Answer : 3, 360 ways

Total number of people running the race = 16

We have three slot to be filled for first, second and third

Any person can take the first position irrespective of the arrangement

one out of the 16 people can come first

out of the 15 people remaining , one person can also come second remaining 14

out of the 14 people, one person can also come third

The number of ways the gift can be awarded = 16 x 15 x 14

The nummber of ways the prizes can be awarded = 3360 ways

The formula for the circumference of a circle is c= 2pi r, where r is the radius. Rearrange the formula to solve for our and sel
ratelena [41]

Answer:  r = C/(2pi)

This is the same as writing r = \frac{C}{2\pi}

=========================================================

Explanation:

pi is some number (approximately 3.14) which means 2pi is also some number (roughly 6.28)

Saying c = 2pi*r means we have 2pi times r, and the result is the circumference c. To isolate r, we'll undo the multiplication. We'll undo it by dividing both sides by 2pi like so

C = 2pi*r

C/(2pi) = r

r = C/(2pi)

in which we can write it like r = \frac{C}{2\pi}

So whatever C is, we divide it over 2pi (aka roughly 6.28) to get the radius.

-----------------

Extra Info (Optional Section):

As an example, let's say the circumference of the circle is 628 feet. This means the distance around the circle is 628 feet. So C = 628 would lead to...

r = C/(2pi)

r = C/(6.28)

r = 628/(6.28)

r = 100

So the radius would be roughly 100 feet.
