Answer 1

To the nearest tenth of a meter, this is 3,309.4 m

Explanation:

Here, we want to convert the jogging distance to meters only

we have 2 miles 120.3 yards

5,280 ft = 1 mile

2 miles will be 5,280 * 2 = 10,560 ft

3 ft = 1 yard

x ft = 120.3 yards

x = 120.3 * 3 = 360.9 ft

Adding both together to give ft only, we have

360.9 + 10,560 = 10,920.9 ft

1 m = 3.3 ft

x m = 10,920.9 ft

x = 10,920.9/3.3

x = 3,309.363636363636

To the nearest tenth of a meter, this is 3,309.4 m
