The correct answer is (-4, -3)
The length is determined by multiplying the number of balls with the diameter. The answer that would come out of this is in units of centimeters.
L = (6.02 x 10^23 balls)(4 cm/ball)
L = 2.408 x 10^24 cm
Then, we use the proper conversion factor to convert centimeter to kilometer.
L = (2.408 x 10^24 cm)(1 m/100 cm)(1 km/1000 m)
L = (2.408 x 10^24)(10^5)
The answer to this item is 2.408 x 10^19 km.
3000 is the freaking right answer
The question also states that Lucy has a winning probability of 1/50, which means that she has 1 chance of winning if the total runners were 50. Therefore, there are 49 runners who may be faster than her.
The fact that Lucy is the 50th slowest runner, means that starting from the slowest she is in 50th position, therefore there are 49 runners that are slower than her.
The total number of runners will be the sum of those faster than Lucy, those slower than Lucy and Lucy:
49 + 49 + 1 = 99
There are 99 runners in Lucy's school.
Without context, d^3 + e^3 is equal to the equation you just showed.
