Roberto wants to display his 18 sports cards in an album. Some pages hold 2 cards and others hold 3 cards. How many different wa
WITCHER [35]
<span>65 = number of different arrangements of 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card slots equals 18. 416,154,290,872,320,000 = number of different ways of arranging 18 cards on the above 65 different arrangements of page sizes. ===== This is a rather badly worded question in that some assumptions aren't mentioned. The assumptions being: 1. The card's are not interchangeable. So number of possible permutations of the 18 cards is 18!. 2. That all of the pages must be filled. Since the least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, that means that 2 pages of 3 cards can only be interchanged with 3 pages of 2 cards. So with that said, we have the following configurations. 6x3 card pages. Only 1 possible configuration. 4x3 cards and 3x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 7!/4!3! = 35 different ways. 2x3 cards and 6x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 8!/2!6! = 28 ways 9x2 card pages. These can only be arranged in 1 way. So the total number of possible pages and the orders in which that they can be arranged is 1+35+28+1 = 65 possible combinations. Now for each of those 65 possible ways of placing 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card spaces is 18 has to be multiplied by the number of possible ways to arrange 18 cards which is 18! = 6402373705728000. So the total amount of arranging those cards is 6402373705728000 * 65 = 416,154,290,872,320,000</span>

A professor is examining a new strain of bacteria. The amount of bacteria can be modeled by function s(n) = 20 · bn, where n is
user100 [1]
For this case we have a function of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ n&#10;
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: growth rate (if b> 1)
 n: time in hours
 Substituting values we have:
 s (n) = 20 * b ^ n&#10;
 We have then that the initial amount is:
 A = 20&#10;
 If b = 1.85 then the growth percentage is:
 (1.85-1) * (100) = 85%&#10;
 Answer:
 
here were initially 20 bacteria.
 
The hourly percent growth rate of the bacteria would be 85%

A taxi cab charges $0.55 per mile in addition to a $1.75 flat rate fee. Susie has $10 to spend on a taxi cab ride. The taxi driv
Olenka [21]
The taxi driver doesn't give anyone a ride unless it's 2 miles away, as such you need to add at least $0.55x2 in addition to the $1.75 at the start
1.75+(0.55x2)=2.85
As Susie only has 10 dollars to spend, she can't exceed that. So Susie must spend more than $2.85(minimum from the taxi) and less than $10(her money)
so,
$2.85<Susie<$10

A maple syrup company is making a new label for its barrels of syrup. If the barrels are 5 feet tall and have a radius of 2 feet
Elanso [62]

Answer:

(A)62.8 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the barrels = 5 feet

Radius of the barrels= 2 feet

\pi=3.14

The barrel is in the shape of a cylinder and the area of the label the company needs is that of the round sides(curved surface area) of the cylinder.

Curved Surface Area of a Cylinder=2\pi rh

=2X3.14X2X5

=62.8 square feet

The company need 62.8 square feet of label.
