Question

karla is training for a marathon she can run 2 miles and 16 minutes if she runs at that pace the whole race how long will it take her to run the entire Marathon

Answer 1

We know that a marathon is 26.2 miles, so we can set up a proportion to solve for the time it would take her to run the entire marathon:

`(2miles)/(16minutes) =(26.2miles)/(x)`

Then solve for x by cross multiplying:

`2x=419.2`

`x=209.6minutes`

So now we know it will take Karla 209.6 minutes to run the entire marathon, or, in hours, 3.49 hours.
