Answer 1

Between markers 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each student runs 2 / 11 miles. Given this, how many miles do the first two students run?

The answer is

`(2)/(11)\cdot2=(4)/(11)\text{miles}`

Now, we know that the course has markers every 0.1 miles. How many markers are ther in 4 /11 miles?

The answer is

`(2)/(11)\text{miles}*\frac{1\text{marker}}{0.1\; miles}`
`=3.6\text{ markers}`

This is between markers 3 and 4. Meaning that the second student finishes between markers 3 and 4.
