Answer:

970,200

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 100 man race, how many runners have the chance to finish first?

Answer 100.

Now that 1 person is first, how many runners could be second? Well, there are still 99 runners left, and any one of them could be second.

Answer 99.

How many can be third? Using the same idea as above, once one person is first and another is second, that leaves 98 people still running and trying for third. So how many can be in third?

Answer 98.

Now you need to do the math.

100 × 99 × 98 = 970,200

So there are 970,200 different ways.

Hope this helps!! Brainliest :) ?

An instructor made a frequency table of the scores his students got on a test score frequency 30-under 40 1 40-under 50 4 50-und
RideAnS [48]
First, you add up the total number of students because we would base our percentage one this.

Total number of students = 1+4+5+10+20+10+5
Total number of students = 55

Now, let's count how many of them got a score of more than 70. For this, you would only count the students belonging to 70-under 80, 80-under 90 and 90-under 100.

Students who got more than 70 = 20+ 10 + 5 = 35

Therefore the percentage is equal to:
Percentage = 35/55 * 100 = 63.64%
