First place can be any one of the 3 competitors. For each of those . . .
Second place can be either one of the 2 remaining. For each of those . . .
Third place is the 1 remaining runner.
Total number of possibilities = (3 x 2 x 1) = <em>6</em> .
Here are all the possible ways they can finish:
1). A B C
2). A C B
3). B A C
4). B C A
5). C A B
6). C B A
Same as handshake problem.
Each of n persons plays against n-1 persons for a total of n(n-1)/2 games.
The division by 2 is necessary to avoid double counting the game A vs B and B vs A.
For n=8, then number of games played in the first round is 8(8-1)/2=28 games.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just divide 3 over 100 and you will get your answer or move the decimal over two times to the left and you will also get your answer (.03)
Step One
Find the area of the base
A = s * s
s = 755.5 feet
Area = 755.5^2
Area = 570780.25 square feet.
Step two
Multiply the volume by 3
V = 1/3 B * h
3*V = B * h
V = 85600000
85600000 * 3 = B * h
256800000 = B * h
Step Three
Divide by B
B = 570780.25
256800000 = 570780.25 * h
256800000 / 570780.25 = h
449.91 feet = h
124 Oz is the same as 7.75 pounds
