Question

Two marathon runners run the full distance of the marathon, approximately 26 miles, in 4 hours.

Part A

About how many miles did they run in 1 hour?

Enter the correct answer in the box. Part B

What percent of the full distance have they run in 1 hour?

Enter the correct answer in the box.

Answer 1

6.5 miles in 1 hour and they will run 75% of the full distance in 1 hour.

Explanation:

The distance covered by two marathon runners = 26 miles

They takes 4 hours

We need to find how many miles did they run in 1 hour

In 4 hour, the distance covered is 26 miles

To find distance covered in 1 hour, divide 26 by 4 such that.

`d=(26)/(4)\\\\d=6.5\ \text{miles/hour}`

So, they will cover 6.5 miles in 1 hour.

For percentage,

`\%=(26-6.5)/(26)* 100\\\\=75\%`

So, they will run 75% of the full distance in 1 hour.
