A certain country is rapidly running out of telephone numbers. In large cities, telephone companies have introduced new area codes as numbers are used up. A telephone number consists of a three-digit area code followed by a 4-digit number. Complete parts (a) and (b). (a) Until recently, all area codes had a 0 or a 1 as the middle digit and the first digit could not be 0 or 1 and the third digit could not be 2. How many area codes were possible with this arrangement? How many telephone numbers does the current 4-digit sequence permit per area code? (The first two digits that follow the area code cannot start with 0 or 1. Assume that there are no other restrictions.) There are area codes possible. (Type a whole number.)

Assume a country has 3-digit area codes that all have 0 or 1 as the middle digit and do not have 0 or 1 as the first digit. Use this information to answer parts (a) and (b). (a) How many area codes are possible with this arrangement? There are area codes possible. (Type a whole number.) If the country uses a 9-digit sequence for each telephone number, then how many telephone numbers does the country permit per area code? (The first two digits that follow the area code cannot be 0 or 1. Assume that there are no other restrictions.) The country's 9-digit sequence will permit telephone numbers. (Type a whole number.) (b) The country recently experienced a shortage of area codes. To avoid this, the country removed the restriction on the second digit. How many area codes are available under the new system? There are area codes possible. (Type a whole number.)

Use this information to answer parts (a) and (b) (a) How many area codes are possible with this arrangement? There are area codes possible. (Type a whole number.) If the country uses a 5-digit sequence for each telephone number, then how many telephone numbers does the country permit per area code? (The first three digits that follow the area code cannot be 0. Assume that there are no other restrictions) The country's 5-digit sequence will permit telephone numbers (Type a whole number.) b) The country recently experienced a shortage of area codes.

Assume a country has 3-digit area codes that all have 0 or 1 as the middle digit and do not have 0 or 1 as the first digit. Use this information to answer parts (a) and (b). (a) How many area codes are possible with this arrangement? There are 160 area codes possible. If the country uses a 8-digit sequence for each telephone number, then how many telephone numbers does the country permit per area code? (The first two digits that follow the area code cannot be 0. Assume that there are no other restrictions.) The country's 8-digit sequence will permit telephone numbers.
