A marathon is 26.2 miles which mean the distance = 26.2 miles
Sally ran a marathon in 3 hours and 3 minutes which mean the time taken to finish the marathon = 3 hours and 3 minutes
∴ distance = 26.2 miles
time = 3 hours and 3 minutes = 3 + 3/60 = 3.05 hours
∴ the approximate pace = speed = [tex] \frac{distance}{time} [/tex]
∴ the approximate pace = 26.2/3.05 ≈ 8.59 miles per hour
∴ The answer is her approximate pace = 8.59 mile/h
