Question

There were 45 runners sister erased in the first half of the race 2/3 of them dropped out in the second half of the race to fifth of the remaining runners chopped out how many runners finish the race

Answer 1

9 runners

Explanation:

Number of runners who started race = 45

Fraction that dropped off in the first half =. 2/3

Fraction of the remaining that dropped of in the second half = 2/5

Number of runners who dropped off in the first half :

(2/3) * 45 = (2 * 45) / 3 = 90 /3 = 30 runners

Runners left = (45 - 30) = 15

Number who dropped off in the second half :

(2/5) * 15 = (2 * 15) / 5 = 30 /5 = 6 runners

Number of runners who finished the race :

(15 - 6) = 9 runners
