of them dropped out. In the second half of the race,1/4 of the remaining runners dropped
out. How many runnrs finished the race?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

48 times 2/3 gives you the amount of runners that dropped out in the first half of the race. take that number (32), and subtract it from the original. You should be left with 16. Then take 1/4 of the remaining runners (16 times 1/4, which is 4), and subtract it from 16. this gives you 12
