Question

On a certain marathon course a runner reaches a big hill that is at least 10 miles into the race. If a total marathon is 26.2 miles, how can u find the number of miles the runner still has to go?

Answer 1

If x is the number of miles to g then 

x <= 26 .2 - 10

x <= 16.2   

Answer 2

this would have to be an inequality equation.

 Marathon is 26.2 miles

they get to a hill that is at least 10 miles into the race

26.2-10=16.2

so they have at most 16.2 miles to go

the equation is X<=16.2
