Question

1. josh, candy, sarah, and lori are playing a board game. they roll a dice to see how far they get to move. sometimes they land on a space that sends them backwards a certain number of spaces. given the information below for the first three rolls of the game, put the players in order starting with the person who is the closest to the starting point after three turns.

turn	josh	candy	sarah	lori
2	rolled 1	rolled 1, landed on a space that sent her back 2	rolled 4, landed on a space that sent her back 3	rolled 4
3	rolled 5	rolled 6	rolled 5	rolled 1

use the arrows to move each item into the correct order. click the up arrow to move the item up, or click the down arrow to move the item down. once all items are in the correct order, submit your response.

↑ ↓ josh
↑ ↓ lori
↑ ↓ sarah
↑ ↓ candy

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Josh's total moves

Josh's rolls: 2 (Turn 1) + 1 (Turn 2) + 5 (Turn 3) = $2 + 1 + 5 = 8$

Step2: Calculate Candy's total moves

Candy's rolls: 6 (Turn 1) + (1 - 2) (Turn 2) + 6 (Turn 3) = $6 + (1 - 2) + 6 = 6 - 1 + 6 = 11$

Step3: Calculate Sarah's total moves

Sarah's rolls: 3 (Turn 1) + (4 - 3) (Turn 2) + 5 (Turn 3) = $3 + (4 - 3) + 5 = 3 + 1 + 5 = 9$

Step4: Calculate Lori's total moves

Lori's rolls: 2 (Turn 1) + 4 (Turn 2) + 1 (Turn 3) = $2 + 4 + 1 = 7$

Step5: Order by closeness to start (smallest total first)

Lori (7) < Josh (8) < Sarah (9) < Candy (11)

Answer:

1. Lori
2. Josh
3. Sarah
4. Candy
