Help with word problems!?

Question

1. Midway through a 20000- meter race, a photo is taken of 5 runners. It shows Meg 20 meters behind Edith. Edith is 50 meters ahead of Wanda, who is 20 meters behind Olivia. Olivia is 40 meters behind Nadine. Who is ahead?

Thanks in advance! :)

Answer 1

Nadine, then 10 behind her is Edith, then 20 behind her is Meg, then 10 behind her is Olivia, and then 20 behind her is Wanda.  So it would look something like this... W  O M  E N.  Get it?

Answer 2

Nadine and here is how I tried to calculate it

Wanda is 20m behind Olivia

Olivia is 10m behind Meg

Meg is 20 me behind Edith

Edith is 10 m behind Nadine.

I drew a graft using their names and drawing lines representing meters betweeen the runners.

After I submitted my answer I read yours Lincoln....I didn't even see WOMEN.  Thats awsome.  thumbs up dude.
