Beyond the Answer
To find out what percent of the marathon has been completed, you can use the formula: \[ \text{Percent Completed} = \left(\frac{\text{Distance Run}}{\text{Total Distance}}\right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values for the distance run (19 miles) and the total distance of a marathon (26 miles): \[ \text{Percent Completed} = \left(\frac{19}{26}\right) \times 100 \approx 73.08\% \] So, the marathon runner has completed approximately \( 73.08\% \) of the marathon. If you round this, you could say she's completed about \( 73\% \) of the marathon. Keep going, it's nearly time to cross that finish line!
