Anna, Bridgit and Carol run in a $$100\text{m}$$ race. When Anna finishes, Bridgit is $$16\text{m}$$ behind her and when Bridgit finishes, Carol is $$25\text{m}$$ behind her. The girls run at constant speeds throughout the race. How far behind was Carol when Anna finished? 
Overseas Competition->Knowledge Point->Word Problem Modules
Carol finishes $$25$$ metres behind Bridgit, so she travels $$75$$ metres while Bridgit runs $$100$$ metres. Therefore she runs $$3$$ metres for every $$4$$ metres Bridgit runs. When Anna finishes, Bridgit has run $$84$$ metres, so that at that time Carol has run $$\frac{3}{4}\times 84$$ metres $$=63$$ metres. Hence Carol finishes $$\left( 100-63 \right)$$ metres $$= 37$$ metres behind Anna.
