Answer:

Pete -> Dan -> Ed -> Leo -> Ilya

Step-by-step explanation:

Quite tricky, but here it is.

If Pete stood in the middle, let's call it position 3.

He would be between Dan and Leo. Let's say Dan is at position 2, and Leo is at position 4. I got that from arithmetic, numbers before and after 3. In this scenario, we don't know we're both Ed and Ilya are.

Now, another says if Pete were to stand at the end, say position 5, he would be next to Ilya, say position 4. In this scenario, we don't know where Ed, Leo and Dan are, but we know for certainty they are ahead of Ilya since Ilya is 4th.

Last scenario, if Pete is standing in front of his friends, then who is where?

From the first scenario, we know that Dan is second, ahead of Leo.

From the second, we know that Ilya is just behind, so, Dan and Leo are ahead of him, yeah? That means we've established them in this order.

Dan -> Leo -> Ilya

And that leaves us with where Ed is.....

Going by the second scenario, we can adjudge that Ilya is the last person and thus, Ed is before him. If Pete stands in front with Dan at second, Leo at fourth and Ilya at fifth, that leaves us with the 3rd position for Ed.

So, we have

Pete -> Dan -> Ed -> Leo -> Ilya

What is the slope of the line
ELEN [110]

Answer:

The slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run.

The line rises 2 units up for every 1 unit it moves right.

Thus, the slope would be 2/1, which is the same as 2.

Round 23.2736 to the nearest thousandth​
alekssr [168]

Answer:

23.274

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, rounding to the nearest thousandth means rounding to the nearest 0.001.

Hence, due to the digit being rounded having a number larger than 5 after it (0.2736), it is rounded up.

Hope this helped!

Reagan and Nathan are 40 miles apart on a bike trail when they start pedaling toward each other on their b bicycles. Reagan ride
irinina [24]

Answer:

They meet in 2.22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the time at which Reagan and Nathan meet by equaling the time as follows:

v_{R} = \frac{x_{R}}{t}  

x_{R} = v_{R}t    (1)      

v_{N} = \frac{x_{N}}{t}  

x_{N} = v_{N}t   (2)

Where R is for Reagan and N for Nathan.

Knowing that:

x_{R} + x_{N} = 40 mi

By adding equations (1) and (2) we have:

x_{R} + x_{N} = v_{R}t + v_{N}t

t = \frac{x_{R} + x_{N}}{|v_{R}| + |v_{N}|} = \frac{40 mi}{8 mi/h + 10 mi/h} = 2.22 h

Therefore, they meet in 2.22 hours.        

I hope it helps you!
