Answer 6

There were 45 runners to start a race. In the first half of the race,1/3 of them dropped out. In the second half of the race, 2/5 of the remaining runners dropped out. How many runners finished the race?

Answer 7

If you divide 45 by 3, you get 15. 15 is 1/3 of 45. So that leaves 45-15 = 30 runners. The second half, you divide 30 by 5 to get 6. 6 is 1/5 of 30, so 2/5 of that would be 12. 30-12 = 18 runners finished.
