Final answer:
The statement regarding Aldo finishing 43% of his run on the treadmill would correspond to 33.11 minutes of running if he set the treadmill for 77 minutes. However, without information about the treadmill's actual readout, we cannot definitively label the statement as true or false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question provided by the student involves assessing whether the statement about Aldo's run on the treadmill is correct given that he has completed 43% of his run. Considering that Aldo set the treadmill time for 77 minutes, we can calculate the time he has been running by finding 43% of 77 minutes:
To find out 43% of 77 minutes, we use the formula:
Time elapsed = 43% of 77 minutes
43/100 × 77 = 33.11 minutes (rounded to two decimal places)
If the treadmill says that Aldo has finished 43% of his run, and we have calculated the time equivalent, we can conclude that:
The statement is most likely true if the treadmill's readout matches this calculation. However, we do not have information about what the treadmill actually displays, so we cannot definitively say whether the statement is true without that specific information. Therefore, we cannot provide an answer of 'true' or 'false' to this question without more context.
