A bag contains 17 counters all of different colours. Colin chooses one counter and gives it to Obi, and another counter and gives it to Zeema. In how many ways can Colin do this?

Colin can do this is 272 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first counter goes to Obi and the second to Zeema, so the order is important. This means that we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

In this question:

Two counters from a set of 17. So

Colin can do this is 272 ways.

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
