Answer:
4 out of the 6 possible numbers Josh wrote were greater than 480,000, while 2 out of the 6 possible numbers are less than 480,000
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The number with which Josh wrote the whole number = 8, 4, 7, 2, 9, and 0
The number in the thousands of the whole number that Josh wrote = 7
The number in the tens of the whole number that Josh wrote = 2
The value of the whole number that Josh wrote < 500,000
Therefore, we have;
The possible numbers in the hundreds of thousands place = 4, and 2
Which gives the following possible combinations;
The number of ways of selecting the first number = 1 way, the number is 4 to make the value less than 500,000
The number of ways of selecting the second number = 3 ways
The number of ways of selecting the third number = 1 way, the number is 7
The number of ways of selecting the fourth number = 2 ways as there are only two numbers left after filling the second place digit
The number of ways of selecting the fifth number = 1 way, the number is 2
The number of ways of selecting the sixth number = 1 ways
The total number of possible number combinations = 3×2×1 = 6 possible numbers, which are;
487920 or 497820 or 407829 or 407928 or 487029 or 497028
Therefore, 2 out of the numbers are less than 480,000, the remaining 4 possible numbers are larger than 480,000.
