Answer:

x = 33.33 kilometers

Explanation:

you could make use of the percent, base, and rate formula here. we know that 15% is the rate, 5 kilometers is the percent, therefore what we are looking for is our base.


(percent)/(base) =(rate)/(100)


(5)/(x)=(15)/(100) ; cross multiply.

15x = 500

x = 33.33 kilometers

therefore, the race is 33.33 kilometers.
