Answer: 210

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of flags available = 7

The number of flags required = 3

Since for the arrangement of flags , the order matters.

So we apply permutation to find the number of possible signals.

The number of possible signals of 7 flags taking 3 at a time is given by :-

^7P_3=\dfrac{7!}{(7-3)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!}=210

Hence, the number of possible signals of 7 flags taking 3 at a time is  210

HELP MEEEEEEEEEE Package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes and costs $9.60. Package B contains 8 birthday cards
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Each birthday card costs $2.2 ⇒ answer c

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

- It costs $9.60

- Package B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

- It costs $26.60

- x represents the cost of birthday card and y represents the cost of

 thank-you note

* Lets change these information to two equations

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∵ y represents the cost of each thank-you notes

∵ Bag A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

∵ Bag A costs $9.60

∴ 3x + 2y = 9.60 ⇒ (1)

∵ Bag B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

∵ Bag B costs $26.60

∴ 8x + 6y = 26.60 ⇒ (2)

* Lets solve this system of equations to find x and y

- Multiply equation (1) by -3 to eliminate y

∵ -3(3x) + -3(2y) = -3(9.60)

∴ -9x - 6y = -28.8 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ -x = -2.2

- Multiply both sides by -1

∴ x = 2.2

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∴ The cost of each birthday card is $2.2

* Each birthday card costs $2.2

A survey of the men in a certain town showed that 35% of the men have blond hair and 14% of them have blond hair and blue eyes.
natita [175]
If you are given he has blond hair, so the total probability will be 35%. And among them, he needs to have blue eyes, its probability is 14% among the 35%. So the final probability is 14%/35%=40%.

Match the following items.
Margarita [4]

Answer:

1. m\angle ECB=50\\2. m\textrm{ arc BC}=100\\3. m\textrm{ arc CD}=80\\4. m\angle DCF=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\angle DBC=40°

From the triangle, using the theorem that center angle by an arc is twice the angle it subtend at the circumference.

m\textrm{ arc CD}=2\times \angle DBC\\m\textrm{ arc CD}=2\times 40=80

Also, the diameter of the circle is BD. As per the theorem that says that angle subtended by the diameter at the circumference is always 90°,

m\angle BCD=90

From the Δ BCD, which is a right angled triangle,

m\angle DBC+m\angle BDC=90\textrm{ (right angled triangle)}\\40+m\angle BDC=90\\m\angle BDC=90-40=50

Now, using the theorem that angle between the tangent and a chord is equal to the angle subtended by the same chord at the circumference.

Here, chords CD and BC subtend angles 40 and 50 at the circumference as shown in the diagram by angles m\angle DBC\textrm{ and }m\angle BDC and EF is a tangent to the circle at point C.

Therefore, m\angle DCF=m\angle DBC=40\\m\angle ECB=m\angle BDC=50

Again, using the same theorem as above,

m\angle DCF=50\\\therefore m\textrm{ arc BC}=2\times m\angle DCF=2\times 50=100

Hence, all the angles are as follows:

1. m\angle ECB=50\\2. m\textrm{ arc BC}=100\\3. m\textrm{ arc CD}=80\\4. m\angle DCF=40

3.75(500) + 500
We can make it simpler:
