Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 8 candidates for student government: Hal, Mary, Ann, Frank, Beth, John, Emily, and Tom.

The three candidates that receive the highest number of votes become candidates for a runoff election.

i.e. 3 persons out of 8 to be selected for becoming candidates for a runoff election.

Since order does not matter we use combinations here

3 persons out of 8 can be done in 8C3 ways

= 56

no of 3-candidate combinations  possible are 56

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. A self-service car wash charges $4 for the initial 5 minutes plus an additio
arlik [135]

Answer: For m\geq15

\\\Rightarrow\ y=4+0.75(m-5)\geq4+0.75(15-5)\\\Rightarrow\ y\geq4+0.75(10)\\\Rightarrow\ y\geq4+7.5\\\Rightarrow\ y\geq11.5

Nick does not has enough money to follow this recommendation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A self-service car wash charges $4 for the initial 5 minutes plus an additional $0.75 for each minute after that.

Let y be the cost for car wash for m minutes then

y=4+0.75(m-5) such that at m= 5 , y=4 which is the cost for car wash (dollars) for first 5 minutes.

Also, A car enthusiast magazine recommends spending at least 15 minutes to properly wash a car.

For m\geq15

\\\Rightarrow\ y=4+0.75(m-5)\geq4+0.75(15-5)\\\Rightarrow\ y\geq4+0.75(10)\\\Rightarrow\ y\geq4+7.5\\\Rightarrow\ y\geq11.5

But Nick has $10 which is less than $11.5, so he does not has enough money to follow this recommendation.

Above 40              0.57                      0.43

Work: 8+22=30        17+13=30     turn into a fraction then simplify to get answer;

22/30   simp= 73.0 (0.73)

13/30     simp= 43.0 (0.43)

8/30      simp= 26.667 (0.27)

A row of tiny red beads is placed at the beginning and at the end of a 20‐centimeter bookmark.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

51 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of bookmark = 20cm

Distance between beads = 4mm

Required

Number of rows of beads

First, the distance between the rows of beads must be converted to cm

if 1mm = 0.1cm

then

4mm = 4*0.1cm

4mm = 0.4 cm

This means that each row of beads is placed at 0.4 cm mark.

The distance between each row follows an arithmetic progression and it can be solved as follows;

T_n = a + (n-1)d

Where Tn = 20cm (The last term)

a = 0 cm (The first term)

d = 0.4cm (The distance between each row of beads)

n = ?? (number of rows)

Solving for n; we have the following;

T_n = a + (n-1)d becomes

20 = 0 + (n-1)0.4

20 =  (n-1)0.4

DIvide both sides by 0.4

\frac{20}{0.4} =  \frac{(n-1)0.4}{0.4}

50 =  (n-1)

50 =  n-1

Add 1 to both sides

50 + 1=  n-1 + 1

n = 51

Hence, the number of rows of beads is 51
