Answer 2

Answer:

$26\frac{1}{5}$ miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are 26.2 miles in a marathon. We are asked to find the number of miles using a mixed number in simplest form.

First of all, we will convert our given number as a fraction by multiplying and dividing by 10 as:

$26.2\times\frac{10}{10}=\frac{262}{10}$

$\frac{262}{10}=26\frac{2}{10}$

$26\frac{2*1}{2*5}$

$26\frac{1}{5}$

Therefore, the number of miles in mixed number would be $26\frac{1}{5}$ miles.
