Answer:

7 x 6 x 5 = 210

Step-by-step explanation:

its a combination's problem.

7 horses are eligible for first place.

6 of those are eligible for 2nd given that one of the 7 finished first.

similarly 5 of the remaining are eligible for 3rd place given 2 horses have taken the first 2 spots.

therefore 7 x 6 x 5 possible combinations = 210 combinations.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

12/4

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies directly with x basically means y÷x so you will have to divide the variables together. In other words, it basically means y varies proportionally as x

so in this case, it would be 12 divided by 4 resembling that y varies directly as x
