Question

Emma and Kelton are running a (26.2) mile marathon. Emma has run 19.65 miles so far, while Kelton has run 13.1 miles. What percentage of Emma's distance has Kelton completed.

Answer 1

66.67%

Explanation:

The distance Emma has run is 19.65 miles.

The distance Kelton has run is13.1 miles.

We want to express 13.1 miles as a percentage of 19.65 miles.

The quantity that comes after 'of' becones the base or denominator.

`(13.1)/(19.65) * 100\%`

`0.6667* 100\%`

Multiply by 100 by moving the decimals forward twice.

`66.67\%`

Therefore Kelton has covered 66.67% of Emma's distance.
