Any one of the runners could be 1st.
Every runner except for the one that was 1st could be 2nd.
Every runner that wasn't 1st or 2nd could be 3rd.
100*99*98=970200 groups.
This involves permutations because order does matter.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
180 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Going North
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
d = r * t
<em><u>Givens</u></em>
r = 60 mph
t = 5.2 hours
d = ?
<em><u>Solution</u></em>
d = 5.2 * 60 = 312 miles north
Going South
<em><u>Givens</u></em>
r = 55 mph
t = 2.4 hours
<em><u>Solution</u></em>
d = r * t
d = 55 * 2.4
d = 132
Distance from home
Formula: Distance from home = Distance North - Distance South
Distance North = 312 - 132 = 180 miles
Number of books each of them have:
Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)
There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24 / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200 / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40
Doublecheck:
Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102
102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)
(-8)^2
(-8)(-8)
64
