QUESTION:

Problem 23PE

Express your answers to problems in this section to the correct number of significant figures and proper units.

If a marathon runner averages 9.5 mi/h, how long does it take him or her to run a 26.22-mi marathon?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2:

        Speed of the marathon runner v = 9.5 mi/h

        Distance to be covered by the runner s = 26.22 mi

        We need to find the time taken by the runner to complete the specified distance with the correct significant figures. The least significant figure in the data given is two. Therefore our answer must match with the same least significant figures.
