Answer:
The entire race is 26.20 miles long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Sam is 18.34 miles in the race.
This length represents the 70% of the entire length of the race.
Let,
x be the total length of the race.
70% of x = 18.34
[tex]\frac{70}{100}x=18.34\\[/tex]
0.7x = 18.34
Dividing both sides by 0.7
[tex]\frac{0.7x}{0.7}=\frac{18.34}{0.7}\\x=26.20[/tex]
Hence,
The entire race is 26.20 miles long.
