I need to do a quick check for my homework by tomorrow.
Sally,Jennifer,Theresa & Gina competed in a 100-meter race. Sally's time for the race was 12.330 seconds. Gina's time 12.034 seconds. Theresa's time was 12.003 seconds. Gina's time was 12.031 seconds. What is the order of how they finished in the race?
You asked us to check your homework. We'll be glad to check your answer.
ok thanks I think the order is 12.003,12.301,12.034,12.330
Am I correct?
Nope.
12.003 is the first one. A 0 is in the tenths place.
For the second place, find the other time that shows 0 in the tenths place.
The rest of your answer doesn't match the problem. One of them must have a typo.
To determine the order in which Sally, Jennifer, Theresa, and Gina finished the race, we need to compare their times and find the lowest time. The athlete with the lowest time finished first, followed by the second-lowest, and so on. Let's compare their times:
1. Sally: 12.330 seconds
2. Jennifer: Unknown
3. Theresa: 12.003 seconds
4. Gina: 12.031 seconds
From the given information, Sally has the highest time, so we know she finished last. Theresa has the lowest time, so she finished first. Now we need to determine whether Jennifer or Gina finished in second place.
Comparing Jennifer and Gina's times, we have:
- Jennifer's time: Unknown
- Gina's time: 12.031 seconds
Since Jennifer's time is unknown, we can't determine if she finished before or after Gina. Without additional information, we cannot definitively establish the order of Jennifer and Gina in the race.
However, we can determine the order of the racers based on the given information:
1. Theresa
2. Unknown (either Jennifer or Gina)
3. Unknown (either Jennifer or Gina)
4. Sally
Unfortunately, we cannot determine the exact order of Jennifer and Gina without additional information.
