Answer:
Jennifer - 1st
Susan - 2nd
Emily - 3rd
Janice - 4th
Maria - 5th
Step-by-step explanation:
Susan is 2nd.
Places 1, 3, 4, and 5 are left.
Janice and Jennifer both start with J. None of the other swimmers start with the same first letter. One is 1st and one is 4th.
Since Maria finished immediately after Janice, and Janice must be 1st or 4th, Janice can't be first since 2nd place is already taken. This means that Janice is 4th and Maria is 5th.
Places 1 and 3 are left.
We know Jennifer is 1st or 4th and since 4th is taken, Jennifer is first.
Place 3 is left.
Emily must be 3rd since that is the only spot left.
26 percent?
A percent is a fraction out of a hundred. 5% is 5 out of one hundred, 20% is 20 out of one hundred, etc.
So 26/100 simplified is 13/50.
Why are standardized units of measure important to scientists?
Answer:
8x² + 6x - 35
Step-by-step explanation:
A = (2x + 5)(4x - 7)
Front: 2x * 4x = <em>8x²</em>
Outside: 2x * (-7) = <em>-14x</em>
Inside: 5 * 4x = <em>20x</em>
Last: 5 * -7 = <em>-35</em>
Add up: <em>8x² - 14x + 20x -35</em>
Simplify: 8x² + 6x - 35
