There were 56 runners to start a race. In the first half of the race, 1/4 of them dropped out. In the second half of the race, 3/7 of the remaining runners dropped out. How many runners finish the race?

24 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/4 of the runners dropped out, then 1 - 1/4 or 3/4 continued on. 3/4 of 56 or 3/4 *56 is 42 runners left. Then, out of these 42, 3/7 dropped out. This means 1 - 3/7 or 4/7 of the runners remained. This means that 4/7 * 42 or 24 runners finished the race.

mean, 40.6
