A law firm is going to designate associates and partners to a big new case. The daily rate charged to the client for each associ

ate is $700 and the daily rate for each partner is $1500. The law firm assigned a total of 11 lawyers to the case and was able to charge the client $14100 per day for these lawyers' services. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of associates assigned to the case and the number of partners assigned to the case. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Response:

Each associate incurs a cost of $700 daily for the client, meaning that 'a' associates will cost the client 700a dollars each day. For each partner, the charge is $1500 daily, so 'p' partners will accumulate a cost of 1500p dollars daily. The cumulative bill amounts to 700a + 1500p = $14100:

700a + 1500p = 14100

700a + 1500p = 14100

Given that there are a total of 11 lawyers assigned (associates and partners), the equation a + p must equal 11.

a + p = 11

a + p = 11

\underline{\text{Formulate System of Equations:}}

Formulate System of Equations:

​

700a + 1500p =

700a + 1500p = 14100

14100

a + p = 11

zzz [12365]
Gerry has 25 more basketball cards than he does baseball cards. Step-by-step explanation: Gerry owns a total of 50 sports trading cards. Among these, one-fifth are baseball cards, meaning he has 10 baseball cards. One-tenth of his collection consists of football cards, so he has 5 football cards. The remainder are basketball cards, leading to the conclusion that he has 35 basketball cards. The difference in quantity between his basketball and baseball cards is 25.

Suppose that there are 15 antennas in a store, of which 3 are defective. Assume all the defectives and all the functional antenn
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 antennas in total.

Out of these, 3 are defective.

This means that 12 antennas are functioning: 15-3=12.

To ensure that no two defective antennas are adjacent, we need to have only one defective at a time placed between the functional ones.

So,

We align the 13 functional antennas, then look for the spaces where the defective antennas can fit

__G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __

Each gap represented by an underscore indicates a possible location for a defective antenna, allowing for just one per space.

Consequently, there are 14 potential spots for the defective antennas. With 3 defectives, we are dealing with a combinatorial arrangement.

ⁿCr= n!/(n-r)!r!

The total number of arrangements possible is

14C3=14!/(14-3)!3!

14C3=14×13×12×11!/11!×3×2

14C3=14×13×12/6

That gives us 364 distinct ways to arrange them.

tester [12383]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a mosquito lands on your neck per second is 0.5

The chance of it biting once it lands is 0.2

The likelihood that it does not bite after landing is 0.8

Therefore, the probability of a bite in one second is 0.5(0.2) = 0.01

This translates to a 1/100 likelihood of being bitten in just one second

Over the course of 100 seconds, the expected number of bites is =1

The anticipated interval between bites is 100
