Answer:
132,600
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a total of 52 runners and 3 spots for the top. We can find how many ways they can finish with simple multiplication.
For the first spot there can be a possibility of 52 people.
For the second spot there can be a possibility of 51 people since there will be somebody in the first spot.
For the third spot there can be a possibility of 50 people since both the first and second spot are already taken.
Total number of ways = 52 x 51 x 50
Total number of way = 132,600
So there are 132,600 ways that 52 runners can finish first, second, and third in the race.
You asked this question twice but I am pretty sure that we would need to know at what height the ladder is touching the house to solve this.
M = 4b
m = b + 27
4b = b + 27
4b - b = 27
3b = 27
b = 27/3
b = 9......Brandon is 9
m = 4b
m = 4(9)
m = 36.....Michael is 36
Answer:
an exact location should be the right answer
I would say just round it up to 25.
