Answer 1

i think 4 will be your answer... not 100% sure though

Answer 2

Betty is 4 meters ahead of Donna

Explanation:

April is winning.

Carmen is 12 meters behind April.

Donna is 14 meters behind April.

i.e. Donna is 2 meters behind Carmen

(14-12=2)

and Betty is 2 meters ahead of Carmen.

That means Betty is 4 meters ahead of Donna (2+2)

Hence, Betty is 4 meters ahead of Donna
