Considering the situation described, the classification of the elections is given as follows:

  • David came in first place.
  • Greg came in second place.
  • Victor came in third place.
  • Mac came in fourth place.
  • Bill came in fifth place.

<h3>How to find the classification of the elections?</h3>

We take the situation that is described, and build the classification from it. The classification has the following format:

P1 - P2 - P3 - P4 - P5

With P1 being the first placed candidate, P2 being the second placed candidate, and so on until P5 which is the fifth placed candidate.

From the text given in this problem, we have that:

  • Victor finished in third place, and David beat him, hence P3 = Victor, David = P1 or P2.
  • Greg didn't come in first nor in last, hence, considering that Victor is P3, Greg = P2 or P4.
  • Mac didn't win, but he finished higher than Bill, hence, considering that Mac didn't win and that Victor is P3, Mac = P4, Bill = P5.
  • From the bullet points above, we can conclude that David = P1, Greg = P2.

Hence the places of each candidate are given as follows:

  • David came in first place.
  • Greg came in second place.
  • Victor came in third place.
  • Mac came in fourth place.
  • Bill came in fifth place.

A gear in a machine turns 2 1/2 times every hour.
givi [52]
We can solve this by multiplying those two numbers but we place them in improper fraction.

2 1/2 x 2 1/4
becomes
5/2 x 9/4

for fraction multiplication, just multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator

5/2 x 9/4 = 45/8

we can simplify this into mixed fraction while numbers in whole numbers and remainder in numerator

5 5/8 is the answer

Daniel deposits $300 into an account that earns 16% interest annually. Which equation can be used to model his account balance,
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

y=300(1+0.16)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>This account  can be  modeled using the compound interest formula.</h2><h2>the compound interest formula is expressed as</h2>

 A= P(1+r )^t

Where

A =final amount  = y

P=initial principal balance = $300

r=interest rate  = 16%= 0.16

t=number of time periods elapsed= x

Hence the equation to model his account balance/ final amount A (y) after time (x) years is

y=300(1+0.16)^x
