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

Answer:

66.67%

Step-by-step 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.

$\frac{13.1}{19.65} \times 100\%$

$0.6667\times 100\%$

Multiply by 100 by moving the decimals forward twice.

$66.67\%$

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