Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
Mary, Ann, and Ria are from the same school, so that's 1 school so far.
HINTS AND CLUES:
- It cannot be an even number, because there isn't an EXACT middle number, so it has to be odd.
- Ann finished at the 19th position, AFTER Mary.
- Mary had the middle position (before Ann), so it cannot be 18 (clue No.1), so it has to be 17.
- The last position has to be bigger than 28, because it doesn't say that Ria finishes last.
CONCLUSION:
17 + 17 = 34
34 + 1 school (first sentence) = 35 schools.
So, therfore, 35 schools participated in the race
