- A commuter must travel from Ajax to Barrie and back every day. Four roads join the two cities. The commuter likes to vary the trip as much as posible, so she alwaysleaves and returns by different roads. In how many different ways can she make the round-trip?arrow_forwardA triangular brick wall is made by cutting some bricks in half to use in the first column of every other row (see figure). The wall has 28 rows. The top row is one-half brick wide and the bottom row is 14 bricks wide. How many bricks are in the finished wall?arrow_forwardName the four parts of a mathematical system.

Some weekly rental and return patterns are shown in the table Rented From Returned to Metropolis Airport Downtown City Airport Metropolis Airport 90% 10% 10% Downtown 5% 80% 5% At the beginning of a week, how many cars should be at each location so that the same number of cars will be there at the end of the week? Start by writing a system of equations using three variables that represent the number of rental cars at each airport. Then convert this to an augmented matrix and put it in RREF using your calculator. Finally, interpret the results.arrow_forward
- The officers of a high school senior class are planning to rent buses and vans for a class trip. Each bus can transport 72 students, requires 7 chaperones, and costs $1300 to rent. Each van can transport 8 students, requires 1 chaperone, and costs $90 to rent. Since there are 720 students in the senior class that may be eligible to go on the trip, the officers must plan to accommodate at least 720 students. Since only 84 parents have volunteered to serve as chaperones, the officers must plan to use at most 84 chaperones. How many vehicles of each type should the officers rent in order to minimize the transportation costs? What are the minimal transportation costs?arrow_forwardA car rental agency in a major city has a total of 2200 cars that it rents from three locations: Metropolis Airport, downtown and at the smaller City Airport.

People outside Japan also call these items gacha. At a party, there are two gift bags. The first gift bag contains 4 Pokémon gachas and 3 Naruto gachas. The second gift bag contains 3 Pokémon gachas and 5 Naruto gachas. One gacha is drawn from the first gift bag and placed unseen in the second gift bag. What is the probability that a gacha now drawn from the second gift bag is a Naruto gacha?arrow_forward

If Fiona must select a vegetarian option on Friday, how many ways are there for her to select her lunches? (c) Again, suppose that out of the 10 dishes that the restaurant offers, only 3 of them are vegetarian. If Fiona must go with a vegetarian option on both Monday and Friday, how many ways are there for her to select her lunches? (d) Now suppose that Fiona can select a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian lunch on any day of the week. However, in addition to selecting her main course, she must also selects between water or tea for her drink. How many ways are there for her to select her lunches?arrow_forward
