Answer:

[tex]41.8\ \text{km}[/tex]

Explanation:

Total distance of one lap of the marathon = 42.2 km

Distance of the lap that is inside the stadium = 400 m

The distance that is run outside the stadium is the difference between the two distances

[tex]42.2\times 10^3-400=41800\ \text{m}=41.8\ \text{km}[/tex]

The distance that is run on the road outside is [tex]41.8\ \text{km}[/tex]..
