Five runners, andy, beth, dale, ella, and tri, are in a one mile race. tri finished 5 seconds before beth. beth finished 3 seconds before andy. andy finished 4 seconds after dale. dale finished 6 seconds after ella. in which order did the runners finish the race?

The runners finish the race in order :

1)Ella

2)Tri

3)Dale

4)Beth

5)Andy                                                                          

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ella took x seconds .

Dale finished 6 seconds after Ella.

Dale took time = x+6

Andy finished 4 seconds after dale.

Andy's time = x+6+4=x+10

Beth finished 3 seconds before Andy.

Beth's time = x+10-3=x+7

Tri finished 5 seconds before Beth

Tri's time = x+7-5=x+2

So, time sequence : x,x+2,x+6,x+7,x+10

So, the runners finish the race in order :

1)Ella

2)Tri

3)Dale

4)Beth

5)Andy
