14C3 = 14! / 11!3! 

<span>= 14 x13 x12 / 3x2x1 </span>
<span>= 2184 / 6 </span>
<span>= 364 different combinations </span>

<span>The first movie can be any of 14 </span>
<span>As you have already seen one the second movie can be any of the 13 remaining </span>
<span>As you have already seen two the third movie can be any of the 12 remaining. </span>

<span>Therefore there are 14 x 13 x 12 = 2184 PERMUTATIONS of movies you can see. </span>
<span>However among those 2184 different permutations will be instances where you have watched the same three movies but just in a different order. </span>
<span>eg ET, The Piano, Harry Potter = ET Harry Potter The Piano = The Piano, ET, Harry Potter = The Piano Harry Potter ET = Harry Potter ET The Piano = Harry Potter The Piano ET. </span>
<span>For each set of three films there are 3! or 3x2x1 or SIX different ways they can be arranged in. </span>
<span>Therefore we need to DIVIDE the above 2184 permutations by 6 to get the number of COMBINATIONS of different films that can be watched. </span>
<span>2184 / 6 = 364</span>

Helen gathered 37 mushrooms in three hours. How many mushrooms did she gather every hour, if she gathered 7 more mushrooms in th
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

On the first hour she gathered 8 mushroons, on the second 15 mushroons and on the third she gathered 14 mushroons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Helen gathred a total of 37 mushroons in three hours. On the first hour she gathered "x" mushroons, on the second hour she gathered "x + 7" mushroons and on the third hour she gathered "x + 6". Therefore the sum of mushrrons she gathered on each hour should be equal to the total she gathered as shown below:

37 = x + (x+ 7) + (x + 6)

37 = 3*x + 13

3*x + 13 = 37

3*x = 37 - 13

3*x = 24

x = 24 / 3

x = 8

On the first hour she gathered 8 mushroons, on the second 15 mushroons and on the third she gathered 14 mushroons.
