Question

The Tour de France is a bike race around the country of France. The bike race is a three week race that covers approximately 2,200 miles. The first week covered 1200 miles, to the nearest whole percent. What percent of the race happened in the first week?

Answer 1

Approximately 54.54% of race happened in the first week.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Length of bike race in three weeks = 2,200 miles

Race covered in first week = 1,200 miles

Percentage of race covered in first week =

`=\frac{\text{Race covered in first week}}{\text{Total length of race}}* 100\%\\\\=(1200)/(2200)* 100\%\\\\=54.54\%`

Thus, approximately 54.54% of race happened in the first week.
