Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Students have asked these similar questions
We usually write numbers in decimal form (or base 10), meaning numbers are composed using 10 different “digits" {0, 1, ... , 9}. Sometimes though it is useful to write numbers hexadecimal or base 16. Now there are 16 distinct digits that can be used to form numbers: {0, 1, ...,9, A, B, C, D, E, F}. So for example, a 3 digit hexadecimal number might be 2B8. Assume that digits and letter can be repeated. a. How many 6-digit hexadecimals are there in which the first digit is E or F? b. How many 3-digit hexadecimals start with a letter (A-F) and end with a numeral (0-9)? c. How many 4-digit hexadecimals start with a letter (A-F) or end with a numeral (0-9) (or both)?
