Mrquis ran 1/2 mile, Chad ran 7/8 mile, Jose ran 3/5 mile, and stephen ran 3/4 mile. Order them greatest to least

Chad, Stephen, Jose and Mrquis

Step-by-step explanation:

We can change them to Percentage to make their ordering easier.

Mrquis ran 1/2 mile = 1/2 × 100 = 50%

Chad ran 7/8 mile = 7/8 × 100 = 87.5%

Jose ran 3/5 mile = 3/5 × 100 = 60%

Stephen ran 3/4 mile = 3/4 × 100 = 75%

Therefore, the ordering from the greatest to the least will be:

Chad, Stephen, Jose and Mrquis

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
