The newly elected president needs to decide the remaining 7 spots available in the cabinet he/she is appointing. If there are 13 eligible candidates for these positions (where rank matters), how many different ways can the members of the cabinet be appointed?

8648640 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of positions = 7

Number of eligible candidates = 13

This can be done by solving the question using the combination Formula for selection in which we use the combination formula to choose 7 candidates amomg the possible 13.

The combination Formula is denoted as:

nCr = n! / (n-r)! * r!

Where n = total number of possible options.

r = number of options to be selected.

Hence, selecting 7 candidates from 13 becomes:

13C7 = 13! / (13-7)! * 7!

13C7 = 1716.

Considering the order they can come in, they can come in 7! Orders. We multiply this order by the earlier answer we calculated. This give: 1716 * 7! = 8648640

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.
