A state lottery game consists of choosing one card from each of the four suits in a standard deck of playing cards. Each suit has 13 cards. Count the number of ways in which four cards, each of a different face value, can be chosen.

17160

Step-by-step explanation:

first there are 13 options

then there are 13 - 1 that was chosen

then there are 13 - 2 that were chosen

then there are 13 - 3 that were chosen

so that's 13 options, then 12 options, then 11 options, and then 10 options

and in order to figure out all of the possibilties we mutiply the options so

13*12*11*10 = 17160

little further explaining of why this works:

we have a set of letters (3 in a set)

A B C

what are the possible combinations?

AB

AC

BC

BA

CA

CB

the answer is 6 which is also 3 * 2 * 1 = 6

7 weeks

step-by-step explanation:

convert each fraction to the least common multiple of 20, so 3/4 = 15/20 & 1/10 = 2/20, then divide 15 by 2 and you get a little over 7, so the food will last 7 weeks.

8

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.
