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.
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we can use the formula [ V = l * w * h ]
V = 5 * 2 1/2 * 1 1/2
V = 12 1/2 * 1 1/2
V = 18 3/4cm³
Now that we know the volume, we can check each answer choice.
Option A:
5 ∙ 2 1/2 ∙ 1 1/2
12 1/2 * 1 1/2
18 3/4cm³
Option B:
12 1/2 ∙ 1 1/2
18 3/4cm³
Option C:
1 1/2(5 + 2 1/2)
1 1/2(7 1/2)
11 1/4cm³
Option D:
1/2(12 1/2 ∙ 1 1/2)
1/2(18 3/4)
9 3/8cm³
Therefore, the only correct options are A and B.
Best of Luck!
Answer:
(x,y) = (.5x,5y)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9:1
Step-by-step explanation:
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 72 and 8 is 8
Divide both terms by the GCF, 8:
72 ÷ 8 = 9
8 ÷ 8 = 1
The ratio 72 : 8 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 8 :
72 : 8 = 9 : 1
Therefore:
72 : 8 = 9 : 1
