7th Place
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Seeing as how the number of runners in front of Paula is the number of runners behind her,
Assign the number of people behind Paula to a variable:
# of people behind Paula = b, which means
# of people ahead of Paula = b
Use the variable to make an equation:
b (people behind Paula) + b (people ahead of Paula) + 1 (Paula) = 25
b + b + 1 = 25
Solve for b:
b + b + 1 = 25
b + b = 24
b = 24
b = 18
If there are 18 people behind Paula, there are * 18 people in front of her, which is 6; This puts Paula in 7th place.
