Answer:

the runners have gone 20.8 times around the globe all together

Step-by-step explanation:

At the Bostom Marathon, we have a total of

N = 20,000 runners

We know that each runner ran a distance of

d = 26 miles

Therefore, the total distance travelled by all runners combined is:

D=Nd=(20,000)(26)=5.2\cdot 10^5 mi

We know that the circumference of the Earth is

c=2.5\cdot 10^4 mi

Here we want to find how many times around the globe would the marathon runners have gone. This can be found by calculating the following ratio:

n=\frac{D}{c}

And substituting the values, we find:

n=\frac{5.2\cdot 10^5}{2.5\cdot 10^4}=20.8

So, the runners have  gone 20.8 times around the globe all together.
