Answer:

The largest possible number of adjacent empty chairs in a single row is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

The number of chairs = 8 × 10 = 80 chairs

The number of parents = 54

Sitting arrangements of parents = Alone or to one other person

Therefore;

The maximum number of parents on a row = 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 7

Hence when the rows have the maximum number of parents occupying the seats we have for the 8 rows;

7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 56

But there are only 54 parents, therefore, up to the 7th row will have 7 parents while the 8th row will have only 5 parents to make the possible sitting arrangement to be as follows;

7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 5 = 54

The sitting arrangement for the 8th row is therefore

1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0

Hence there will be three empty seats in the 8th row making the largest possible number of adjacent empty chairs in a single row = 3.

Given E = I × R and P = E × I, select the formula that will solve for E when only R and P are known.
stiv31 [10]

E = \left\{(a,b) \mid a \in I \text{ and } b \in R \right\}, P = \left\{(a,b) \mid a \in E \text{ and } b \in R \right\} but we cannot solve for the set E because we are missing information.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Polygon ABCD goes through a sequence of rigid transformations to form polygo
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The sequence of transformations involved is a reflection across the x axis, followed by a reflection across the y = x line

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon ABCD is shown in the image attached. The coordinates of the polygon are A(-6, 6), B(-4, 6), C(-4, 4), D(-6, 2), while the polygon A'B'C'D' is at A'(-6, -6), B'(-6, -4), C'(-4, -4), D'(-2, -6)

A transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, translation, dilation and rotation.

If a point O(x, y) is reflected across the x axis, the new coordinate is O'(x, -y).

If a point O(x, y) is reflected across the y = x line, the new coordinate is O'(y, x)

Hence if polygon ABCD is reflected across the x axis, the new coordinates are A*(-6, -6), B*(-4, -6), C*(-4, -4), D*(-6, -2). If a reflection across the y = x line, the new coordinates are A'(-6, -6), B'(-6, -4), C'(-4, -4), D'(-2, -6)

Giselle buys two types of flowers 48 pink roses and 56 white lilies she combines the two flowers to make identical bouquets with
SSSSS [86.1K]

To solve this problem, let us first lay out all the factors of each number.

48 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

56 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56

The greatest number of bouquets that can be made would be equal to the greatest common factor of the two numbers. In this case it would be 8.

<span>8 bouquets</span>
