Re: Help please !
they finish in the order a - c - b
a finished then 21 seconds later c finishes then 17 seconds later b finishes
a finished then 21 seconds later c finishes then 17 seconds later b finishes
Re: Help please !
duck a finishes first and b finishes last (since it is behined c)
we know the time between a and b is 38 seconds and we also know that between c and b is 17 seconds
therefore 38-17=21 seconds
we know the time between a and b is 38 seconds and we also know that between c and b is 17 seconds
therefore 38-17=21 seconds
