Answer:

a)  66

b)  45

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 12 horses and after the first race 2 of them have to be eliminated

that condition is equal to consider that 10 horses will be available for the second race.

The number of possiblities we have for the first race is the combination of 12 horses in group of 10

C¹²₁₀   =  12!/ (2!)* (12-2)!   =  12*11/2   = 66

For the second race

C¹⁰₈  = 10! / 8! * (10-8)!   =   10*9/ 2   = 45

lozanna [386]

Answer:

About 3 times faster

Step-by-step explanation:

Cheetah's speed = 110 km / hr

World 100m sprint record :

Speed of sprinter :

Distance / time

100 m / 9.58s

= 10.438413 m/s

Convert Cheetah's speed to m/s

110 km/hr = (110 * 1000)m / (60 * 60 s)

= 110000 m / 3600 s

= 30.55555 m/s

Number of times cheetah is faster than sprinter :

30.55555 m/s ÷ 10.438413 m/s

= 2.927 times
