The number of the students that remained in the race after the first half is calculated by multiplying the number of students by 2/3 because 1/3 of them dropped out.

                         N (first half) = 42 x 2/3

                         N (first half) = 28

 

Then, the number of students who finished the race is one-fourth of the calculated number above. Thus, the final answer to this item would be 14.
