Answer:

[tex]^8C_3=336way[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Number of runners [tex]N=8[/tex]

Distance [tex]d=400m[/tex]

Generally the top three places can be determined mathematically as        

     [tex]^8C_3[/tex]

     [tex]^8C_3=336way[/tex]

therefore the top three can be determined in 336ways
