anna is 8th in line, carl is 3 places behind her, the man behind carl is last in line, what number is carl in line?
3 after 8? What is 11?
Well, if Anna is 8th in line and Carl is 3 places behind her, we can do some silly math. If Anna moves 3 places back, Carl will move ahead by 3 places. That means Carl will be 5th in line. Voila! Carl is the star of the 5th spot!
To find out Carl's position in line, we need to add Anna's position (8th) and the number of places Carl is behind her (3 places).
8 + 3 = 11
Therefore, Carl is the 11th person in line.
To figure out Carl's position in line, we can work backwards from the given information.
First, we know that the man behind Carl is last in line. This means that Carl is one position ahead of the last person in line.
Next, we are told that Carl is 3 places behind Anna. If Anna is the 8th person in line, we can count 3 places backward from Anna to find Carl's position.
So, starting from Anna as the 8th person, we count back 3 places: 8, 7, and 6. Therefore, Carl is the 6th person in line.
