How do you simplify 8x7x6?
It would be far, far simpler and quicker to use the calculator on your computer. I could tell you that the answer is 336 but you could not be sure that I had not made a mistake.
How many ways can you select three sheriff deputies from eight candidates?
336 different ways So there are 8 people total, and you have to chose 3. All you have to do is multiply 8x7x6 because you dont want to be picking the same person by doing 8x8x8
The base area of a rectangular prism is 56 inches squared and the height is 6 inches what is the volume of this shape?
The correct answer is 336 inches squared, because 56x6=336. It already did part of the answer for you. It was probably 8x7=56. So, 8x7x6=336 inches squared.
How many different 3 person committees can be formed from a group of 8?
8.7.6/3! = 56 Here is why this works. There are 8 choices for the fist member of the committee. Then we have 7 choices for the next and 6 for the last. HOWEVER, when picking a committee, the order does not matter. So for example if we pick Chuck, Judy and Melanie and we denote them as C, J and M respectively, then one committee is CJM but that is the same committee as CMJ and MCJ. In fact, there are 3! or 3x2x1=6 ways to arrange the 3 members so we must divide 8x7x6 by 6 and the result is 56 committees of 3 people picked from 8. Picking a committee is an example of a combination problem in math. If order mattered it would be a permutation.
