- You have 15 books to be arranged on your bookshelf. If each different arrangement takes one minute to shuffle around, how long (to the nearest tenth of a year) would it take to "try out" all the possible arrangements?arrow_forwardAn English teacher needs to pick 10 books to put on his reading list for the next school year, and he needs to plan the order in which they should be read. He has narrowed down his choices to 5 novels, 6 plays, 6 poetry books, and 8 nonfiction books. Step 2 of 2: if he wants to include all 6 plays, how many different reading schedules are possible? Express your answer in scientific notation rounding to the hundredths place.arrow_forwardIn a garden of fruit trees, 1/2 are Mango trees, 1/4 are Jackfruit trees, 1/6 are Rambutan trees. You can calculate how many trees are there in the garden by counting the Durian trees. There are 100 Durian trees, so how many trees are in the garden?arrow_forward
