Here's a pattern to consider:
1+100=101
2+99=101
3+98=101
4+97=101
5+96=101
.....
This question relates to the discovery of Gauss, a mathematician. He found out that if you split 100 from 1-50 and 51-100, you could add them from each end to get a sum of 101. As there are 50 sets of addition, then the total is 50×101=5050
So, the sum of the first 100 positive integers is 5050.

Quick note
We can use a formula to find out the sum of an arithmetic series:
s =  \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}
Where s is the sum of the series and n is the number of terms in the series. It works for the above problem.

The car treves 15 milies in 3 hours.
solong [7]

Answer:

  • 5 mph

To find miles per hour, divide miles by hours:

To find distance, multiply speed by time.

Order the racers from first place to fifth place based on the clues.
tester [92]

Answer:

Jennifer - 1st

Susan - 2nd

Emily - 3rd

Janice - 4th

Maria - 5th

Step-by-step explanation:

Susan is 2nd.

Places 1, 3, 4, and 5 are left.

Janice and Jennifer both start with J. None of the other swimmers start with the same first letter. One is 1st and one is 4th.

Since Maria finished immediately after Janice, and Janice must be 1st or 4th, Janice can't be first since 2nd place is already taken. This means that Janice is 4th and Maria is 5th.

Places 1 and 3 are left.

We know Jennifer is 1st or 4th and since 4th is taken, Jennifer is first.

Place 3 is left.

Emily must be 3rd since that is the only spot left.
