Question

Volunteers were 3/4 finished with the walkathon when they reached the 4 1/2 kilometer mark how long was the walkathon

Answer 1

Answer:

6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The part of the race have finished = $\frac{3}{4}$

And, the distance of race have completed = $4\frac{1}{2}$

That is,

$\frac{3}{4}\text{ part of the race}=4\frac{1}{2}\text{ km}=\frac{9}{2}\text{ km}$

$\implies 1\text{ Part of the race}=\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{9}{2}=\frac{36}{6}=6\text{ km}$

Hence, the length of the marathon would be 6 km.

Answer 2

It was 6 miles long.
