<h3>Answer:  6 different ways</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let's name the friends A, B, C

If person A is first, then B or C could be second and third.

So we have ABC or ACB as two possible outcomes.

If B is first, then either A is second or C is second. Meaning we have BAC or BCA.

If C is first, then we have CAB or CBA

Overall here are the 6 different ways to have the runners finish

  1. ABC ... A is first
  2. ACB ... A is first
  3. BAC ... B is first
  4. BCA ... B is first
  5. CAB ... C is first
  6. CBA ... C is first

Note how for the first slot we have 3 ways to pick the winner. Then after that selection is made, we have 2 choices left, then 1 choice for third place. Therefore, 3*2*1 = 6 different outcomes are possible.

We can use the factorial operation on the calculator to do this with one button press, so we'd say 3! = 6. The exclamation mark means "multiply from 3 down to 1, counting down the whole time".

Another example of a factorial is:

5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120

See photo for solution and mark me as brainliest if i helped :)

A: although it seems like they are forming a 90º angle, they actually add up to a 89 º angle and therefore are not complementary

Vlada [557]
Here are some examples of equivalent ratios for 1/6:
2:12, 3:18, 4:24, 5:30, 6:36

All of these simplify to 1/6, which makes them equivalent. Hope this helps! :)

pickupchik [31]
The experimental probability that the high temp will be below 45 F on the 29th day is, 4.5 out of 29 days, that is because 20 of the days have had lower temperatures, so they left 9 days of and from those 9 days, they could be lower or greater that 45F (50% each side), that is:
4.5/29 = 0.155 = 15.5%
that is the exp probability

A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes or a simple arrangement in 10 minutes. The florist makes at least twice as
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of simple arrangements and y be the number of grand arrangements.

1. The florist makes at least twice as many of the simple arrangements as the grand arrangements, so

x\ge 2y

2. A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes =\dfrac{3}{10} hour, then he can make y arrangements in \dfrac{3}{10}y hours.

A florist can make  a simple arrangement in 10 minutes =\dfrac{1}{6} hour, so he can make x arrangements in \dfrac{1}{6}x hours.

The florist can work only 40 hours per week, then

\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x\le 40

3. The profit on the simple arrangement is $10, then the profit on x simple arrangements is $10x.

The profit on the grand arrangement is $25, then the profit on y grand arrangements is $25y.

Total profit: $(10x+25y)

Plot first two inequalities and find the point where the profit is maximum. This point is point of intersection of lines x=2y and \dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x=40

But this point has not integer coordinates. The nearest point with two integer coordinates is (126,63), then the maximum profit is

\$(10\cdot 126+25\cdot 63)=\$2,835
