Bridget, Cassie, and Hannah are discussing the results of their last math test. Hannah shows Bridget and Cassie her test, but Bridget and Cassie don't show theirs to anyone. Cassie says, 'I didn't get the lowest score in our class,' and Bridget adds, 'I didn't get the highest score.' What is the ranking of the three girls from highest to lowest?

《Answer》

If Hannah did better than Cassie, there would be no way she could know for sure that she didn't get the lowest score in the class. Therefore, Hannah did worse than Cassie. Similarly, if Hannah did worse than Bridget, there is no way Bridget could have known that she didn't get the highest in the class. Therefore, Hannah did better than Bridget, so our order is

Cassie, Hannah, Bridget

hope the answer helps

can you give a thanks (or a brainllest, if u want to)

thank you

Answer:

Based on this I would say Cassie got the highest, then Hannah, then Bridget.

Explanation:

Cassie saying that she didn’t get the lowest means that her’s is higher than Hannah’s. The Bridget saying that she didn’t get the highest probably means she got lower than Hannah.
