Answer:
Time, t = 3.04 hours
Explanation:
Given that,
Average speed of the marathon, v = 8.6 mi/h
Distance covered by the marathon runner, d = 26.22 mi
We need to find the time taken by the marathon runner to run that distance. Time taken is given by :
[tex]t=\dfrac{d}{v}[/tex]
[tex]t=\dfrac{26.22\ mi}{8.6\ mi/h}[/tex]
t = 3.04 hours
So, the time taken by the marathon runner is 3.04 hours. Hence, this is the required solution.
