Answer 2

`26(1)/(5)` miles.

Explanation:

We have been given that there are 26.2 miles in a marathon. We are asked to find the number of miles using a mixed number in simplest form.

First of all, we will convert our given number as a fraction by multiplying and dividing by 10 as:

`26.2*(10)/(10)=(262)/(10)`

`(262)/(10)=26(2)/(10)`

`26(2*1)/(2*5)`

`26(1)/(5)`

Therefore, the number of miles in mixed number would be
`26(1)/(5)` miles.
