Three large packages of cookies are available: oatmeal, chocolate chip, and shortbread. in how many ways can one cookie be placed on each of 10 identical white plates?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of  packages of cookies = 3 ( oatmeal, chocolate chip, and shortbread )

Since, in each packet the number of possible ways of placing a cookie = 3 ( ∵ we can place from any of the packets )

If there are 10 such plates,

Then the total possible ways of placing a cookie in 10 plates

= 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
