Answer in screen shot below
The first book can be any one of the 5.
For each of those . . .
The 2nd book can be any one of the remaining 4.
For each of those ...
The 3rd book can be any one of the remaining 3.
For each of those . . .
The 4th book can be either of the remaining 2.
For each of those . . .
The 5th book is the last one remaining.
Total number of ways to arrange the 5 books is
(5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1) = 120 .
Cross off alphabetically ascending (1 way), and alphabetically
descending (1 way), and you're left with (120 - 2) = 118 ways.
It would be 3.25 because you can’t round 0.001 up
Given two coordinates point 1 as (-23,-14) and point 2 as(-18,2).
To find the midpoint we would use the formula below;

Where x1=-23, x2=-18, y1=-14, y2=2
We would substitute the values into the midpoint formula.

Therefore, the answer is
How many are there because there is no pic
