Draw a Picture #2

DP #3

Hints and answers

Billy, Ray, Gary, Clayton, Floyd and Pete just completed a 3000 meter race. Use these clues to help you determine the order in which they finished.
  • Floyd finished 10 seconds behind Gary.
  • Ray beat Pete by 20 seconds.
  • Billy finished 4 seconds behind Gary and 30 seconds ahead of Ray.
  • Clayton's finish was halfway between Floyd and Pete.

It doesn't look like it, but the best way to solve this problem is to draw a diagram or picture of how the racers finished. Each clue will help with the ordering. Just put the boys in the diagram one (or two) at a time.

As always, be sure to explain the work you did to arrive at your answers!
