10 cm = 160 cm²

Answer:

160 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Our strategy is to find the length of the larger rectangle so we can find the area. To find the length, we will rely on the fact the two rectangles are "similar": their sides are in equal proportions, or have the same "ratio."

We know that the smaller rectangle has a width of 5 cm because, when we substitute area and length into

A = lw

we get

40 = 8w

w = 5

when we divide both sides by 8.

Because of equal proportions:

Width : length of the smaller rectangle = Width : length of the larger rectangle

We can write an equation

5 / 8 = 10 / x

Cross multiply

5x = 80

x = 16

So the larger rectangle has a length of 16 cm and a width of 10 cm (given)

meaning the area is

16 * 10 = 160 cm^2
