1. The problem asks to convert the marathon distance from kilometers to miles. Given: Distance in km = 42.195 Conversion factor: 1 mile = 1.6093 km To convert km to miles, use the formula: $$\text{distance in miles} = \frac{\text{distance in km}}{\text{km per mile}} = \frac{42.195}{1.6093}$$ Calculate: $$\frac{42.195}{1.6093} \approx 26.2187$$ Answer: The marathon distance in miles is approximately **26.22 miles**. 2. The problem asks to find the length of one piece of wood in feet after cutting a 132.5-meter tree into 10 equal pieces. Given: Height in meters = 132.5 Number of pieces = 10 Conversion factor: 1 meter = 3.2808 feet First, find the length of one piece in meters: $$\frac{132.5}{10} = 13.25 \text{ meters}$$ Convert 13.25 meters to feet: $$13.25 \times 3.2808 = 43.4726 \text{ feet}$$ Answer: One piece of wood is approximately **43.47 feet** long.
