Final answer:

To find Adele's time at her most recent race, subtract 26% of her previous time from her previous time and we get 148 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Adele's time at her most recent race, we need to calculate 26% of her time at the previous race and subtract it from her previous time.

26% of 200 minutes is calculated by multiplying 200 by 0.26:

26% ÷ 100% = 0.26

0.26 x 200 = 52 minutes

To find her time at the most recent race, we subtract 52 minutes from her previous time:

200 minutes - 52 minutes = 148 minutes
