In the ratio, the numbers are 2 for the shortest side, 3 for the middle sized side, and 4 for the longest side.
2 is to 6 cm as 4 is to x

2x = 24
x = 12
Answer: The longest side measures 12 cm.
The probability of getting the correct order in the spelling bee is 1 chance in 362,880.
This is a permutation problem. Our goals is to find the total number of ways that the 9 students can be ordered.
For the first spot there are 9 choices, then 8 choices, then 7 choices....
We need to evaluate:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362,880
Another way to write this is: 9!
Multiply numerator and denominator by the same number - 50/100.
