Question

Roberto has already run 16 of 26.2 miles of a marathon. Rounded to the nearest whole number, what percent of the marathon has he completed? I know

Answer 1

62%.

Explanation:

We are given that marathon is 26.2 miles long and Roberto completed 16 of this marathon.

Now let us find 16 is what percent of 26.2.

`(16)/(26.2) *100`

`0.610687*100`

`61.07`

Now let us round our answer to nearest whole number.
`61.0687` rounded to nearest whole number will be
`61`.

Therefore, Roberto ran 61% of the marathon.

Answer 2

Alright, lets get started.

Roberto has already run miles = 16

Total miles for marathon = 26.2

As per percentage formula :

`(number of miles)/(total miles) *100`

So, percentage completed =
`(16)/(26) *100 = 61.54`

Rounding the answer to whole number 62 %

62 percent of the marathon he has completed. : Answer
