Jenna is twice as far from the finish line as she is from the start of a 10 km race. How far has she run?

Answer (2)

If she is still twice as far from the finish as she is from the start, then she has run one-third of the course so far, and has two-thirds left to go.
1/3 of 10 km = 10/3 km = 3 and 1/3 km, or 3,333 and 1/3 meters .

Jenna has run approximately 3.33 kilometers in the race. This is derived from the equation stating that she is twice as far from the finish line as she is from the start. Thus, she has completed one-third of the total distance of 10 km.
