To determine the order of distances run by Joseph, Colby, and Susie, we need to interpret Joseph's distance, which is represented as V149. If we assume V149 indicates the square root of 149 miles, we need to calculate this value.
1. Calculate the distance for Joseph:
\[
\sqrt{149} \approx 12.21 \text{ miles}
\]
2. Compare with Colby's distance:
- Colby ran 13 miles.
3. Susie's distance is unspecified, but we don't know how far she ran without additional information.
Now we can compare the known distances:
- Joseph: approximately 12.21 miles
- Colby: 13 miles
Since we don't know the distance Susie ran, we can only order Joseph and Colby based on the calculated distances. Assuming Susie's distance was less than both or more:
- If Susie's distance is less than Joseph's (very unlikely for marathon training), the order would be:
- Colby (13 miles), Joseph (~12.21 miles), Susie (unknown)
- Order: Colby, Joseph, Susie
Based on the numbers we have:
- If Susie's distance is more than both, then the order would be:
- Susie, Colby, Joseph
Given the information we have and assuming typical marathon training distances, since we know Colby definitely ran more than Joseph, and if we don't have info about Susie's distance:
The best assumption without more information would be:
**Colby, Joseph, Susie (if her distance is less than Colby)**
However, since Susie's distance is not known, the order could vary depending on her actual distance relative to the others, but if relying solely on Colby and Joseph's known values, just from the options, it looks like:
- **The answer based on known distances is**: **Colby, Joseph, Susie** though this ordering assumes we do not know the distance Susie ran.
But with the given options, **the closest matching correct answer would be**: **Joseph, Colby, Susie** assuming Joseph is the shortest and Colby ran second, although it can be confusing without clear values for Susie. It's essential to note that if Susie’s run was anything competitive, she might have run further than both.
If we strictly go by the options given: **Colby, Joseph, Susie.**
