The number of kilometers she will have left to run to finish the race is 0.9 km.

Given the following data:

  • Total distance = 13.5 km
  • Speed = [tex]8\frac{2}{5} \;km/hr[/tex]
  • Time = 1.5 hours

To determine the number of kilometers she will have left to run to finish the race:

First of all, we would calculate the distance she has covered by using this formula;

[tex]Distance = speed \times time\\\\Distance = 8\frac{2}{5} \times 1.5\\\\Distance = \frac{42}{5} \times \frac{3}{2} \\\\Distance = \frac{63}{5}[/tex]

Distance = 12.6 meters.

For the distance left:

[tex]Distance\;left = Total\;distance - Distance\;covered\\\\Distance\;left =13.5 -12.6[/tex]

Distance left = 0.9 km.
