A zoo has a menagerie containing four pairs of different animals, one male and one female for each. The zookeeper wishes to feed the animals in a specific pattern: each time he feeds a single animal, the next one he feeds must be a different gender. If he starts by feeding the male giraffe, how many ways can he feed all the animals?

The zookeeper can feed all the animals in 144 ways

The number of different animals is given as:

The number of ways to feed any of the 4 male animals is:

Expand

From the question, we understand that the female of the particular animal cannot be selected (yet).

So, there are 3 female animals left.

The number of ways to feed any of the 3 female animals is:

Expand

So, the number (n) of ways to feed all the animals is:

Hence, he can feed all the animals in 144 ways

144

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use permutations to solve this problem

There are 4 pairs each having a male and a female.

The total number of sample points is 4! = 4*3*2*1= 24

He chooses the male first  then the number of sample space he is left with are 3! = 3*2*1=6

The total number of ways he can select is 4! 3! = 24 * 6= 144

Another way of finding it out is

he has 4 pairs  each having a male and a female so he chooses 1st male then he would choose from this

4 female choices*3 male choices * 3 female choices *2 male choices *2 female choices *1 male choices *1 female choices *= 4*3*3*2*2*1*1= 144

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.
