How many ways can first second and third place assigned

i cannot help you get the answer to the question without more information but i can explain how to solve it, what your question is, is called a "permutation"

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate permutations, use the equation nPr, where n is the total number of choices and r is the amount of items being selected. To solve this equation, use the equation nPr = n! / (n - r)!    , an exclimation point means the factorial, say we need the factorial of 4, we would do this 4x3x2x1 go left to right, and it is not all at once. you multiply 4 times 3 which equals 12, then multiply 12 times 2... so on and so forth

See image and explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Point (-7,-2) is the center of dilation. The scale factor is 2.

If point A has coordinates (-3,-2), then its image point H has coordinates (1,-2).

If point B has coordinates (-6,2), then its image point E has coordinates (-5,6).

If point C has coordinates (-4,3), then its image point F has coordinates (-1,8).

If point D has coordinates (-1,1), then its image point G has coordinates (5,4).
