The two fastest times in past 20 years for the girls 200-meter run at clarksville elementary school are 27.97 seconds and 27.93 seconds. at yesterday's track meet, claire ran 27.99 seconds. was her time faster than either of the two fastest?

The answer to your question is: no

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Fastest time = 27.93 s

Second fastest time = 27.97 s

Claire's time = 27.99 s

Just remember that to win a race, the athete that wins must register the lowest time.

Substract Claire's time from the fastest time, if the result is positive, Claire ran slower, if the result is negative Claire ran faster than the previous Girls.

Difference 1 = 27.99 - 27.93 = 0.06 positive, Claire ran slower

Difference 2 = 27.99 - 27.97 = 0.02 positive, Claire ran slower.

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
