Question

Arman, Babken, and Cecilia decided to compete in a 100m run. When Arman crossed the finish line, Babken was 10m behind him. When Babken crossed the finish line, Cecilia was 10m behind him. How far was Cecilia behind Arman when he crossed the finish line?

Answer 1

Isn’t this just 20m? Or is it a trick question and I’m just not getting it?

Arman (10m) Babken (10m) Cecilia

Answer 2

Answer:

19 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

When Arman finished, Babken is 10 meters behind. So, Babken has 10 meters left.

Ex: Babken has 10 meters left, Cecilia is 9 meters behind.

So, the answer is 10+9=19.

19 meters.
