1. A machine shop has eight screw machines but only three spaces available in the production area for the machine. In how many different ways can the eight machines be arranged in the three spaces available? 2. A quality control randomly selects two of five parts to test for defects. In a group of five parts, how many combinations of two parts can be selected?

a= 336 different ways

b= 10 possible combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is a definite machine and it must have ordered combinations therefore it is a permutation question . So finding 3 out of eight

8 P 3= 336  different ways the eight machines be arranged in the three spaces available.

Since the parts are randomly selected and there is no distinct pattern therefore combinations is used to solve this.

5C2 = 10 possible combinations of two parts can be selected.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

its a, i had the same answer, its from study island right
