Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine the best explanation for the results, we need to consider the factors that could have contributed to the outcomes.

In this scenario, Ben's horseshoe landed three-fourths of the way to the target, while Peter's horseshoe landed past the target. The statement that best explains these results is option B: the horseshoes have the same mass, but Peter threw with more force than Ben.

The information provided does not mention anything about the mass of the horseshoes, so we can assume they are the same. However, since Peter's horseshoe landed past the target, it suggests that Peter threw with more force than Ben, resulting in the horseshoe traveling a greater distance.

Therefore, option B is the best explanation for the given results.
