Which runner set the fastest pace? explain.

Um... you can't see what you need to solve the problem in the picture. Take a picture of the chart.

Idk the answer but the table says 20 laps to 32 min and 16 laps to 25 min also it says 17 laps to 27.2 mins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Martha:20 laps to 32 min

Allison:16 Laps to 25 min

Rachel:17 Laps to 27.2 min

answer: answer

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
