The total runners who began the marathon is 1000

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Runners who completed the marathon = 90%

Men = 30%

Number of men completed the marathon = 270

Total runners who began the marathon = ?

Let the total runners be x

According to question:

Runners who completed the marathon = \frac{90}{100} X x

                                                                 = 0.9x

and,

\frac{30}{100} X 0.9 x = 270

Solving further:

0.9x = \frac{270 X 100}{30} \\\\x = \frac{270 X 100}{30 X 0.9} \\\\x = 1000

Therefore, total runners who began the marathon is 1000

Using short sentences makes the author sound rude. using run-on sentences makes the author seem super talkative. I suggest use medium length sentences to set the tone.

Which sentence best explains how the illustration relates to the point? gilgamesh overcomes his fear despite humbaba’s ferocity.
IceJOKER [234]

Gilgamesh overcomes his fear despite humbaba’s ferocity best describes how the illustration connects to the point.

<h3>How does Gilgamesh overcome his fear of mortality?</h3>

Enkidu's death stands as what sparks Gilgamesh's motivation to set out on a journey to discover eternal life. At first, Gilgamesh fears death because Enkidu died; his emotions change after his investigation when Gilgamesh accepts death, and he recognizes mortals stand not meant to live forever. Gilgamesh's fear of death exists a fear of meaninglessness and, although he falls to win immortality, the quest itself shows his life meaning.

Gilgamesh demonstrated heroism when he conquered the monster Humbaba. The giant creature lived in the Cedar Forest and threatened all who lived nearby, refusing to permit anyone to pass through the forest. Gilgamesh was considered a hero because he had many wonderful qualities, such as loyalty, perseverance, and heroism. Although these exist as heroic traits, he also had his flaws and was self-righteous, greedy, and prideful. Gilgamesh was a generous man and was seen as flawless and “perfect in strength”.

Hence, Gilgamesh overcomes his fear despite humbaba’s ferocity best describes how the illustration connects to the point.
