Answer:
08 runners finished the race.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Number of runners at the race = 60
Number of runners dropped in first half = 1/3 of 60
Number of runners dropped in first half = [tex]\frac{1}{3}*60 = 20[/tex]
Remaining runners = 60 - 20 = 40
Number of runners dropped in second half = 4/5 of 40
Number of runners dropped = [tex]\frac{4}{5}*40 = 32[/tex]
Runners left = 40 - 32 = 08
Hence,
08 runners finished the race.
