Answer 1

The best statement to explain the results is:

The horseshoes have the same mass, but Drew threw with more force than Blake.

This is because Blake's horseshoe landed three-fourths of the way to the target, indicating less force, while Drew's horseshoe landed past the target, which suggests he used more force in his throw.
