Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with 90 runners.

1/3 dropped out.

1/3 of 90 = 1/3 * 90 = 30

30 runners dropped out.

90 - 30 = 60

Now there are 60 runners.

3/5 of the remaining runners dropped out.

3/5 of 60 = 3/5 * 60 = 36

36 runners dropped out.

60 - 36 = 24

24 runners finished the race.
