Answer:

They can finish the race in 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 = 360360 order.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 bicyclists in the race. The first position would come from the first bicyclist to the 15th. Meaning the first position can be occupied by 15 individuals. The second position can only be occupied by 14 individuals since one person is already first. Same way the third, fourth and fifth positions can be occupied by 13, 12 and 11 individuals respectively.

Therefore, they can finish the race in

15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 = 360360 order.

Which fraction is equal to 5/6? 8/22, 25/30, 5/15?

nadya68 [22]

If the fraction cannot be simplified any more, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by an number.

5/6 (multiply the top and bottom by 2) is the same as 10/12
8/22 (can be simplified by dividing top and bottom by 2) is 4/11
25/30 (simplified by dividing by 5) is 5/6
5/15 (simplified by dividing by 5) is 1/3

Hope this helps!

The domain is the x-axis, and the range is the y values. The domain would be
-∞ to ∞. And the range is 2 to ∞.

I don't get the problem

Ulleksa [173]

A(b + c) = a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c

You must multiply individual terms and see what it would equal
