In a spelling bee, contestant A spelled more words correctly than contestant B but fewer than contestant C. Contestant D spelled fewer words than A but more than B. Who performed the best? (2023)
Step 1: Identify the relationships between the contestants based on the information given.
Step 2: Contestant A spelled more words than contestant B, so we write A > B.
Step 3: Contestant A spelled fewer words than contestant C, so we write C > A.
Step 4: Contestant D spelled fewer words than A but more than B, so we write A > D > B.
Step 5: Now we combine all the relationships: C > A > D > B.
Step 6: From the order, we see that contestant C performed the best.
