Given that the order of selection does not matter, it is the combination of 45 persons taken of 3.

This is (45!) / [(45-3)! * 3! ] = 45*47*46 / (3*2) = 16,215.

Answer: 16,215 different 3 person teams

It takes 8 minutes for Byron to fill the kiddie pool in the backyard using only a handheld hose. When his younger sister is impa
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Let us say that the procedure of completely filling up the pool with water is called “1 job”. Therefore the rates of the equipment in doing the job would be:

<span>Rate of handheld hose = 1 job / 8 minutes                  ---> 1</span>

<span>Rate of lawn sprinkler = r                                             ---> 2</span>

<span>Rate of the two combines = 1 job/ 5 minutes               ---> 3</span>

So we are to find the equation to use, in this case, we simply have to add equations 1 and 2 to get 3:

1 / 8 + r = 1 / 5

Multiplying both sides by 5:

<span>(5 / 8) + 5 r = 1                                                               ---> ANSWER</span>

A referendum failed by a vote of 36 No's and 24 Yes's. To make a pie chart of this result, what is the lesser measure in degrees
Daniel [21]
From the given number of people who voted Yes and No to the referendum, there are 60 people all in all. The fewer of which is 24 which voted as Yes. If we are to construct a pie chart and calculate the measure of the smaller angle, we take the ratio of 24 and 60 and multiply it to 360. 
      
                       measure of angle ACB = (24/60)(360)
                         measure of angle ACB = 144°

Thus, the angle measure 144°.

Erick, Mia, and Isabelle golfed 9 holes. Erick scored 10 more than Mia, and Isabelle scored 16 less than twice Mia's score. Use
klasskru [66]
X + x + 10 + 2x - 16

x = mia's score
x + 10 = erick's score
2x - 16 = isabelle's score

the entire expression is the sum of all 3 scores <==

What is the maximum vertical distance between the line y = x + 56 and the parabola y = x2 for −7 ≤ x ≤ 8?
atroni [7]
-7 and 8 are the solutions to the given equation system.
Therefore, the maximum distance between the y values of the two equations must lie exactly between their points of intersection. That is on x value:
x = (-7 + 8)/2 = 0.5
The maximum distance is:
y = 0.5 + 56 = 56.5
y = 0.5² = 0.25
56.5 - 0.25 = 56.25 units
