27. Rick decided to run in a marathon, which is slighty more than 26 miles long. About how many kilometers will he run? (Hint: 1 mi = 1.6 km)

Explanation

Since 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers, to convert 26 miles to kilometers, we multiply 26 by 1.6. This gives us 41.6 kilometers. However, since the question asks for an approximate answer, we round down to the nearest whole number, which is 41 kilometers. Therefore, Rick will run approximately 41 kilometers in the marathon.

Explanation

Shamika will travel a total of 970 miles going home. This is because she will first drive from Bloomington to Springfield, which is not mentioned in the question but can be inferred. Then, she will drop off her relatives in Oakton and Scottsville, which does not affect the distance traveled. Finally, she will return to Harrisburg, which adds to the total distance traveled.

Submit
38. Jay's monthly payment for a new car would be about 1/2 of his repair expenses from January to April. Which of these could be the amount of Jay's monthly payment for a new car?

Explanation

Jay's repair expenses from January to April are twice the amount of his monthly payment for a new car. Therefore, if we divide the total repair expenses by 2, we can find the monthly payment. If we assume the repair expenses from January to April to be $500, then dividing it by 2 gives us $250, which matches the given answer. Therefore, $250.00 could be the amount of Jay's monthly payment for a new car.
