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 :) ?

There are 52 colas and 26 lemon-lime sodas in the cooler. What is the ratio of colas to lemon-lime sodas?
sergejj [24]
Hi there.

If there are 26 lemon-lime sodas and 52 colas, then that means our ratio is going to be 52:26; however, this is not simplified as both of these are even numbers. To simplify, divide both of these numbers by 26.

26 / 26 = 1
52 / 26 = 2

Our new and simplified ratio of colas to lemon-lime sodas is going to be
2:1.

I hope this helps!
