Answer:

1320 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

In a race in which twelve automobiles are entered and there are no ties.

We have to find the ways in which first three finishers come in.

In these questions when order is fixed means when first, second and third positions are fixed (First comes, then second and then third) then we use the permutation to find the number of ways.

3 positions out of 12 automobiles = ^{12}P_{3}=\frac{12!}{(12-3)!}

= \frac{12!}{9!}

= \frac{(12)(11)(10)(9!)}{(9!)}

= 12×11×10

= 1320

In 1320 ways first three automobiles may come in.

That is 3 slots
12 in 1st slot
11 in 2nd
10 in 3rd

so that is 12*11*10 or 1320 ways

That's a copy of the figure from the other post; I didn't look at the answer.

We have Start(0,0)

A(-16.55\cos 25, -16.55 \sin 25)

B=A+(5 \cos 53, 5 \sin 53)

C=B+(20,0)

C=(-16.55\cos 25 + 5 \cos 53+20, -16.55 \sin25 - 5 \sin 53)

C \approx (8.00968, -10.9875) \approx(8,-11)

Your team takes the direct path at a constant speed of 6 miles per hour.

<span>Our team.  T=\sqrt{8^2+11^2}/6 = 2.27 \textrm{ hours}

</span><span>Team Red follows the riddle and travels at 8 mph from Start to Post A, 9 mph from Post A to Post B, and 11 mph from Post B to Finish.

T=16.55/8 + 5/9 + 20/11 = 4.44 \textrm{ hours}

Team Blue follows the riddle and travels at a constant speed of 10 mph.

</span>T=(16.55 + 5 + 20)/10 = 4.155 \textrm{ hours}
<span>
Team Yellow follows the riddle and travels at a constant speed of 11 mph, but stops at Post A for 30 minutes and stops again at Post B for another 30 minutes.
</span>
T=(16.55 + 5 + 20)/11 + 30/60 + 30/60=4.78 \textrm{ hours}

Winner: our team, then Blue, then Red, then Yellow
